How You Can Support Survivors of the California Wildfires

Crowdfunder: Stephanie Bowers of Jake’s Diapers

Campaign type: We’re looking for donations to support a cause

Campaign link: https://www.caringcrowd.org/help-wildfire-victims-relief-children-women

Twitter: @jakesdiapers

Goal: $6,037

Progress: $3,012

Project: The California wildfires have left thousands homeless and in dire need. We are working to provide vulnerable women & children survivors with basic hygiene needs: diapers & feminine care items. These items are often overlooked, both in disaster relief and traditional poverty alleviation. No disaster relief or federal safety net programs (WIC, food stamps) cover these much needed items.

Use of funds: This fund will provide relief to children & women in the form of cloth diapers & re-usable feminine hygiene items as part of longer-term recovery assistance to help those impacted meet basic hygiene needs. All donations to this fund will exclusively support relief and recovery efforts from these fires.

Anecdote: “We lost our home and my husband’s job. Thank you for helping. “ ~ Tubbs Wildfire Survivor, after receiving a kit of cloth diapers from Jake’s Diapers to last from birth to potty training.
