Who pays for your services?

Jerri explains she gets paid from a non-profit agency called Family Center Doula Program*. She is part of their programming to reduce infant mortality in St. Paul (MN). She was trained to be available to support Deaf women and state funds funneled through the agency pay for her services.

*The actual name of the program is: Family Center Community Doula Program under the auspices of the American Indian Family Center in St. Paul: www.aifc.net
