    My brother has some friends that are in need of some baby items. Their baby girl is 7 weeks old and weighs just over 5 pounds (she was a preemie - just over 3 pounds at birth).

    They have very little - just a car seat provided by the hospital and a bassinett. They live in a trailer/camper in the Richmond area.

    If anyone has a stroller, baby swing(small, as they live in a small space), preemie/newborn diapers, bouncy seat, clothing, etc that they would be willing to give, they would be very appreciative.

    Thank you!

    I'm sure I can find some goodies for you. I'll go look around.

    Me too! I have a stroller they can have (if you haven't already gotten one).

    No, I haven't gotten a stroller yet, so I would love to have it. Thanks! PM me your address and I can come by and pick it up tomorrow.

    I have friends that live in Richmond...if you can't round up things around here (which is highly unlikely b/c this community is so generous and amazing!), please let me know, and I can send them a message to see what they can find down there.

    Take care and thanks for being a blessing to this family!

    soccerdudes: Thank you! I will let you know if I still need things. I spoke to my brother this morning and told him to let me know if there are any other specific things that they need.

    When my brother told me about this family, I just had to do something for them. They struggle just to buy formula and diapers so there is no way they are able to purchase anything else for their baby. They don't own a car, so my brother helps them buy driving them back and forth to work (they both work minimum wage jobs) and another friend is generous enough to babysit for them free of charge.

    Thank you to everyone who has offered things to this family. My sister (who also lives in Richmond) is coming up here on the 30th and will bring everything down to them then.

    Hi ElmGrove,

    I have a bouncer that my son has out grown. It lights up, plays music, vibrates, and has 3 toys that dangle from a removable arch. Let me know if they would like it and I will have it washed and ready for pickup.

    :)

    Thank you to everyone who has donated things to this family. Everything is going down to Richmond on Thursday. If anyone has anything they would like to give, I'd be happy to come by and pick it up.

    I am still looking for a baby swing (smallish) and an infant car seat (I just found out that the car seat the hospital gave them is just a small plasic seat - no carrying handle).

    Thanks!

    I have a great, small, barely used swing. Let's arrange pickup/dropoff!

    I have some baby clothes (not premie size, but 6 months - 1 year old) that I can give to the family.
    Please let me know where to drop them.

    Thanks.

    My daughter has a 6 week old little boy who's just outgrown the newborn sleepers and things. Some of them are yellows & green and she'd be willing to contribute them if you think they could use them.
