How to Help with Harvey: A Suggestion

It's strange. The last big devastating hurricane was Katrina. And it all went down right around the time my grandmother passed away. And I was in my own little grief bubble and didn't really realize it was even happening.

So now here we are with Harvey and I am also grieving, this time not in a little bubble. I want to help out the people of Texas but I wasn't really sure what to do. At the same time I am trying so hard to find a way to honor Ann and her life. Even though I never got to see her, hold her or talk with her outside of the womb doesn't make her life any less. So I was pleased to find a way to do both!

The Texas Diaper Bank needs diapers and wipes. (For babies, toddlers and those adults in need.) It seems like such a simple need, but man have you ever run out of diapers? Or been caught without one on an outing?

The Texas Diaper Bank is accepting donations on their website but they also have an Amazon wishlist, so you can just send them diapers via Amazon directly. That's what I did. It feels good to do something tangible and know that I am really helping some little bum stay clean and dry.

These days I am feeling pretty small in my world. Death and destruction have a way of putting you in your place you know? I want to help fix the sadness going on with my BIL and SIL. But I can't. And they don't really need anything and they specifically don't want stuff. But donating diapers in Ann's honor, that is something I can do.

If you are looking for a way to help the people of Texas, might I suggest the Texas Diaper Bank?
