We work to reduce these deaths of expecting mothers due to complications from pregnancy and childbirth. Our organization collects and ships medical supplies from the United States to clinics and hospitals in need, in hopes that we can help decrease maternal mortality and morbidity. These supplies assist in promoting safer pregnancies and births. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62338540d1b151265e63f8aa/1649173774687-KI85T1LDVOBW9PPQS9BF/unsplash-image-pV5arhEZHiA.jpg About Us - How We Help The United States throws away several billion pounds of medical supplies each year. In this trash, there are many unused, disposable supplies such as clamps, sutures, gloves, surgical instruments and syringes that are in great condition. We take these supplies that would otherwise be thrown away and make sure they are delivered to clinics and maternity wards in the effort to reduce maternal mortality. https://delivering-hope.com/team daily 0.75 2023-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62338540d1b151265e63f8aa/5d588dae-41e7-4595-ad51-551430011caf/Katie+Headshot.jpg Our Team - Katie McClain Chief Executive Officer Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
