My Sliding Scale
Clients may not have familial support or job security. Paying a higher fee would result in financial hardship for them. They may pay an hourly rate of 30 to 39 $/hour.
Amaryllis
Clients may be going back and forth about deciding whether or not they can afford a doula, they have the means to hire support with some sacrifice but not financial hardship. They may pay an hourly rate of 40 to 49 $/hour.
Poppy

Redistribution
If you would like to donate to fund a fellow’s doula care, you may do soon PayPal by donating to Banger BirthCare or @laalidoula. Any donations to this account will be used to cover the cost of doula care services for BIPOC or T/GNC people who cannot afford to pay an hourly rate.
“Reparations are long overdue and are a crucial tool in closing the racial wealth divide and healing from white supremacy. Reparations should not focus on individual acts, such as fundraisers but rather on institutional and systemic accountability. The term reparations is used predominantly as an acknowledgment of the immense intergenerational harm inflicted upon Indigenous and Black communities, and thus the repair that is due. Redistribution is a more general act relating to the current unjust distribution of wealth and our class system. Within the current economic system in which wealth generates more wealth and debt generates more debt, redistribution is an ongoing necessary practice to prevent further wealth accumulation.”
