It’s a joy to introduce you to Louisa, loving Mom to Diego and Juan. She loves her children fiercely, and is unable to work because Diego lives with autism, schizophrenia and needs 24 hour care.
When Hurricane Maria struck, Diego really struggled because his environment had changed so much. Because of the devastation to his school, which he loved ferociously, he had to change schools and so many other aspects of their lives were changed.
Louisa struggled to provide for Diego and Juan. Louisa was overjoyed when she received cloth menstrual pads, thanks to you. This simple gift provides Louisa with dignity, and hope. Affording period products was a daily struggle, and Louisa was forced to choose between diapers for Diego, medications, food and basic hygiene needs. We were also able to provide Diego with diapers.
Louisa and her family have settled into a new post-Maria normal, and are so grateful for your support.
Thanks for helping Louisa, Diego, and Juan. I encourage you to reach me at stephanie@jakesdiapers.org with any questions you may have, I’d love to hear from you.
