038. VLM Spotlight: How a Bereaved Mami's Profession Became Her Passion with Anna Calix
from Viva la Mami - Latina Motherhood, Modern Parenting, Latina Well-Being · host Jessica Cuevas
In this Viva la Mami Spotlight Episode, we welcome Anna Calix who has dedicated her career to helping other disadvantaged moms and babies thrive. Her profession became her passion when her first child, Liam, was stillborn on his due date in 2016. She is committed to supporting fellow bereaved parents in their journeys while working toward reducing pregnancy and infant loss through support and education so that fewer families have to live this same experience. Anna achieves this work through the nonprofit she founded, Gifts from Liam. Diaper need is a growing issue in the US, with half of all babies lacking sufficient diapers to stay clean, dry and healthy. Gifts from Liam’s diaper assistance programs are a cornerstone of the organization’s work. Gifts from Liam is hosting its annual Diaper Drive & Fundraiser between September 17th and 30th, 2023.WAYS TO HELP: Donate diapers from their Amazon Wishlist.
