Hey, remember how I passed on a request for help with diapers from Center for Victims?
HI, YOU GUYS. YOU'RE AWESOME.
Math and I aren't the best of friends, but if I count up the Amazon orders I can see and the pictures that people sent me, I come up with a number. I come up with just over 3500 diapers. I also count somewhere around 10 cases of wipes.
That's not all of it. There's a lot that I know has or will be delivered but that I can't see to quantify.
So, while it's a little early to stand up and say that you managed to make a difference to the tune of (insert specific number), I think it's safe to say you are doing an amazing job. Thanks to everyone who has or will drop diapers or wipes off in person, thanks to everyone who sent or will send diapers or wipes, and thanks to everyone who tweeted/Facebooked/emailed/whatevered to help spread the word.
Also, considering some of the things that happened today on social media, thanks for being a force that served to prove that while there are downsides to being SO connected, the upsides are pretty amazing.
You can still help Center for Victims gather diapers and wipes for their shelter. There are details over here.
In completely not related news, there's this.
That's how Mila walks and runs. With her hands up in the air. Like a criminal.
Since you've proven that the internet is an all powerful force, could you work together to make sure that the child continues to run with her hands up for a few more weeks? Because it's basically my favorite and I'd like to enjoy it for a few more minutes.
Thanks, y'all.
