September 6, 2018 8:27 am | by
Share the Love, our cloth diaper bank, works to solve diaper need.

Disposable diapers are dried out and put back on a baby. These practices put

Editor’s Note: This content was kindly (and voluntarily) shared with us by a Share the Love recipient.

My husband had been unemployed for four months, having worked part-time before then, and just received a 4-month trucking job. Needless to say, we have truly been struggling financially since fall 2013, but by scaling
