Support Families in Need with Essential Items

Donation protected
My faith as a Catholic has always inspired me to help others in practical, meaningful ways. I believe that sometimes, answering Jesus’ call to serve simply means showing up with a pack of diapers for someone in need. That’s why I started this community-based mission: to support single moms, dads, and families who are facing hardships, financial difficulties, or even abuse, and who need help getting essential items to care for their children.

The inspiration for this mission came from Angela and our Respect Life ministry at Saint Joseph’s parish in Danville, PA. What began as a desire to walk alongside expectant mothers with their first essential item—diapers—quickly grew into a broader effort to help anyone experiencing uncertainty, financial hardship, or crisis. Whether it’s a single parent behind on bills, a family unsure of what comes next after learning they’re expecting, or someone experiencing abuse, our goal is to provide practical support and hope.

Recently, the need has grown dramatically. Just two days ago, we received over 100 requests for help, compared to only three the previous week. While we strive to provide a full month’s supply of diapers to every family who applies, our resources are limited. We do our best to give at least a few packs to each family, but with demand rising, we need your help more than ever. Your support will allow us to reach more families, provide essential items, and bring hope to those who need it most. Please consider donating or sharing our fundraiser—together, we can make a real difference for families in our community.
