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.

Nina and friends told me story about a mom that usually comes to them on Mondays. She has a young child, as well as a 6 month old baby boy. Because she believes that larger sized diapers hold more, and therefore, are cheaper in cost, she puts the baby boy in size 5, even though he really fits a size 3. The baby is six months old and is still wearing newborn clothes, because the mothers doesn’t have bigger clothes for him to wear. So his clothes are too tight, and he stays in the Size 5 diaper longer than he probably should.
