Help 4 Babies, Children and Pregnant/Nursing Mothers in Japan

5 Stinky Moms is now conducting a "Diapies-N-Wipies 4 Japan" drive for those who are interested in  donating funds specifically towards diapers and other supplies for babies, children and nursing/pregnant mothers in Japan.   Please help us in our quest by clicking the donate button on our page above.  

Here are some additional resources for those who want to help:

• The U.S. Fund for UNICEF (USF) is raising funds to help children in Japan impacted by the recent earthquake and tsunami.  Due to the unprecedented nature of the epic disaster and its impact on children, resources are going to be critical in helping provide for the very unique needs of children.  These may include health, development and protection and other needs that may have been compromised or disrupted in the wake of catastrophe.
