For anyone with diapers they don't want/need or for anyone low income needing diapers you can apply or donate to Miracle Diapers - either actual dipes, wraps and slings or finances to support her efforts (washing, drying, packaging, repairs etc). http://www.miraclediapers.com/default.php

Ruth is a friend of mine, watches Ava all the time and Katie/Lakshmi_mama also knows her. I trust her completely. I've seen the diapers she's been sending out, I know this is one way for her to "give back" for all the grace in her life and help she's received at times. She's an AP Christian homeschooling mama and working toward becoming a doula, and her dh is attending seminary school here in Portland.

Just talked to Ruth, she's been swamped with mamas applying for dipes and has been working hard to get things out so her availability with email has been spotty. She's catching up though, so if you haven't heard back from her within the week please try again. :)

Cool site I have some cloth diapers that i can donate do I just email her?

Yes, she will be thrilled! Tell her I sent you! :)

Wow! That's awesome! Thanks for the link, Amy! :)

:happy:

What an awesome woman she is! I would've loved to have something like that around when DD was an infant. I will be sure to send off all of DD's diapers to her. After she gets through her new bedwetting issues (she has been potty learned since 16-18 months of age).

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: For Ruth and Miracle Diapers!!

Thanks for posting this, Amy! I posted it when she started and I think that some mamas here have been generous and have also benefitted from her efforts. Ruth is one in a million. I sewed a couple dozen prefolds and tons of wipes for her during the last stash game. I am so thrilled knowing that they will go to a good home and be appreciated. And passed on. That is important to me.

What an amazing project to take on! I am going to look through and see what diapers I have left.

Oh, I've sent stuff to them and it's such a GREAT feeling to kiss those dipes goodbye knowing they will soon be a sweet new bottom!

I wonder if she'd be at all interested in adding a sling section? Many mamas have or make slings and there are many mamas out there who might need one to keep their little ones close.

Nancy that's a great idea! I'll suggest it to her. :)

Thanks for supporting her mamas!

I just mailed Ruth all my dipes. It does Feel Great sending them to her and the families.
I have a sling too, that never worked for me and addison. So if she's interested...I have it.
thanx,

I have some good condition AIOs I could send, (dd uses the potty and I've sold off everything else) but to be honest, I can't afford the shipping right now.

I would bet I have anywhere from 5-20... I think mostly size medium.

Does she do ffs? Anyone know? I really don't mind donating, but maybe I should wait until I can ship them?

I just emailed her about shipping. I have tons to donate and can't afford shipping right now either.

Let me know what you find out please Gwen.

Ruth has been sick, but I just talked to her and she actually has been thinking about expanding to include slings! So send them on over! :)

Thanks for letting us know that. She emailed me her address but forgot her zip--I wanted to get a package out to her--do you happen to know it? TIA! :)

do these have to be in really good shape, or is slightly dingy but functional ok as well??
great idea!

from her FAQ page:

"I want to donate, but don't have much money, is there anyway that you can send me the money for shipping?

Absolutely! Just let me know how much, and if you prefer a check or paypal."

97213 would be my guess on the zip. You can also look it up at USPS.com with the street and city address.

Slings and dipes can be in functional condition, she can do repairs and if people are getting free use of these items then a bit dingy shouldn't be a real problem. kwim?

Thanks for supporting her work mamas!

Bumpin up! Edited title to include SLINGS! :happy:

I have about 10-15 Happy Heiny's/Luke Drawer's and others that I can send to her but I don't have the shipping $$ right now :( I would love to help out another low income family seeing as though I am in there same position. I will have to save her address and when I start working again (which I hope is soon) ship them out.

Bumping because I was searching to find this website. Might as well give her a bump as well.

How wonderfull :)
Giving this a BUMP!

i have some i can send too! will email her.

nak

I have 2 pouch type slings if she could use those - definitely nothing special but I have no use for them.

Bumping this up, I think it's a great thing!

nevermind, got it :)
