We had a mom come in the other day who has a 4 year old son. She is in her forties and she was due to have another baby in April. Her husband, who had been traveling on and off over the years, came home and left her for another woman in July. She was laid off from her day job, and was unable to continue with her second job. She needed to be home in the evenings with her daughter since she is now a single parent. The house is being foreclosed on, and all of the baby items she had stored in a shed became rat infested. She came to us, alone and in tears, not knowing where to turn. We were able to give her items for the baby, including a diapers, clothing, a new car seat and a bassinet. She couldn't believe there were people whom she had never met who wanted to help her. And we simply said "That's why we are here!"
