Begin to Understand

We can imagine the needs of others and imagine the cause. Imagine blame. We can even imagine a solution. However, not until you take time to listen to those in need and witness their humanity can you truly begin to understand.

Last week, I participated in my first two baby showers (Lee High School and Magnolia Clinic of El Centro de Corazón) with the Community Doula Program of the Healthy Family Initiatives. The generosity of family and friends helped make it possible to give 27 Love Bug Bundles, 24 postpartum items, and six door prizes to expectant mothers in need. The March baby shower bundles included:

· 1 receiving blanket
· 1 newborn or three-month outfit
· 1 bib or 1 hat
· 1 pair of socks or 2 wash cloths
