Share what is making pregnancy, postpartum recovery, a NICU stay, or your baby’s first year harder right now.
Maternal + Infant · The Porchlight Initiative
The First 365
The first year should begin with a circle of care—not a countdown to crisis.
Who this is for
Start with the person. Then build the response.
Pregnant women, postpartum mothers, babies, NICU families, and families navigating a child’s first year.
How it works
Postpartum doesn’t end at six weeks. Support shouldn’t either.
Receive tangible support
We connect families with maternal and infant essentials, NICU Mom + Baby baskets, practical education, peer support, and trusted referrals based on available resources.
Keep someone in your corner
Postpartum can reach well into the first two years. You have a real person to help you find the next right resource as needs change.
Our promise to you
We will listen first—and help you find the next right door.
Every situation is different. We will take time to understand what is happening, be honest about what we can offer, and explain the next step clearly. If another partner is better equipped to help, we will do our best to connect you. Your information and your story will be treated with care, dignity, and respect.
