“Empowering Resources for everyone.”
Mathew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
My Mission
My mission as a doula, educator, and activist is to help families embrace an abundant life. I give these families my time, my hands, my knowledge, my passion, and my heart. I believe in my work and I believe in its ability to make a difference. I also believe in the people that I serve. I believe that through their unique journeys they can come out stronger and closer to each other than before. Building strong families, to build strong communities, to build the kingdom of God.
I accepted the call into being a doula as a ministry. And because of that my services are income based or free. My hope is that no family has to choose to not have a doula or other important services like Childbirth education or breastfeeding education because they can’t afford it. I have helped many families who otherwise would have had no support or help. And I have been blessed to watch those lives changed!
Proverbs 31:8-9 “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
I believe that being low income or living in a disadvantaged location/situation shouldn’t keep you from services that bring you closer to God are life saving, or life Improving. I don’t believe God wants them to be at higher risk just because they have less resources.
Doulas all over the world are such wonderful care givers to their clients. There is a very large group that is not being properly accessed by many services including doula care! Some of these people are low income, teenagers, imprisoned mothers, homeless, impoverished, 3rd world country residents, and more.
I want to reach those people. The people that are falling through the cracks. Leaving the 100 behind to chase after the lost.
Psalm 34:6 “This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Consider donating an item to my Bereaved Families Kit
Serving families through the loss of a baby has many factors to it. Sometimes the loss happens early and at home and supplies are needed to tend to the baby’s body so that the family can have time with that loss.
Sometimes the loss happens in a hospital setting and when everything is cold and medical having some items to make the last moments feel more normal can be a comfort.
Sometimes the mother needs help drying up a milk supply, birth certificate when the loss happens “too early” for the government to count it as a birth.
These are just some of the ways that my Bereavement Kit can help me serve families.
Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Consider Donating to my Free Baby Item Cache for low income families!
Frequently I have the opportunity to donate to families in need. I have limited storage space (for now) so not all items can be accepted. Find a list of commonly helpful items below. If you have any questions or would like to donate any item that is not on the list please contact me.

Why is Your donation needed?
In 2019 I, the owner and sole operator of Voices of Eve: Birth Ministries, Abbey Barnosky made $4,325.50 and my average income since starting my ministry in 2016 is $4,362.36
This means that providing all the needs for my family is difficult. Tough choices are made daily to keep my ministry running.
But I am not quitting! I have worked tirelessly finding work on the side like house cleaning, babysitting, organizing, photography work, crafting, and more to make sure that my family is cared for and so are my low income families. The difficult part about constantly searching and working in side hustles is they take away from precious time serving in my ministry and serving my own family. And I want to give all I am.
I have had to do without sometimes. And I don’t say that to brag! Because I have done with more than I need more often than I should. But I am working on improving myself to be a better servant to my God, my family, and those I serve.
If you feel called to join me in my ministry or to donate please do so! I also hope you will do so in a way that I can truly and deeply thank you! I couldn’t do all I do without support from you
