Our desire is to support Black Maternal Health by providing postpartum care to mothers in need.

The Arika Trim Foundation was birthed out of the tragic loss of Arika Trim just 7 days postpartum.

Our mission is to provide a variety of resources to mothers to help them navigate taking care of themselves after leaving the hospital.
