Fees

Dragonflies for Ruby relies solely on volunteers, fundraising, and other charitable contributions to provide support and services to families enduring pregnancy and infant loss. While payment is not required for you to receive support, it is highly encouraged to keep us sustainable. Each birth Dragonflies for Ruby doulas attend costs between $300 and $600 due to hospital parking fees, mementos, photograph printing, insurance and liability coverage, childcare for the doula, administrative costs (such as website and marketing), aftercare to support such as breast pumps or lactation suppression items) and other supplies.

In order to continue to provide services at NO COST to families, Dragonflies for Ruby relies on support from others. We thank you for providing financially to Dragonflies for Ruby. Click here for payment of services or to contribute to this ministry.
