Funds for ppcm-Heart moms

💼 Support Fund Policy

The Support Fund Challenge exists to provide emergency relief to PPCM survivors who need help with essentials — food, medicine, child care, bills, or personal support during tough times. Our goal is to offer real help without judgment while protecting the fund from being depleted unfairly.

🛑 Why We Have a Policy
Because this fund is survivor-led and donation-based, we must ensure:

It's not taken advantage of

It’s available for as many moms as possible

Those who help build it also benefit from it

✅ Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to apply for funds, a survivor must meet one of the following within the last 7 months:

1. Made a donation (any amount — even $1)

2. Brought in a donor (used the donation script or link)

3. Shared a PPCM post promoting awareness

4. Volunteered or offered services (graphic, writing, outreach, etc.)

5. Hosted or supported a fundraiser for the fund

📌 We believe everyone has something to offer — money, time, or voice. This helps keep the fund growing so we can keep helping.

⏳ Request Limits
💵 Maximum request: $250

📅 One request allowed every 7 months

🔁 Lifetime limit: $600 (for now — subject to change as the fund grows)

📄 Request Process
1. Fill out the Support Fund Request Form (below)

2. Include how you've contributed or supported the fund

3. A trusted review group (made up of survivors) will respond within 7–10 days

4. Approved requests will be sent as:
A gift card, payment to a vendor, or direct item (whenever possible)

*Rarely as a direct transfer, unless no other option*

❤️ What It Can Be Used For
✔️ Groceries or food
✔️ Medicine, co-pays, or mental health support
✔️ Utilities or emergency bills
✔️ Baby items or child care costs
✔️ Personal recovery/wellness support
❌ Not for: luxury items, vacations, or regular rent/mortgage support

Apply For Support

Share it with another mom, or reach out for help today. 

🔐 Protecting Privacy

Only the fund team will review your request. We do not share personal situations without your written permission.


🫱🏽‍🫲🏿 Building the Fund Together

Here’s how you can help keep the pot full for the next mama:


  • Share our awareness post on social media


  • Show support by donating any amount: Support Group Funds
     
  • Use our Donation Script with family or friends
     
  • Set up a birthday fundraiser to benefit the Support Fund
     
  • Volunteer time or skills  — we always need help!
     

📌 Important Notes

  • This is a community pot, not a government or corporate fund.
     
  • The availability of funds depends entirely on how much has been donated.
     
  • We believe in compassion with accountability — so we keep records to protect the group.
