This Broke My Heart

From Illinois:
“I am an early childhood teacher for children with special needs. I have a student in desperate need of large size diapers or pull-ups. We have asked the family for over a year to send in diapers for us to use and because they are of a low income, they do not send any in. When they do, they are extremely small. This child always has diaper rash that is so bad it bleeds. We have exhausted all of our extras left over from other students and don’t know what else to do …”
Trying to connect the sender with local resources. Will let you know if successful.
This sort of thing makes me want to cry, scream and curse all in one.
Lisa – If there are in/near Chicago, we can help…
Bob
Are they near Champaign/Urbana? There are resources available here!
Thanks Ann. Can you post a link to those resources here? We’re working with two of ILs diaper banks to help this child. Thanks!
Diapers are on their way to the teacher mentioned above. Thanks to our generous donors for making it possible to help.
Bob, THANK YOU!
