I’m grateful to all who contributed to my recent drive, aimed to help families undergoing financial hardships during the holiday season. The financial stress these parents experience year-round is amplified during the holidays, and a simple donation can make all the difference.

National Diaper Need Awareness Week
I’m pleased to share that I’m continuing my annual diaper drive with Good+Foundation to once again coincide with National Diaper Need Awareness Week, which takes place in late September every year. Good+Foundation provides essential goods to under-resourced families. Their New York warehouse partners with anti-poverty programs across the state to get the diapers collected by…
Over 3,000 Products Collected!
So happy to share that over 2,500 diapers and over 500 wipes were collected by the Girl Scouts and Brownies I partnered with on Long Island! This effort provided a small sense of relief to many local families struggling to afford these basic needs. It also brings me great joy to know that a group…
Successful Pick Up!

The Girl Scouts are an organization that exemplifies kindness so I’m incredibly grateful this worked out. At each booth…

Celebrating New Moms!
Two of my cheerleading coaches are giving birth this month! In their honor, I organized a small diaper drive and donated over 1,250 diapers between two local charities: St. Patrick’s Trocaire and Helping Hands Rescue Mission. Many soon-to-be Moms do not have baby showers, where they’re gifted with boxes upon boxes of diapers. More families…
