While reading this month's edition of Today's Parent, I stumbled upon a sad but true little blurb that 1 in 3 families struggle to afford diapers for their babies. They forfeit their other bills including food and heat to afford them. And, there are many babies forced to sit in dirty diapers for extended periods of time or wear diapers that Moms have cleaned out to reuse again. It made me cringe with sadness. At first I thought, why not reusable diapers then?? But, with further investigation into it I found that without access to their own laundry machines, they are not able to choose reusable diapers because laundromats don't allow them to be washed in their machines for sanitary reasons.
And so, seeing that our diaper brand, Huggies, has created a mission to donate 22.5 million diapers to babies in need over the next 8 months, Wee Man and I had to help out. Did you know that you can drop off new diapers to your Samaritan House or Food Bank that you don't need or your babe has outgrown?? Immediately we gathered all the diapers that Wee Man outgrew before we used them and headed on down to our local Samaritan House. Please visit Every Little Bottom for more information on how you can help too!
