Something we all feared might happen, began to—Alisha hemorrhaged out, her blood pressure plummeting drastically, the hospital staff so slow to respond that she almost died while giving birth. We know this is all too terrifyingly common for birthing Black, working class people.
We waited, fearful, for updates through the night & morning hours. Finally just after 5am, Alisha was conscious enough to text and let us know she and K made it. In a country where being Black, birthing, cash poor, and single at a hospital can mean death…we are beside ourselves.
Please hold Alisha and K💕 in your hearts and minds—celebrate their fight for life and wishes for rest and healing with us.
Please give if you can toward their recovery time:
