❣️ Imagine trying to get enough rest and care for yourself and your baby while constantly worrying about food and essentials, bills, or housing. This anxiety and stress can worsen mental health, and mental health struggles make it harder to deal with material insecurity, creating a cycle. 🌸 Leading up to and throughout Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month in May, we're exploring the complexities of the relationship between maternal well-being and material insecurity by sharing the experiences and expertise of experts who are working with mothers experiencing material insecurity. ❓🤚 Q& A with Maria Fernandez, Community Health Worker, Baltimore Medical System Q: Do mothers feel isolated or judged when they struggle to meet basic needs for themselves or their children? How does this impact their mental health? A: It’s heartbreaking to hear from healthcare providers about patients who don’t have the essentials for their babies, often because these mothers feel too ashamed or overwhelmed to speak up. When a mother is unable to care for her child's basic needs, it can lead to deep feelings of inadequacy and stress, impacting her overall well-being. It’s crucial that we offer support and understanding to these mothers, reminding them they are not alone in their struggles. Q: How do ShareBaby items help to relieve stress or anxiety for a mom? A: By saving money on essential baby items like clothing, diapers, and gear, these moms can redirect their finances toward critical expenses (rent, food, and other things). This alleviation of financial pressure can lead to a more stable living situation, which in turn reduces stress and helps create a more positive environment for both the mother and her children. Additionally, knowing that she has access to necessary items without straining her budget can help a mom feel more secure and supported, fostering a greater sense of well-being. ☀️ Need Support? The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is available 24/7—free and confidential. Whether you’re a new or expecting mom, partner, or family member, you can reach out at any time by calling or texting 1-833-TLC-MAMA to speak with a trained counselor.

Wednesday Wisdom. 💜

Many daycares require parents to send in diapers for their children, but not every parent can manage that daily. This situation forces some families to make tough choices between going into work or staying home, highlighting the financial and logistical challenges they face. It's ShareBaby's goal to help alleviate some of this burden.

❣️ At ShareBaby, we believe that understanding the connection between maternal mental health and material insecurity, including diaper need, is crucial for developing a more comprehensive approach to supporting mothers of babies and young children. 🌸 Starting today, the first day of Black Maternal Health Week, and leading up to and throughout Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month in May, we will explore the complexities of the relationship between maternal mental health and material insecurity by sharing the experiences and expertise of mental health experts who are working with mothers experiencing material insecurity. ❓🤚 Q& A with Ana Rodney, Owner / Principal of The Rising Mama: Q: In what ways does the lack of access to essentials for children affect a mother’s mental well-being? A: If a mother is focused on food, or other essential items for her children, she has little to no space to consider her own mental health. In general mothers will compromise their mental health and overall well-being to provide for their children while discounting their very real efforts to protect and provide for their family. Q: In your work, do you see material insecurity (such as diaper need) contributing to maternal stress and anxiety? If so, please explain. A: Yes, lack of resources lends itself to an overall feeling of unpreparedness for motherhood. The stress to provide for children is present significantly before the actual birth of their child. Q: Is there a particular family's story that demonstrates how ShareBaby items have helped to relieve stress or anxiety for a mom? A: In my previous position at MOMCares, doulas were able to provide care packages to mothers immediately after they gave birth. The ability to share essential items helped MOMCares fulfill its mission to provide compassionate care to birthing families in Baltimore. ☀️ Need Support?

What we thought might be a fun little exercise at our Open House last weekend turned into PURE INSPIRATION. 😍 We asked you - what is your ‘why’? That is, why do you choose to support ShareBaby’s mission? You all nailed it!🌟 A few of our favorites: ✨Making a difference within communities. ✨This organization helps in ways that can’t compare to any other. Truly a blessing. ✨To give all families the fair start they deserve. ✨Because I was once a mom in need. ✨For a better tomorrow. ✨Diaper need has a highly negative impact. I want to make a positive impact. ✨Moms and families should be able to focus on things other than basic needs. ✨All babies deserve the best chance.

We are currently accepting new or gently used: 💜 Diaper Bags 💜 Baby Carriers 💜 Shoes (Toddler Size 4-Kid Size 13.5) 💜 Blankets 💜 Sleepsacks/Swaddles Learn how to share these items with us at the link in our bio!

