Our Story
Why I Started CareCradle
CareCradle isn't a big organization yet. It's me, some incredible volunteers, and a growing list of hospitals and shelters who trust us to show up. Every single care package we send out is real, and everyone who reaches out gets read and responded to by an actual person, usually me.
What We're Actually Trying to Do
Get essential baby and essential care supplies to new moms, newborns, and women in shelter homes who are going through a financially hard time. No judgment, no hoops to jump through, just support.
What I Hope This Becomes
A place where they know someone's got their back, and where more students like me learn that you don't have to wait until you're "qualified" to help people.
A Note From Me
"Honestly, I didn't plan on starting a nonprofit. I just kept hearing about new moms and women's in shelter who needed stuff I could actually help with, diapers, wipes, a blanket, sanitary napkins, and essential supplies. I couldn't just walk away from that. So I didn't. I know that a pack of diapers can mean a lot to someone having the worst week of their life, and that's reason enough for me to keep doing this. Every care package that goes out, I packed it, or someone I trust did. Every request, I read it myself. This isn't a school project I'll forget about next semester. It's just something I care about, a lot, and I'm going to keep showing up for it."
