Bring Our Baby in Safely

Donation protected
We are Joshua Wellington and Carmen Crow Gutierrez and we live in Aptos, CA. We just gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy and we are accepting donations from our community to help cover the costs of our birth. 

We conceived while we were still ungrounded post Santa Rosa fires last October. We understand that many families are facing what we faced last year with the fires in Southern California. We hold these families in our prayers and we also  support community outreach for them during these times. 

We have been blessed to receive many hand-me-downs and gifts from our baby shower and this has helped us in a big way! It takes a village and we are humbly asking for any and all support from you at this time through donations. 

Please help us meet our goal so that we can begin this child's life in the most secure way. 



This is the mother's first birth and we have been blessed to connect with one of the most experienced midwives in the area. We have already covered a large portion of the costs at hand and continue to work to pay in full~ we need support to cover costs for our midwife, as well as to cover time off for birth and postpartum. We believe in the importance of home birth and postpartum care and have some articles to share with you if you would like to know more about this.

Why Choose Home Birth  -  Midwifery Today  - Postpartum Care - Support

Below are the present costs we currently face, as we settle into our new family.

Midwife Fee (Not covered by medical insurance)-  $5000
Additional Help for Living Expenses per month- $2000
Monthly Income during Maternity Leave- $3000

Your donations will benefit this brand new baby. It will help cover living expenses during postpartum and support a healthy maternity leave for Mama and baby. It will cover the remaining costs for our midwife and assistant.  We would be so grateful to receive your support during this huge new-life change. We want to ensure the most secure beginnings for our family and we would greatly receive any and all donations of any size in this time.



Thank you for your loving, kind and generous support in helping us set up the best possibly entry for our baby boy.
