Placenta Donation
Thank you for choosing placenta donation!
Your baby’s placenta played a vital and crucial role in growing a sweet little one. And now it can continue to do important work in training SAR dogs to reunite and bring closure to families who have loved ones who have gone missing or passed away.
The founder of this program, Camilla Rae, knows firsthand the importance of well-trained SAR dogs. In 2017, she lost a good childhood friend, Carlin Brightwell, in a hiking accident due to a flash flood. Stranded for days without the ability to communicate with the outside world, Carly and her partner, Ryan Marcil, tragically passed away in the harsh Colorado conditions. This tragedy inspired Camilla to learn more about Search & Rescue and the critical role that rescue dogs play in saving lives.
Through her research, Camilla discovered that one of the biggest barriers to training puppies is a lack of readily available human remains. But as a birth doula, she realized that every day, placentas are thrown away as biohazard waste without a second thought. That's where you and your donation come in. By donating your placenta, you are providing a necessary resource for SAR trainers to ensure that all of the SAR canines have the well-rounded skills needed to assist in various natural disasters and circumstances.
Your donation is a gift of life to families in need, and we are grateful for your support.
**We are only able to receive placentas in the Portland/Vancouver Metro Area.**
