WHO: Team Fredericksburg is made up of local survivors of maternal mental health illnesses such as postpartum depression, anxiety and more, and the friends, family and community members who support them.

The global goal for Postpartum Progress' Climb Out of the Darkness is $200,000, and we are currently at $195,475, or 98% of that goal.
