Sasha Butler Capstone

My name is Sasha Butler, and I created a senior capstone project focusing on postpartum care for mothers and infants. Originally, I wanted to donate money to different NICU organizations in Philadelphia. Though my final capstone turned into me donating care kits to postpartum mothers. I reached out to numerous organizations that focused on postpartum care and offered my volunteer services, and I also worked with the ITAV foundation and directly gave them my postpartum care kits. I accounted for 80 hours of work by meeting with my mentor multiple times a week and planning. Some days, we documented my process on a Google doc, and some days we researched and made phone calls. Once I had everything planned, I created an Amazon registry to get some of the resources I needed, in addition to receiving donations from family members. I learned that helping people is what I am truly passionate about. I even began researching neonatology and postpartum outside of my capstone project because I want to pursue a career in those specific areas.
