"Hi, my name is Barbara and I am the mother of 4 kids, 2 of which are
still in diapers. Jamara is 22 mos. and Joel is 8 mos. I have been here at the mission for
4 mos. I'm now working and have to play catch up with old bills and new ones. I would like
to thank you for your diaper donation–it couldn't have come at a better time. As a single
mother being unable to buy diapers during times I feel very happy and grateful to be relieved
of diaper expenses for the month. May God bless you."

"LA Diaper Drive allows us to meet one of the many needs of our families with infants
and young children. In donating over 70,000 diapers in the last year, they made a remarkable
difference in the lives of approximately 800 homeless and teen parent families. Thank you for
touching the lives of so many."
-LA Unified School District Homeless Education
"Thank you LA Diaper Drive for being so supportive of the efforts of the Richie-Madden Children’s
Foundation and helping so many mothers and babies in need."
-Nicole Richie, Richie-Madden Children's Foundation
"I can’t thank you enough for the diapers. Buying diapers for two is very costly and sometimes I
don’t have the money for them. So thank you from the bottom of my heart."
-Rosaly
"The service you provide to the community is truly a blessing. LA Diaper Drive is a gift to
non-profits who are struggling to meet the needs of their clients. Thank you."
-Black Infant Health
"LA Diaper Drive has enabled us to distribute disapers to over 200 homeless and domestic violence
shelters. Many of the families that we serve are struggling to eat and find shelter. A donation of diapers
helps them have the essentials they need for their children."
-Shelter Partnership
"Many of the families we serve have more than one child in diapers and rarely have enough to last the
month. It is a tremendous relief for these moms who so want to provide the basics for their children. One
of our clients has an 11-year old son with Down Syndrome and multiple medical issues who needs size 6 diapers.
She receives 8 small packs through the regional center but he uses 1 pack a day. She told me that sometimes
they just don't have any money for the diapers and her son wets himself. Then his classmates complain that
he smells bad and don't want to play with him. He suffers shame and isolation because his mom can't afford
to buy the diapers he needs. With the help of LA Diaper Drive, we are able to supplement her with extra packs
of diapers she so desperately needs."
-Maternal and Child Health Access
"Getting these diapers helps me make ends meet. I thank all of the organizations and donors who have been
responsible for providing us with services. Please continue funding programs like this one -- it makes all the difference."
-Diaper Recipient, Catholic Charities
"I changed my work schedule so I could go to the parenting classes to get the diapers. Thanks for the much needed help."
-Diaper Recipient, Catholic Charities
"We are so grateful to LA Diaper Drive for being able to help our clients meet their children’s basic needs. The
families truly appreciate the help and the diapers enable us to assist families even more in helping them to make ends meet."
-Project SAFE
"There are several single mothers with children who still use diapers so this program has been a blessing to them since
it has helped them use the money that they would have used in diapers elsewhere."
-Catholic Charities
