"I am so happy and blessed. Thank you
for finding a doula in our area. Our baby was born after
almost 24 hours of labor. Thanks to our doula who was
there all the way, my wife did not go through this
difficult moment alone. She has been blessed by our
doula. Our doula is an angel. We now enjoy the gift
of a new baby. I really need to commend our doula
for being there for so many hours and following up with
appointments. I do not know how to repay this job. I have
peace of mind and I really appreciate all her dedication
and you for coordinating this great event. Thank
you. God bless you."
"I just want to take a minute of time to say
a HUGE THANK YOU for providing the doula service to our
military families. I had my first child back in 1997 - my
husband was deployed in the Middle East and I was alone in a
new city knowing no one. So I went thru the pregnancy,
labor, delivery, birth and homecoming alone. Just the
thought of your generous organization helping someone during
such a great time of need and sparing them the awful alone
feeling that I had ... well, it brings tears to my eyes and
an unspeakable joy to my heart. THANK YOU. May you and every
one of the doulas working on behalf of our military families
be blessed abundantly now and always."
"My husband and I are both members of the
Armed Forces. During our combined 12 years of service we
have seen many considerate gestures and received thanks in
many different ways. Operation Special Delivery would have
to be of the most gracious I have ever seen. I thank you for
realizing that the military wives are also in great need of
support and your willingness to offer that. We salute you."
"I just found out about your service and
think it is amazing. It is very tough to be a military wife,
let alone go through pregnancy and childbirth without your
husband's support. Just knowing that there is an option to
going through labor alone is so calming. I know it helps
many wives put one fear behind us as we face so many others
on a day-to-day basis!...Again, thank you from the bottom of
my heart and so many other military wives in my situation."
"I saw a message on a military families
board that I visit that your organization is offering free
doula services to woman whose husbands or partners have been
called or will be called to duty and unable to attend the
birth of their child. As a Navy wife who had a baby just two
weeks ago I want to thank you...there will be literally
hundreds of ladies who might not have (labor support) with
two battle groups out now plus the military members from the
other branches."
"What a wonderful and compassionate idea!!
This is a service that will really be appreciated by these
women and will also ease the minds of their absent spouses.
Thank you Doulas!!!"
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU on behalf
of all military wives for offering your services to those
whose husbands are away right now. From the bottom of my
heart, I thank you!"
"I have just been reading your website and
I want to thank you for all you do, although I personally
will never need your service, I have often wondered what I
could do to help wives of servicemembers deployed..."
"I am a military wife and I want to thank
you for having this program...How do you become a Doula?...I
would be interested in helping others."
