Hello! My name is Anusha Kapoor, and I am a senior at The Ohio State University studying Biomedical Science with a minor in Spanish. Through my experiences in research, community service, and healthcare, I have become especially passionate about making health information accessible and helping people feel supported in making decisions about their health. That is why I am raising funds for Moms2B, a community-based pregnancy program at Ohio State that supports expectant mothers and their babies.

I first became involved with Moms2B through SmileChild, a maternal health education project at Ohio State. As a recruitment lead, I work with Moms2B to recruit participants and learn from expectant mothers about how they access and understand health information. Working directly with Moms2B participants showed me that providing health information is only one part of supporting someone's health. That information has to be understandable, approachable, and relevant to the person receiving it.

Moms2B creates that kind of support by bringing together education, healthcare professionals, and community resources for expectant mothers. Through weekly prenatal education sessions, mothers can learn about topics such as child development, labor and delivery, reproductive health, and safe sleep while also connecting with other mothers and healthcare professionals. Moms2B also helps address practical barriers by providing transportation assistance and supervised playtime. These resources can make it easier for mothers to participate in prenatal education and receive support throughout pregnancy.

I am raising funds for Moms2B because every mother and baby deserves the opportunity to have a healthy start. Your support can help Moms2B continue providing education, resources, and a supportive community to expectant mothers in Columbus. To me, supporting Moms2B means investing in healthier pregnancies, healthier babies, and a community where mothers have the support they need throughout their pregnancy. I hope you will join me in supporting this important work!
