With the help of diapers, I am able to use the little money I have on food and other important necessities for my kids.”

“It has helped a lot because sometimes we don’t have the money.  It’s a life
saver!  One less thing to worry about.”

“I can’t thank you enough for the help, to some people it might be just diapers, but to me is being able to not just get by month by month. I am an ambitious woman. I work hard to provide a good future for my children, and any help I can get is always much appreciated.”

“Help a Mother Out is exactly the kind of grassroots organization that Brighter Beginnings appreciates. We are pleased to have been chosen as a partner agency in this effective campaign to connect caring people with moms and dads who are working hard to use the few resources they have to raise happy, healthy children. HAMO’s generous gifts of diapers and other baby supplies came at just the right time to help our organization make up for cuts in our budget for client services.”

Jody Parsons, Director of Development, Brighter Beginnings

“I absolutely love the concept you created for Help A Mother Out. The website is wonderful, not only bringing awareness to family poverty, but also giving people the opportunity to take action and connect with nonprofit organizations. This type of support is much needed, especially during the difficult economic times we are currently facing.

We are seeing more and more families coming to HPP for their basic needs for survival – food, clothing, and shelter. We are hearing families being forced to make difficult decisions, choosing whether to buy food or diapers for their children. Having these essential needs for our clients here on site, makes these decisions much easier for our families, so they can focus on finding stability and move toward long-term self-sufficiency.”

“The Help A Mother Out campaign is exactly the kind of grassroots effort that is needed today. Social networking in service of supporting mothers in need is a fabulous idea. Through innovation and utilizing the free tools the internet has to offer, HAMO has made a big difference the lives of many women and children, and in such a short period of time.”

“With the Tsunami of families facing homelessness, over 1/2 for the first time in their lives, has come a tremendous increase in the number of babies living in shelters. I want to commend the caring folks from Help A Mother Out for providing much needed diapers for these precious babies.”

“As we endure the worst economic plunge since the Great Depression and the unemployment rate soars past 12.7% across the region, we are bracing to support a surge in the number of homeless families, possibly rising to 10,000 homeless families in LA County alone.”
