This year at the walk we will be collecting donations for Birth Mother Baskets.
(from their website:)
Birth Mother Baskets {bmb} is a non-profit organization that delivers
gift baskets to birth mothers who have recently placed their babies for
adoption.
These gift baskets hold so much more than just the tangible items inside
of them. They are filled with LOVE, warmth and support. bmb provides a
loving voice saying, "you are not alone, you are loved, you are brave
and yes someone has felt this unbearable pain before." bmb gives the
mothers something to take home with them, from the hospital.
We know that these baskets provide a moment of stillness for these birth
mothers, whose emotions will become so deep in their first few days of
placement. Our hope is that they will for just a moment, feel that
ache disappear by placing a bmb in their arms. Please, help us support
these brave women who truly give the greatest gift of all... selfless
LOVE.
