Diaper Drive

Did you know...

-A major source of stress for low-income women is lack of access to diapers (1).

-1 in 5 Canadian moms has struggled to provide her baby or small child with clean diapers (2).

-Moms who do not have access to clean diapers may keep babies in wet, dirty diapers for greater lengths of time, which can increase the chances of babies developing rashes and infections. These babies cry more (2).

 

Can you imagine not having enough clean diapers for your child?

 

The Knight's Table in Brampton is a food bank and soup kitchen serving people dealing with issues of poverty and homelessness. They have a great need for diapers for low-income moms.

 

My goal is to raise $1500 or as much as possible to buy diapers to donate to the Knight's Table, and help moms who cannot afford diapers. I will use 100% of the money to purchase diapers and deliver the needed sizes to the Knight's Table. I will cover the GoFundMe overhead so that literally every dollar you donate is spent on diapers.

 

We have until November 19! I hope you can help.
