IMPROVE A CHILD’S (AND PARENT’S) LIFE TODAY
All of us can change the lives of families across the region struggling to provide clean, dry diapers for their infants and toddlers.
Babies for Bottoms is a lifesaver. I am a single mother who works a full time job, and goes to school. I am raising a 9 and 2 year old and sometimes the money has to be stretched really far. I was down to 1 diaper and after searching under every rock I found babies for bottoms, and they were right there to help. They even made it possible for me to get diapers immediately.
Thank You to every one on the Babies for bottoms team. My children, and I are truly appreciative of your help.
