Dh's little cousin (who is all grown up now, but was about 10 years old when I first met her) is going through a rough time. I've been pretty open with you all about the difficulties we've had this year. Well, dh's cousin is facing her own troubles and on top of that, she's pregnant and expecting a little boy in October.
I've tried asking for help for her a few times and Twitter and while I got lots of RT's (retweets), I didn't get any offers to help, until recently.
Grudgemom has put together a nation-wide baby shower for dh's cousin. You can read more about what she's going through at that link.
If you can help in any way, please do. If you can afford to, please buy something from the registry. For all my beloved Etsy sellers, if you make children's items and would like to send one their way, please do. If you're not on Etsy, but you make children's clothes/items, we would greatly appreciate your help. If you would like to donate hand-me-down clothing, please do (just remember they're in Florida, so they don't have much need for snow suits). If you'd like to do something other than the registry, please contact me (comment here or send an e-mail) and I'll help you out. I'm sending her some books, a box of nursing pads, the few newborn diapers we have (we never had many), and some boys' clothing, but unfortunately, TheBoy's newborn clothing is almost all for cold weather. Our financial situation is improving, but there's not too much we can spend, so I'm trying to pass along what I can.
A huge THANK YOU to Grudgemom and RG Natural Babies. And a big thank you to everyone who can help in any way.

I just want to help. If nothing else, I want my daughter to learn to help other people when she can.
Can you email me their physical address? I have some used cloth diapers (in excellent condition) that I'd love to send their way. Most of them have only been used a couple of times.
They're being evicted, so I don't have an address for them right now. They may wind up on the street, so I'm not sure what to do or where to have things sent.
