"I was a non-traditional student pursuing my nursing degree at a local community college. When I wasn't studying, I was a mother, juggling cooking, cleaning, reading, and preparing my children for their classes. It was very difficult, but it was our only way out of poverty."
"B.A.B.E.S. has helped my family and I during our most difficult times with care packages and diaper bank. Even the littlest supplies make a huge difference! Not only has B.A.B.E.S. helped us economically, but also emotionally."
"Care Packages and Diaper Bank have relieved an enormous amount of stress when I've been down to 3-4 diapers, and my vehicle is on empty. I am able to pay for gas because I was able to get diapers through B.A.B.E.S."
"I had started my first semeester of college to get my welding degree, and I was still adjusting to balancing being the best mom for my son and building my career."
"Ever since we started B.A.B.E.S., our schedule has been so easy. Without traveling a far distance for sitters, we were able to drop the kids off and pick them up."
"Respite Care at B.A.B.E.S. helps me take care of myself, especially if I need to catch up on laundry or sleep."
"It's hard for me sometimes with my family living so far away. When I'm overwhelmed, I can't go visit my mother, or someone else in my family, that might be able to help so I can get a moment of rest to myself."
