#490 Urgent help needed

Request: Donations / Gifts / Kind Messages

This week’s request is a simple but urgent one! Last week, Mama to Mama baby bank (who you have helped in the past with moses baskets and slings) had a massive flood in their warehouse. The team are all devastated. They have lost thousands of pounds worth of stock and have been in clean up mode for days.

They are sorting out what their insurance will cover, but in the meantime they are short of essential items that families are waiting for. Many of the items ruined were bigger items that were on the floor - cots, beds, prams and highchairs. They were all ready to be delivered for children who needed them, but now they've had to be thrown away. We’d love to replenish some of their essential items so they can keep doing what they do best. 

It’s times like these that remind us how vital it is for small charities to lift each other up – we’re stronger together
