Our mission is to unite people and resources to improve the health and well-being of pregnant women, children, and their families in Monroe County. We serve over three-fourths of the approximately 750 babies born in Monroe County each year and stay with families until their children reach kindergarten, serving thousands of children ages 0-5 annually. We work with women and families of all economic levels, with or without insurance. We work to address all issues related to pregnancy and infants, so that families in the Keys can give their children a Healthy Start.
For every $1 spent towards keeping a baby healthy, we save society $10. Improving birth outcomes and the lives of young children in Monroe County has a major impact on their cost to society later on. Most importantly, every dollar spent on a Coalition client improves the life of one child, mother, and a family. Please help us facilitate healthy babies and strengthen families in Monroe County by making a donation to our current greatest need.
$35 donation will buy a can of specialty formula or bottles for a baby with special nutritional needs.
$45 will buy a kit so a nursing mother can use one of our hospital-grade breast pumps.
$60 will purchase a car seat or a portable crib so a baby can travel or sleep safely.
$125 will provide counseling for a woman with post-partum depression.
$800 will provide an ultrasound for a woman with a high-risk pregnancy.
$1200 will provide labor doula services, including support during pregnancy, birth, and the first few weeks postpartum to an expecting family.

All donations stay in the community serving Keys families.
