Baby to Baby charity encourages persons to keep donating

Registered nurse Nashida White who operates the ‘Baby to Baby’ charity is encouraging persons to continue to make donations.

White’s charity was started on November 13, 2017 with the help of her mother Brenda White-Myers and is aimed at helping needy mothers with new born babies source baby clothing and other essentials.
The charity recently received a boost from Paul’s Avenue resident Jawanza “Sanga” Fraser, and White says that she is grateful for the help.

She makes donations every week to needy mothers and Fraser’s contribution has helped her continue to make a difference. Also contributing were Thadeen Franklyn and Kamisha Hamilton.

“I was really pleased and happy because people don’t normally give like that. He buys items and I am really happy to have him on board,” said White.

“I admire what White is doing. My daughter was born premature and while at the hospital, I saw certain mothers having it real hard when their boyfriends ran off after the baby’s birth, so I realise it real hard on some single mothers,” said Fraser.

He encouraged other persons to donate to the charity.

White started the initiative after she was assigned to the Paediatric Ward and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital (MCMH) and observed mothers’ struggling to provide.

“I feel good to be able to help some mothers because I know how you can feel as a mother when you cannot afford items for your own baby. You feel like you don’t have any worth. I think that if we are in a position to help, we should, without any judgement,” White told SEARCHLIGHT.

Persons wishing to donate to the charity may contact White at telephone number 5265966 or via Facebook at “baby2baby”. New or used clothing and other baby items are welcomed.
