Supporting Sam & River as They Welcome Their Baby In May 2026, Sam and River are preparing to welcome their beautiful baby into the world. This little one is already deeply loved, and this family is intentionally choosing a homebirth, surrounded by care, trust, and community. As many of you know, welcoming a baby is both magical and tender—and it takes real support to do it well. Sam and River have already put thoughtful planning and resources in place. They’ve secured some support and are doing everything they can to prepare responsibly. At the same time, there are remaining costs that need to be covered in order to fully secure their midwife team and ensure stability during the early months of becoming a family. This fundraiser is here to help bridge that gap. What Your Support Helps With Your contribution will go toward: Completing the midwife guarantee and homebirth care Essential baby supplies and postpartum needs Creating a grounded, supported start for their life as a family Reducing financial stress so Sam and River can focus on presence, rest, and bonding Homebirth is not just a setting—it’s a commitment to bringing new life into the world with intention, autonomy, and deep care. Having the right midwife support in place is essential to that vision. Why This Matters No one brings a child into the world alone. This is one of those moments where community truly becomes medicine. If you feel called to support—whether with a donation, a share, or a message of love—know that it means more than words can say. Every contribution, large or small, is a vote of confidence in this family and in the belief that babies deserve to be welcomed with steadiness, warmth, and support. Thank you for helping Sam and River begin this chapter feeling held, resourced, and surrounded by love. With gratitude, Sam, River, and family
