Happy holidays! I hope everyone is finding ways to partake in the Spirit of the Holidays. I personally love seeing all the Christmas lights around town.
As we wrap up another year I want to thank everyone who has supported The Beltane Guild. We have been able to award nine grants in two years and have made amazing progress on writing a new “gold standard” Family Planning Policy that will hopefully soon be adopted by fire departments around Washington State. Special thanks to Stephanie White of Fairfax County, VA, who’s policy was the foundation from which we built ours. I’d also like to thank the 20+ firefighters and our doctor friends at NDRI-USA who have participated in meetings to help shape our new policy. It is truly a reflection of many voices and covers topics such as pregnancy, miscarriage, fertility treatment, adoption and firefighter reproductive health.
As always, if you’re looking for a way to give back this year, your donation would be greatly appreciated. We still have firefighters standing by for grants and any amount helps to support them with the financial hardship of fertility treatment.
On behalf of The Beltane Guild, we wish you a happy holiday season and a fantastic 2022.
Maia Brown, President of The Beltane Guild
