Taking to Instagram to make her plans for the occasion known, Heather uploaded a one-minute video to Instagram. She wore a pink beaded jacket over a white top and sat on a chair as she began:
“So most of you know that I’m expecting a baby boy, and it’s one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had in my entire life.”
The “Selling Sunset” star revealed that while she’s “lucky” to “have incredible doctors and hospital resources,” not every expectant mother has access to “the same resources that I have or other women out there.”
Heather then claimed that she “recently heard the pretty crazy fact that a woman dies every two minutes around the world from complications during childbirth,” which prompted her to start this campaign.
The 35-year-old went on to say that reading the statistics “breaks” his heart, especially as the 2023 end date approaches. To help the conversation along, the reality star explained that First Response plans to continue supporting Every Mother Counts and its mission to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for “every woman everywhere in the world.”
To that end, the organization will match every dollar donated up to $25,000 for 2022 Giving Tuesday. Heather stated that since women dying in childbirth are preventable, she would love it if everyone worked together to “bring awareness to maternal health,” either by donating or sharing her video. Heather further emphasized her point in the caption, writing:
“Every dollar donated until Tuesday, November 29, 2022 11:59 PM PST will be matched by First Response, up to $25,000, so you can double the impact of your donation. No need to buy. Because this is very dear to me especially pregnant with my baby boy.”
Although it has received many likes, the video has received mixed reactions, with some fans praising it for “talking about an amazing cause,” and others wondering why people need to be paid before talking about this project.
As for Giving Tuesday, it is an annual event that encourages people from all over the world to give by donating money or volunteering for causes that help the community. It is usually marked on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which is the last Tuesday in November, or the first in December.
Giving Tuesday allows nonprofits to highlight their mission, seek donations and gain new supporters. The day’s importance was reinforced after nonprofits in the United States estimated $2.7 billion from their various — and equally important — campaigns.
The event was started by the ’92nd Street Y’ — a non-profit organization established in the 70s as part of a United Nations Foundation partnership— in 2012. The annual event has continued to grow since then, gaining recognition in 80 countries worldwide .

The Blast previously reported that Farrah Abraham joined celebrities to highlight a cause she believes in for Giving Tuesday. For the writer, it feels like the right time to ask for support for victims of sexual assault.
To achieve that, the “Teen Mom” alumna shared a message from ‘RAINN’ — an outfit helping victims of attacks — with her three million followers. Using a long statement to relate why he considers it an important cause, he begins:
“WHY? The resources needed to get your life back mentally, physically after being hit hurts someone to their core, affects family, work, friends and destroys that person.”
“Rebuilding assault victims is no small task and the more we can do to help, even as survivors, not victims anymore help us all overcome triggers, abuse and rape culture! Consent Culture Support is here stronger and stronger than ever!” Fans reacted positively to the announcement, earning praise from Abraham.
