Sidelines National Support Network  / Volunteer  / How will a volunteer help?

How do our volunteers support you?

The volunteer you are matched with will support you by phone calls or emails during the remainder of your pregnancy. 

Our volunteers offer unique emotional support and understanding to women and their families experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. We do not give medical advice.  We encourage compliance with Dr.'s orders and that medical questions be answered by their health care provider.   We are confidential,empathetic and dedicated!

                                                                                                                              
Please go to our Contact Sidelines  page to contact a local Sidelines coordinator for phone support, follow a link to fill out a form for email support  (link) or to contact our national office.

Thank-you letters!

Sidelines volunteers are only an email away day or night! Here are a few of the many thank-you notes (and pictures) we receive from Moms who were supported by our Email Volunteers

Does it cost anything?

No!  We are a non-profit organization supported by some wonderful organizations, and individuals who fund us through grants for chapter operations in various communities.  Funding from the March of Dimes, committed companies like Matria Health Care, Cigna, and Biex, Inc. helps pay for our educational materials, magazine, and enormous phone bills.

We survive totally on these contributions, and on those of mothers and families who believe in what we do, and give what they can. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to help continue our support system please go to our donations  page.

Not ready for a volunteer, but need some information?

If you would prefer to start by receiving our Left Sidelines Magazine which includes our great artcles, information as well as high risk pregnancy tips, and link up with a volunteer later, tell us. We're here to support you with what's best for you.
