Hey there friends, families, supporters of 👋🏼!
Maddy (founder) here!
It’s been a while since I showed myself, so I thought I’d pop in.
I (with the board of directors) founded this organization three years ago during the first stretch of Covid-19. Before the transition to a nonprofit, I spent two years of trial and error learning the ins and outs of cloth diapers, effective diaper materials, washing methods and chemicals, and a creating modern service that fits the modern lifestyle (from the ground up).
The transition to a nonprofit was an important effort, because I firmly believe diapers should never be one of the long list of stressors for a parent (99 problems - diapers ain’t one. That’s my motto), and at the time, diapers were FLYING off shelves and the certainties of life were everything but clear. Now, we continue our efforts because diaper need is far from removed from our society.
We solve the diaper need crisis through three different programs, but the most important program to me is the diaper support program, because it provides a permanent and sustainable solution to diaper need (the last thing a tired parent wants to do is ask for help over and over and over for the same thing… it’s demoralizing and a hard hit to esteem, if you ask me).
With our diaper support program alone, we help save over $3,000 per baby, which is SO huge (consider yourself privileged if you don’t think so).
My passion for helping put control (and money) back into the hands of families is the only reason this organization is still running (plus a lot of life preservers when we need them most, and some amazing operational support).
The number of small businesses that have closed their doors this year is staggering, and we aren’t far from following in those footsteps. I’m a busy, working mom of a growing family, and funding has been harder and harder to come by.
We have some AMAZING partnerships in the works that I believe will be our lifeline to surviving these tough times. Until then, please be patient with us and our team. We are working at capacity, and some of us are running off passion alone.
Thanks for reading and supporting! Stay tuned 🤗
