Thank you!

Dear Friends,

We did it!

As of today, our campaign is officially closed and we are no longer accepting donations. We raised a remarkable $3,405 thanks to your incredible support! We couldn't have done it without each of you, and we are so grateful for every dollar you donated and every email you sent on our behalf.

Thank you!

We are working hard today to prepare for our big delivery tomorrow. A total of 105 bags are being assembled and we are wrapping up a few big surprises we have in store, as well. We can't wait!

You can follow along tomorrow and watch it all unfold on Instagram @helpingnicumamas.

Thank you again, to each and every one of you. Your support has made this Christmas one we won't soon forget. It has been an amazing experience for us to witness the goodness and generosity of so many, and we know your kindness will make such a difference to those families tomorrow.

With love and gratitude,

Jessica & Erin

Something for DAD.

We are looking for a local burger joint that might be willing to team up with us in order to bring a little cheer to Dad, as well.

If you know of any restaurants that might be willing to collaborate with us, or if you have any connections to a local burger joint, please email Jessica at [email protected]

Thank you!

You can follow our progress on Instagram!

We've started an Instagram account to share the progress of this campaign as it unfolds. We hope all of you who've so generously donated will enjoy keeping up with the project, as we share the amazing in-kind donations we receive, the Moms we serve, and the contents of the care-packages as we assemble them.

Thank you!
