1 in 3 American families struggle to provide enough diapers to keep their babies happy, healthy and dry

Kansas City area, an estimated 20,000+ children aren't receiving the diapers they need to be happy and healthy

A survey found that the 36 percent of families who report struggling with diaper need are falling short of 19 diapers each month.

Infants require up to 12 diapers per day

Toddlers require up to 8 diapers a day

Disposable diapers cost $70 to $80 per month per baby

According to the Huggies Every Little Bottom study from 2010, for families in need, they're usually short 10 to 12 diapers every week

No public assistance programs like food stamps, WIC, SNAP or Medicaid cover diapers

2013 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics found that moms who experience diaper need are twice as likely to suffer from depression and stress

I set up a diaper drive at my school and church. To collect open and new packages of diapers. I am making poster and announcements. So people know about the drive.
Since school is know closed I am doing a Facebook fundraiser to collect donations for Happy Bottoms.

A few years ago for my birthday I collected baby items instead of gifts for my self. When it came time to decided where I wanted to donate my items I landed on Happy Bottoms. I got to see how they ran and how much of an impact they make. When I was choosing my organization for this project I knew that donating to Happy Bottoms would have a real effect on people. A need for diapers is something that people don't always think about. I also choose them because it is a need that I know about and others might not.
