warm hug care packages- update, i need your help!

hi

at the beginning of the year, i set up a program that would not only gift moms in need, but would also provide work for local stay at home moms,
and provide funding for project warm hug.

to meet our annual budget of $36,000.
1000 warm hug care packages need to be sponsored.
this is 250 per quarter.
so far in quarter #1= only 27 have been sponsored.
this means between now and march 31st,
223 packages need to be sponsored!!!

each package will either contain-
a warm flannel receiving blanket made by a local mom,
a dozen diapers, and some wipes.
and a fleece stroller blanket.

or

a book bag made by a local mom.
filled with books to read to her kids.
a dozen diapers and some wipes
and a chocolate bunny!

you can choose either or both!
go to paypal.com for payment
and note in how many of each packages
you want to sponsor.

greeting.

finally i have a moment to sit here and write up an update. i wonder just how so much time can go by, so quickly. i believe it is called mommy-warp-speed.

since the beginning of the year,

the following groups have started diaper drives for us!:
cubes and crayons, menlo park
the children and family institute, menlo park

i picked up these donations the other day. the kids had brought items from home, folded them up and put a little paper heart in each pocket.
this is the third year that bonnie hosts a "diaper and clothing" drive for us. each year she teaches her kids that not everyone is as fortunate as they are, and that those who can share, need to share with others. each year, her kids are so proud of their bags of donations. these kids are 3-4 years old.
