LetsTalkPPCM: Empowering Communities

---

LetsTalkPPCM exists to amplify the voices of mothers affected by Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM), provide education and awareness, and bridge the gap between patients and medical professionals to improve outcomes and save lives.

This year has been one of meaningful impact, community building, and continued advocacy. Through survivor-led efforts, storytelling, and education, we have expanded our reach and deepened our commitment to mothers and families navigating PPCM.

Through our Hope & Healing Fund, we were able to directly support PPCM mothers in need. These efforts provided emotional relief, encouragement, and tangible assistance during some of their most difficult moments.

• Gifted support packages to PPCM mothers
• Created safe spaces for connection and shared experiences
• Continued peer-to-peer encouragement through our growing community

Education remains at the heart of what we do. We hosted workshops, webinars, and awareness campaigns to ensure both the public and medical professionals better understand PPCM.

• Hosted educational sessions and webinars
• Partnered with advocates and speakers with lived experience
• Increased awareness through storytelling and digital outreach

We strengthened relationships with healthcare professionals and organizations to ensure patient voices are heard where it matters most.

• Collaborated with medical staff and advocates
• Participated in discussions focused on maternal health and PPCM
• Continued outreach to improve early detection and response

Storytelling is one of our most powerful tools. This year, we leaned into media and creative storytelling to bring visibility to PPCM.

• Developed survivor-led content and awareness videos
• Amplified real stories to educate and inspire
• Began expanding into film and digital storytelling initiatives

This year, grant funding allowed us to expand our reach and provide free educational opportunities to the community.

• Supported the development of workshops and webinars
• Increased accessibility to PPCM education
• Helped sustain and grow our programs

Everything we do is rooted in lived experience. Survivors are not just part of the conversation, they lead it. Their voices bring truth, urgency, and connection that drives real change.

As we move forward, LetsTalkPPCM is focused on:

• Expanding national awareness of PPCM
• Increasing partnerships with healthcare systems
• Growing our media and storytelling initiatives
• Providing more direct support to mothers in need

We remain committed to ensuring no mother feels unseen, unheard, or alone in her journey.

To every supporter, donor, advocate, and survivor, thank you. Your belief in this mission fuels everything we do. Together, we are creating awareness, saving lives, and changing the narrative around PPCM.
