A Little Thank You Goes A Long Way!
I received this touching thank you letter from Isa Mundo:
"Dear April,
We received your very generous contribution of diaper pins to include in the
packages we make up for needy newborns at Guadalajara's public hospital.
These moms are some of the inner city's poorest women and need all the help
they can get. The hospital also serves women from the surrounding country
pueblos and in many cases the girls have had no pre-natal care during their
pregnancy.
The packets that we distribute to these babies include cloth diapers and the
pins needed. However, they are so hard to find in Mexico, the US, and in
Canada. You can't imagine what a boon it is for us to have so many of them.
Other items in the package are are a blanket, sleeper, booties, and cap for
the baby. Mom receives panties and socks because when she's admitted she
has to give all her clothing to the family member that came with her.
Consequently, they walk around in nothing more than a hospital gown. Can
you imagine walking on tile floors while carrying your baby to the water
fountain in the corridor? This is no-frills hospitalization.
The attached photos will show you the delight in the moms' faces when they
receive the new articles for their little ones. How I wish you could come
with us when we visit the hospital...you'd see how important your donation
is to so many.
On behalf of the Junior Service League of Guadalajara and the city's
grateful mothers we extend you a great big hug of thanks...or as we say
here in Mexico.......
Gracias April,
Elena Cooper"Labels: diapers, family
