🌿 Postpartum Sitz Bath – What It Is & Why It Helps

✨ What Is a Sitz Bath?

A sitz bath is a warm, shallow soak that covers the perineum (the area between the va**na and a**s). It’s traditionally used after childbirth to promote healing, soothe soreness, and keep the area clean.

I just recently added these to my Etsy shop link is below!

It is amazing what is going on for the community!

Guys, we’ve been a little slow to update — and I swear it’s only because we’ve been running at full speed behind the scenes! But I wanted to take a second and send out another huge, genuine thank you to everyone who has stepped up to help.

To date, we’ve served 471 meals…
That’s $4,710 worth of food that we’ve been able to pass out to people who needed it. And that is because of you.

We’ve used a portion of the fund to help fuel our Sunday community meals (and matched the other half ourselves), and we still have enough left to carry us through the rest of the month. And even though there may not be as many tickets on the board as before, donations are still coming in — and we’ll keep doing our best to stay ahead of the need.

From the bottom of my heart: thank you for every ounce of love, support, and belief you’ve poured into this mission. The fight is never truly over, but it feels like we’ve won a small part of this battle together.

We’ll see you this Sunday for barbecue! Sizzlin’ Pigs BBQ is rolling in with their smokers to help us feed the community! And we’ve got another one lined up after this before we adjust and keep serving our community however we’re needed.

Thank you again, sincerely.

#️⃣❤️🔥


DO GOOD RECKLESSLY
Much love
