Mother’s Day is May 9th. Say I love you to Mom and help a mother out at the same time! Our Mother’s Day card is here, designed by our friends at Elias Smiles. Donate to our campaign to bring diapers to needy moms and we’ll send you a swell card for your honoree.

A year ago, I knew nothing about the need for diapers. Frankly, I’m still learning about the true need and how it affects individuals on a daily basis. Being very fortunate myself in life it is often times hard to wrap my head around. For the past 15 years I’ve always wanted to “help out” in some way….you know “give back” because I have been fortunate and lucky. As I would approach things or start to investigate volunteer opportunities here and there I would become overwhelmed and always had that nagging feeling that this particular thing isn’t going to “really” make a difference. Realistically I do know that every little bit helps, no matter how small. This was just an excuse to put it off a little longer. Frankly it was fear. Fear is our worst enemy. It holds us back from trying new things, from living, from taking those leaps that make life more exciting.

Can you imagine not having enough diapers for your baby? Did you know that diapers are not covered under safety net programs like food stamps or WIC? For many families in crisis this can mean being forced to choose between affording other basic human needs — shelter, food, medicine, or diapers. This year Mother’s Day is on May 9th. We’ll be celebrating the entire month of May both by raising diapers and awareness of this basic human need. Won’t you join us in helping a mother out?
