Come on - who doesn't love buying baby stuff?!

Father Tim has very kindly made us aware of an appeal from the Sisters of the Gospel of Life, who are in need of baby buggies, baby baths, etc.

Here is Father's post. Please do go read it and send what you can.
Your generosity will be appreciated by a needy mother.
Baby baths are very affordable.

From Father's blog:

Due to unprecedented demand we have a severe shortage of prams and buggies, which we desperately need over the next few days.

If you’re in the Glasgow area and have a pram or buggy, in good condition, that you no longer need, please do consider donating it to us. We have a number of women whose due dates are imminent and are in particular need of prams or buggies suitable from birth onwards.

We’re also in serious need of baby baths.

Now many of us don't live in the Glasgow area. But all of us using the internet can go to a baby-stuff site and type in the numbers from that little plastic thing we have in our wallets, and put the delivery address as:

Sisters of the Gospel of Life
106 Dixon Ave
Glasgow
G42 8EL

This is called almsgiving. You get grace and at least a partial indulgence if you have even a habitual intention. The Sisters get a bit of help and encouragement in their work, and a mother who has resisted pressure to "terminate" gets something nice and new for her baby. So who loses? Come on! Let's give these people some help! My parishioners were more than generous with the Christmas offering so I just sent over the pink & grey "Zooper". That sounds fun :-)



Now, here is the buggy Father sent:


So I sent over a blue boy buggy, which, as you can tell from the writing on it, is "fun for kids."
It says so right there. See?

Come on, y'all. Most of us are fortunate enough to have jobs, insurance, a decent roof over our heads, and I'll wager not many of us have gone to bed hungry in the last year, if ever in our lives. It was just as easy to go to AmazonUK and send this stuff as it is to go to regular Amazon and buy books, etc.
They ship it right to the Sisters.
Don't worry about not having the county - when you leave it blank, AmazonUK recommends the "correct address" and includes the county name.
I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty (well, maybe a little), but most of us think nothing of going out to dinner and spending AT LEAST as much as one of these buggies costs.
This gift can let a struggling mother know that people care about her and her baby.
I included a short note (free) for the mother and signed it "Love from Chicago, USA."
Show some civic pride - send something from your hometown!
