Every child born deserves basic essentials. But we do not have to look outside our own country to find babies in desperate need of support from Newborns in Need. In America, nearly 11 million children are poor. That’s 1 in 7 children, who make up almost one-third of all people living in poverty in this country. Incredibly, babies in our very own country go without a fresh diaper, warm blankets, clothing, or a safe place to sleep. Poverty or illness impacts the tiniest babies and families become overwhelmed. Without a strong support system, the gift of basic essentials to these families gives them a chance to provide for the new baby immediately after birth
