Blossom Birth, a Palo Alto non-profit that provides resources for pregnancy, birth and parenthood, has nominated for a Chase Community Giving grant, which could provide the organization with between $10,0000 - $250,000 to continue its work.
One of Blossom's services, its Postpartum Moods Challenges weekly support group, takes about $10,000 per year to keep it running, according to Elena Battles, a member of Blossom’s Board of Directors. In a prepared statement, Battles said, “Research shows that “baby blues” can affect 80% of new mothers in the first few weeks after giving birth, while postpartum depression can affect as many as 1 in 5 mothers.”