Who's excited for warmer days ahead?! We are! 🤚☀️ To make sure we're ready to respond to the spring/summer clothing needs of babies and young kids in our community, we've briefly paused clothing donations. Just hang on to those clothing donations for now and we'll give you the green light again as soon as we can accept them again! ❓Why do we have to pause clothing donations? We collect all-seasons of clothing year-round, which allows us to stock up large quantities of off-season clothing. When the time comes to swap seasons, our staff and volunteers get to work processing the surplus for the upcoming season. As the weather changes, we'll be ready to respond to the seasonal clothing needs of children in need. Temporarily pausing clothing donations enables us to work through the seasonal surplus, swap out all items in the physical clothing section of our warehouse, and reset the process to begin again. We appreciate extra hands to help with this process. If you can help, please sign up for one of our upcoming volunteer sessions in March. Link in bio. Thank you for understanding! 💜

It's Women's History Month, and we all know when women get involved, we make things happen! Women shape communities, spark change, and inspire future generations. Let's celebrate women today and every day!

Through passion and dedication, our partners forge new paths for families. Terri Fulp has been in business of serving the community for a long time. She first learned about ShareBaby while working at a community recreation center, where she worked for 17 years. After retiring, it was important for her to continue helping in the community so she became part of the outreach team at Terecia's Housing, a ShareBaby partner that offers temporary housing and support services to keep families together. Terri has seen firsthand how affording basic necessities like diapers, wipes, clothing, and other essential items can be a huge struggle for families. "Frustration and concerns for the babies and their needs was priority for both myself and the families. The resources from ShareBaby...are life-saving mentally, physically, and financially." This year, Terri has seen increased financial challenges for many families. "We are living in times where the cost of living is steadily increasing and families are finding it more difficult to thrive and survive. ShareBaby’s items lighten and brighten that load. Families feel less stressed knowing that some of their needs are being met and that makes a world of difference." Join us in strengthening and growing our partnerships to reach more children across Baltimore by making a gift today. Link in bio.

We wish you all a safe and warm holiday season filled with joy and treasured moments. Enjoy this special time with your loved ones!

How does it feel to discover the surprising reality of diaper need? For Cayla Bledsoe, ShareBaby's new Program Manager, learning about diaper need was an eye-opening experience. Cayla started working at ShareBaby in August 2024, and while new to the team, she is already a crucial link between our organization and our community partners. "Before I joined, I wasn’t familiar with the concept of diaper need. But once I started, I was blown away by the impact ShareBaby has on families in our community." Cayla now sees firsthand how essential ShareBaby's work is. "The issue of diaper need is something I never realized was so urgent. It’s incredible to know that ShareBaby is helping to relieve that burden for families, allowing parents to focus on other important things while ensuring their children have their basic needs met. The work ShareBaby does is truly life-changing." ShareBaby is not just meeting a physical need by providing diapers and other essentials—it's helping families build a better, healthier future.

Families helping families: it is the cornerstone of ShareBaby. When she moved to Baltimore during the pandemic, Kayla Raincook was looking for a meaningful way to get involved in the community. Her wife had a previous connection with ShareBaby and suggested she volunteer. In February 2022, she applied to become a Session and Community Lead Volunteer. "I was hoping to spread the word about ShareBaby’s mission in our neighborhood and meet others who were equally passionate. Little did I know, the organization’s impact would become even more personal when I became a parent in June 2022." Kayla's dedication to ShareBaby extends to leading volunteer sessions while 9 months pregnant and spending her first solo hours postpartum at a ShareBaby meeting (yes, seriously!). As a parent of two now, she also has a clear understanding of how many supplies it takes to care for a young child. "No family should ever have to worry about how to provide these essentials, but unfortunately, many do. Every child deserves to have their basic needs met. The work ShareBaby does has an unequivocally positive impact on children, families, and the broader Baltimore community." Help us keep our volunteers busy and make a difference in the lives of other families in our city by making a gift today. Link in bio.

🌟 A huge thank you to these amazing volunteer groups that helped in our warehouse this quarter. 🌟 Your hard work, dedication, and generosity have made a lasting impact on the families we serve.

We’re helping to break down barriers for families to thrive. Taking care of five boys, ranging in age from 1.5 to 11 years old, is no small feat. For Ms. Rona Perry, each day is a whirlwind of different needs, as each of her five nephews needs something different—sometimes at the same time. Some days it can feel chaotic and overwhelming, but Ms. Rona takes it all in stride and says with a laugh, "Everybody’s pulling you in all different directions, and you’re just like, ‘Oh, Lord!’" But amidst the challenges, there is some relief: the support Ms. Rona has received from the Judy Center at Abbottston Elementary and ShareBaby. “They have been a godsend. The diapers, wipes, and even a [double] stroller have been lifesavers. I don’t have to worry about, ‘Oh, where am I going to get money for diapers?’” When you support ShareBaby, you enable us to reach more families with the essentials they need for their children like diapers, clothing, and gear. Meeting families' basic needs reduces stress and gives them the freedom to focus on higher priorities. Make a Gift today: link in bio.
