Ready Set Push Inc

This past year held a lot at one time; meaningful work, real progress, complicated systems, grief, growth, fatigue, connection, and responsibility. Some things went as planned. Some didn’t. Some doors opened, others closed, and many lessons were learned in the middle.

We are especially aware of families who trusted us; communities carrying so much often without enough support; the weight of maternal and infant health inequities that remain and all of the quiet work happening every day that isn’t visible on social media.

The partnerships and relationships that were formed and strengthened this year were so impactful. I know I keep saying “if you wanna go far go together” but man did this year show just how true that phrase is.

Thank you to those who worked alongside us this year, who extended patience, collaboration, or honest feedback. It mattered and it grew us. Thank you to all who celebrated, shared, invited, reposted, met with us and worked with us.

Our focus continues to be the same. We want to be steady, focused on the community and consistently improving our foundation and operations to get better and better. Thanks for sharing the journey with us

We can’t let the day close without thanking everyone for a successful . We are reminded that the work we do matters; not just in the quiet ways but in ways that resonate long after the interaction. Here are some of our highlights:

Shaunette Young-Adams donated $250. When I called her to thank her she said she was so happy to get our email and grateful that we’re still here doing the work.

Angela Orenzack IBCLC an advisory board member became a monthly donor! How supportive is that! She says she wants to inspire others to do the same.

Atalya Rajahn, CBS, MPH, IBCLC wrote a beautiful post that lifted us up yesterday, but she always does. She’s consistent, loyal, and the best director of everthing 😂 here Ready Set Push Inc that we could ever ask for.

Stacy-Ann Louie and Rebecca Kerby shared and reposted our posts all day. They donated too! It was like they were pushing us all day to keep going! Thanks so much to the both of you.

Sonia Pahade our intern made a donation and that definitely made us want to push harder.

So many of you lifted us up, encouraged us to do the campaign and supported us in real ways. We appreciate all of you. Tamara Mason, MPH, CHES thanks for the push and the money🥰. Nicole Gray you started us off strong encouraging people to remember us yesterday. Your support is so important and we don’t take it for granted.

This collective support has been inspiring to say the least. Thanks to all of you again. We will definitely be at it again but most importantly we’ll keep pushing through the boundaries and standing in the gaps for families who need it

We are halfway to our goal! Keep sharing and posting as we head towards the end of encouraged some of our donors to give today? Here a quote from one of our last donors

After delivering my son, Kiana was instrumental in helping me begin my breastfeeding journey. She provided resources as well as gave me confidence that this is something that I could do. I’m four months post partum and so very thankful to Kiana that I can continue supplying my son with breast milk.
