and it keeps on growing.....

I hit the 25,000 mark almost 2 weeks ago, but the donations are still coming! This week we hit a new total of 32,000!!! Isn't that crazy? A student council group from Fenwick donated almost 4,000 diapers when they took this on as a project.

Additionally, I have had more donations continue to trickle in....I'm officially not collecting anymore, but we're not going to turn them away.

Diaper Drive a Big Success-Cincinnati Enquirer

I'm not bragging-this is what the latest article says that ran today in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Want to read it? Click here.

If you were to ask me what has been the most successful part, I would say all the recent things that have happened (many of which this article mentions). I believe I previously posted about the onesies that are being donated-but I had the number wrong-it is actually 5,000!!

I was also contacted by a radio program to ask if they could reference the diaper drive as a way of empowering people to start more drives-or whatever sort of thing they may be passionate about. Very cool.

The Drop-Off

So what do 25,930 diapers look like? Unless you have seen it firsthand, it is definitely amazing. Needless to say, I think the people helping us were incredibly surprised when we started unloading diapers, and kept unloading diapers-for the next 2 hours! The drop-off required 3 truckloads, and 2 carloads to transport them all to the Community Pregnancy Center-with 6 people helping! This picture shows what they looked like after we dropped them off.

For those who have helped, thank you for making this a reality-and in 2 months time no less. As I have said before, a lot of amazing things have happened as a trickle down effect of this Diaper Drive. The goal was to fill a need, and I think we have definitely made a dent.

I Lied

Did you see my post from Saturday? I excitedly announced that we were done! (Not sure it went out via e-mail...) Anywho, I think I lied. Some diapers are still trickling in....so we will have a slightly new update later this week. Stay tuned.

We're Done!!!!

Can you believe it? This week, we hit 25,626 diapers-in less than 2 months. That's incredible. What's even more incredible is the amount of things that have happened because of this. The Pregnancy Center was contacted by someone in Cleveland-who heard about the diaper drive-and wanted to donate 2,000 onesies! (They have already received their first box...) Also, I was contacted by someone in Michigan, who decided they wanted to do a service project and decided on a diaper drive after hearing about mine! It's truly amazing how one thing can grow into something so much more.
