Etta & Be.

A Holistic Motherhood Village

Providing faith-based maternal support for new & expectant mothers

Our Mission:

Our goal is to empower new & expectant moms across the United States by donating 100 Postpartum Recovery & Self-Care boxes by the end of 2026

What's in a box?

Each Etta and Be. postpartum recovery box is thoughtfully curated with the new mama in mind; the one who just did something incredible and deserves to be taken care of too.

Every box includes items to support her body, her rest, and her spirit during those early weeks of recovery, including:

  • Perineal care essentials — because healing takes time

  • Soothing comfort items — warm, soft, and made for rest

  • Nourishing snacks — fuel for tired, hardworking mamas

  • Wellness and self-care products — for mind, body, and spirit

  • Postpartum resources — so she knows where to turn when she needs support

Each box carries a retail value of over $275 and every single one is donated to a mother in need, completely free of charge.

Your donation helps us put one of these boxes in the hands of a mother who needs it most.

Our Vision:

Creating a village that understands every mother deserves to be held while she's holding everyone else. One box, one mama, one community at a time.

Donate

Someone out there is navigating the hardest and most beautiful season of her life.

Your donation makes sure she doesn't do it alone.

About us

"Some things are built from love, and some are built from necessity, Etta and Be. is both. Named after my grandmothers Joetta and Bernice, and shaped by my own postpartum experience as a mother of two, this nonprofit organization is my commitment to making sure every new mama feels cared for, supported, and never forgotten in any season of motherhood." - Tk Maye, Founder
