What is Shelane's Fund?
Shelane’s Fund provides grants up to $500 to help new mothers and families overcome postpartum depression and other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
Funding can be used to cover expenses such as appointments with a therapist or psychiatrist or other birth / postpartum professional.
This fund was created in honor of Shelane Gaydos, a mother of three girls who tragically ended her life while in the grips of severe postpartum depression.
To see if you are eligible to receive Shelane’s Funds, please connect with a Care Coordinator.
In 2022 PSVa awarded 50 microgrants in the amount of $18,250.00. This year – in just six months, we have already awarded 65 grants — totaling almost $16,000!
Shelane’s Fund is dangerously low, and we need your support today to continue to provide lifesaving financial assistance for mental health care.
