Who do these Packages benefit

Our main goal is to offer hope and encouragement to the many young unwed mothers that are prevalent in Guatemala. Many have no means of support and no way to prepare for their coming child. The gift of these basic items is merely a token of help compared to their great need. But it gives brings them hope and faith that God sees them and their need. We don't generally just pass these out on the run. Each bundle is taken to the mother and time is spent getting to know her, her need, and about her life. We share with her from God's message and help her to come to know Him as her own best friend when possible. We never leave without praying with her for her coming child and for her life. Even those who aren't ready to accept the Lord rarely deny us the chance to pray for them. Other times we reach women who already have had their baby but are still in great need and other women are married or have other children already but are still in great need. Each one is different.

What is a Baby Wrap or Newborn Blanket of Hope package?

Each package contains a newborn layette consisting of 2 sleepers, 2 outfits, 4 T-shirts or onesies, 4 pairs of socks, a small soft baby toy, 1 light recieving blanket or sheet and 1 handmade baby blanket.
Items are bundled together in a special baby bag that serves double duty when taken home as a clean place to store baby's things.

Other items that can be included and are given out when available are cloth diapers, soakers or rubber pants, newborn washcloths and towels, and baby hats.

At this time we are not able to ship large baby equipment items as much as they are needed.
