Blanka McClammer became involved with Better BedRest in 1993, being instrumental in inviting the organization to share the information on the maternity unit. She has been a board member for the last 5+ years assisting in carrying out the mission of the organization.
Better Bedrest provides services to high risk pregnant women who have been placed on bed rest and are unable to pay some of their bills, as they are not working. They provide them with a grant up to $500 and pay their bills that are delinquent.
Survival of the organization depends on the generosity of various organizations and donations from individuals. Better Bedrest also hold several fundraisers each year to help raise money to give as many grants as possible to women.
