In April’s newsletter, I was sad and I wrote: “We are not allowed to visit the babies at the birthing center at this time. So sad. Giving birth does not stop because of a virus.”
I am pleased to say that has changed. Late in April, a request came asking if we could somehow care for our newborns and their mamas.
We still were not allowed to visit the hospital, but the new mamas or a nurse came to the gate and we passed out the bag with essentials for the new baby and mama.
It is gratifying to know this service is appreciated and needed. Thanks, donors.

ChicoBags filled with goodies. These bags are ready and waiting. Babies and their mamas do need the service we provide.
The good news is -- and we thank God -- that as soon as some restrictions were lifted May 1, the Mama and Baby Project was up and running. We can now deliver the gift to the birthing center. Photos speak louder than words.
Mama, baby and gift bag.
This is Baby No. 14, born on the 14th day of May. It's a boy.
We were privileged to give layettes to precious twins. A boy and a girl.
