The idea

Hi, I’m Jo, a mother of two small children. Becoming a mother was very hard for me, and the nights were very lonely.

I started this project to help mothers like me. I want to gather women to sing through the night on a livestream, so any mother who is awake can listen and know she isn’t alone.

The inspiration

In California, the Norbertine Sisters rise at midnight to pray for anyone in need, including mothers up with crying newborns. I read their story in The New York Times and wanted to offer something similar in song.

How it works

    Join the group

    I’m coordinating everything on WhatsApp.

  2. 2

    Choose your hours

    Sing whenever you can.

  3. 3

    Sing over the stream

    A mother somewhere hears you in the dark.

Will you sing with me?

You don’t need to be a professional. Just bring your voice and a few hours of your night.
