I'm hoping some of you moms can help me out with something.....?
I have a friend who has a friend of her mom's that is a single mother. She just had her baby prematurly at 34 weeks and has no money, clothes, baby items, or food for her baby. My friend is collecting items to take to her. I usually watch the free section of craigslist and see a lot of baby clothes for free. Of course now that I have been looking there is nothing showing up. If you were looking for free baby items where else whould you look?
We are in Phoenix, Arizona.
I did try the Wishuponahero.com but it says you can't post for someone else :(
I have went onto freecycle.com and couldn't seem to figure out how it worked. Guess I will go look again and see if I can figure it out.
She is not able to breastfeed so I won't even start on that. Second we are a whole group of friends collecting stuff and third I've already tried posting a wanted ad on craigslist every day and haven't recieved a response.

I know alot of thrift stores and salvation armys and goodwills will allow you to trade clothing for other clothing. Ask the stores around you and see if they will allow you to collect adult cloths and trade them in for baby clothing. They may allow you to do that considering her sitiuation. Also if she isnt on wic she really should be. Wic will provide milk and eggs and so on for heruntill the baby is 6 months old and formula for the baby, and food untill the baby is 5 years old. Only certain things though. And lots of churches has food and other items for free. Look to see if there is any food or clothing bannks near you. There is usually tons of resources for things like this but most people have to much pride to go to them therefore the word about them dont get spread for people who need them. Hope this helps!!!

1) Freecycle in your area. (http://www.freecycle.org/)
2) Check with the Salvation Army, local churches, food banks, etc. All of those will be great resources.
3) Post on Wishuponahero.com . I've heard great things about that site.
Good luck!

she has food... it is in her breasts.
Clothing is pretty easy, post an ad n craigslist in the babies section: Looking for (add premie stuff as well, newborn will be too big)
Get in contact with a LLL for her so she can have breastfeeding support, especially if she did not do educated.
Check out www.askdrsears.com for safe cosleeping rules and perhaps add a wrap type carrier for kangaroo care to the craigslist ad which is soooo important for breastfeeding premies.
Call your friends, see if they have anything to help.

Freecycle is good for free stuff, I just gave a tonne of stuff away on my local board the other week. It was snapped up within an hour or so.

Free-cycle and any other classified web sites in your area. You can google classifieds for your area and find them.
