Cloth Diaper Donations

Calling all cloth diaperers!

Austin Baby has been gearing up to start our cloth diaper donations to Austin families. We can’t wait! We will be donating 1 diaper for every 10 that are purchased through the store!

In the meantime, we have been contacted by Austin’s Peggy Browning who will be traveling to Ecuador to take cloth diapers to a children’s orphanage. Her contacts originally committing to donate a large number of cloth diapers have backed out, so she has been left empty-handed. If you have any cloth diapers not being used in *any condition*, she is happy to give them a new home where they will be used and much appreciated.

She leaves tomorrow, Thursday 7/3, so everything must be collected by noon tomorrow. We will have a box sitting out to make drop-offs easy, and Peggy will be sure that all donated diapers get to Peggy and to the orphanage. Below is an excerpt of Peggy’s cause: (and we'll have more on our local cloth diaper drive soon!)

Cloth diapers needed right away!

Help! The Ark Children's Homes in Riobamba, Equador have 20 infant to toddler children who are in need of cloth diapers and plastic pants. This children's home is a group of homes who take in children whom parents, doctors, and society have given up on. Here's one story of fifty to sixty current children in these homes:

About ten months ago 3 year old Juanito arrived from the hospital almost dead. His face was a purplish-grey, he couldn't walk, couldn't eat and couldn't lift his hand to his mouth to feed himself. He was severely malnourished, with puffy feet and lower legs, and an enormous belly. The rest of him was skin and bones. He'd been in the hospital 4 months and they'd done all they knew to do.

This Children's Home took him in, began to pray, took him to their doctor, put him in a private hospital, and got Juanito the help he needed.

To make along story short, Juanito is alive today, has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, and is being reunited with his family.

This Children's Home take in the "throw away" children.

Your cloth diaper donations will help this Children’s Home care for these children. Thank you for your generosity!
