It really does take a village to raise a child and lately, I’ve come to understand the weight of those words a little differently.Having a baby at home has made me so much more aware of just how much care a little person needs. I’ve seen how much love, patience, energy and support it takes to care for a baby even within a home where there are helping hands and resources available. It has made me think deeply about the people who extend that same tenderness to babies who are not their own, often caring for several little ones at once and doing the very best they can with limited resources.We speak openly about how overwhelming motherhood can be, about sleepless nights, exhaustion, postpartum struggles and the importance of mothers having a village around them. And it made me question: who pours into the people who have chosen to become that village for abandoned children?That question is at the heart of this initiative.This time, we are extending our hands to Angels Baby, supporting both the little lives in their care and the people who wake up every day to feed them, change them, comfort them, hold them and love them.We’re collecting baby toiletries, baby food, baby clothes and monetary donations to help make that responsibility just a little lighter.
Because sometimes caring for little hands & hearts also means caring for the hands that hold them.
