happy mothers day!

On Thursday, May 15th our family & team is taking a baby shower to the streets for hundreds of mommies in Santa Rosa~
We would appreciate 100's of homemade cupcakes!
Could you please bake a couple dozen and/or ask your teenagers to help bake for us?
Please drop them off at our home on Thursday, May 15th~ before 5pm
The box cartons from water bottle cases work as good transport for us~

And if you are out shopping at target or garage sales, please pick up any big baby items or gently used baby clothing~
We want to bless the socks off these pregnant mothers!
In the past we've been able to pack large sized gift bags of a layette, blanket, newborn diapers and a stuffed toy or two,
we need a dozen bags per neighborhood... yep, we go into 4 neighborhoods... so that's a lot of gifts!
We put shampoo, wipes, ANYTHING baby into the the bags and they fill up quickly and it's really fun~~
We've had a lot of help from Dolan and Karen in the past~ they've gone to yard sales and found LOTS of baby items
that are still in great condition and so if you're driving around this sunny weekend and see something in someone's yard,
please consider buying it for a mommy in need! We'll be happy to give it directly to a mommy, or better yet, come with us on
the 15th!
From mommy to mommy~ and some of you, "dads and grandparents"

I thank you for considering being a part of what has proved in the past to be a very special memory of encouragement to the
mothers who are most forgotten in our city~ the ones who have chosen life for the unborn, despite difficult circumstances!

All good things,
Lori Gonzalez
