Help Amber become a Bradley Method teacher

Donation protected
My wife Amber has always encouraged me to pursue my vocation. She loves our kids with her whole heart. She gives of herself so much. Her dream is to become a Bradley Method Natural Childbirth teacher, and I want to help her realize her dream. A little background.

When Amber was pregnant with our son, Alex, we were both thrilled but also a little scared. The world of medicine is not exactly our favorite place, and the movies and television sometimes make childbirth seem really traumatic. But then we discovered a world we had never heard of: The Bradley Method of natural childbirth. Over 12 weeks, we both felt relieved and empowered. Our teachers, Nancy and George Bernsten, were truly inspiring, and we met other moms and dads in a community of mutual encouragement. We learned that pregnant women weren't "patients," but strong women doing the most normal and beautiful thing in the world. We learned that dads were made to be their wives' greatest cheerleaders and advocates. We also learned to be grateful for more modern practices surrounding childbirth in the event that they were necessary, and we especially learned that there is no one right way to have a baby. It was all a joyous celebration of life.

Amber gave birth to both of our children with the help of midwives, and without any drugs. (But again, Bradley taught us to change course if we had to, and without any shame.) Amber then nursed both of our children and has become a passionate advocate of breastfeeding. Our family was prepared for all of this because of the Bradley Method, and after Amber delivered our daughter, Aimee, she told me she wanted to bring people into our own home and be a Bradley instructor one day. Now that our children are a little more independent, Amber has the time and energy to do it. The day has come.

With your help, Amber can enroll in the Bradley Method online training program ($1,595) and purchase books and materials she needs to complete the course. Then she will be fully certified and can begin offering classes to expectant families in our own home. You're making an investment in Amber that will pay out in the transformed lives of moms and dads to be. Amber will be able to generate income from the classes, but more importantly she will be able to offer the same knowledge and inspiration to others that George and Nancy offered to us when we came to their home to take Bradley classes back in 2010.

This is a surprise for Amber. She's ready to do this, but our funds are extremely limited at the moment. I want you to help me bless her with this, so she can be a blessing to others. Thank you!
