Happy birthday Tanya! Miss you so much. I hope our site blows up with donations in your honour today!! I can’t think of a better gift to give you.

Recipient will be a UBC midwifery student with preference for someone committed to working within Fraser Health region. We need more midwives and maternity care providers. This is your chance to help a midwife graduate.

If a tax donation matters to you, here is the link to donate directly to UBC. https://give.ubc.ca/memorial/tanya-lindstrom/. https://give.ubc.ca/memorial/tanya-lindstrom/

In leu of flowers please consider a donation to the UBC memorial scholarship fund. We are hoping to raise 50,000 as an initial investment.

Please note: Tanya and Marcus had moved in the summer and flower deliveries have been going to their old residence. They have asked for no more flower deliveries to this location especially but they do welcome donations to this trust fund.

We will set up a way to donate to UBC directly for those wanting a tax receipt.

Thank you so much. Tanya would be thrilled to know those she had an impact on were helping to invest in future midwives and maternity care in this provence.

Just leaving this right here. It’s been a hot minute since we posted.
For so many years we have longed to spend time together off call. Basking in the beauty of nature, far from cell service and the pressures of the world far behind us, we finally did. We had the perfect week with the most amazing group of women.
We love being midwives. This time away with each other … priceless. I love you.

Also, it’s a good day to follow and give to and

As James Baldwin wrote, “The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

If you are unmoved watching Palestinian mothers carrying their children’s limp bodies across the rubble every day in Gaza, I don’t really want to hear about “how the love of women saved you.” Audre Lorde was for Palestinian resistance and liberation. We get free together.

8 years ago I went to Nepal as part of my midwifery training…. This year has sent students back there.
It is an expensive trip and they brought many many donations. Their goal is to train and teach the local maternity care providers up to date skills and to bring them equipment and supplies. Please consider donating using the link provided in my stories.
