Helping another Mom and Needs from Facebook Post

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little update from one of the families you all came together to support and also provide another way to help.
This mom was so incredibly grateful, and I had the chance to meet her sweet little boy in person. We’ve also been able to connect her with support to help cover her past due rent, utilities, and legal fees. I’m also working on connecting her with a lawyer who is willing to take a look at her partner’s case.
I just want to say thank you, truly. Every single donation matters more than you know. This mom needed extra tube feeding supplies for her child, and someone in this community stepped up right away to provide them. What felt like an impossible need to meet was met so quickly because of all of you. This is what showing up for each other looks like.
I’ve attached a few photos of the donations we were able to get to her and her son.
I also wanted to reach out because we have another family we’re hoping to support. This mom lives in one of the communities we have supported over the last few months, and I would really love for us to show up for her in a more specific, tangible way right now.
If you have any of the following items or are able to donate, please let me know. I’ll also use any remaining funds to help fill in any gaps.
I know so many of us have clothes our kids have outgrown tucked away in storage, and I’m really hopeful we can meet this need for her together. Please send me a dm or comment if you can help!
