Did you know that SNAP and WIC don't pay for diapers? You might think, "Well, they should use cloth diapers and save money!" Okay, and if they don't have a washing machine in their home? Or if their child is in daycare (which typically require disposables) so they can earn an income? What then? The truth of it is that the cost of having a child are incredibly high on top of the overall cost of living creeping ever higher. Being wealthy should not be a prerequisite to something as fundamentally human as choosing to have a child. Until other steps are taken to affect the overall cost of living, it falls on organizations to help those who are struggling to afford necessities like diapers. Without the support of organizations like Anchor of Hope Diaper Bank, babies and their families suffer. Families already trying their very best in this economy.

Did you know that women are less likely to receive bystander CPR than men? Let that sink in. Research suggests that only 39% of women received CPR from bystanders in public compared to 45% of men. Men's odds of surviving a cardiac event are 23% higher than women's. Women are often less likely to receive bystander CPR because rescuers often fear accusations of inappropriate touching, sexual assault or injuring the victim. However, every state has "Good Samaritan" laws that offer legal protection to people who give reasonable assistance to those who they believe to be injured or in peril. As a #GoRedWomanofImpact nominee, I learned Hands-Only CPR so that I can make my home and my community a safer place and be prepared to help if someone needs it. There are two steps to Hands-Only CPR. When you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse: 1. Call 911. 2. Press hard and fast at the center of the chest, 100-120 beats per minute, until help arrives. Take 90 seconds to learn CPR today, then share the link with your loved ones: https://lnkd.in/gArnKDB8. Remember, saving a life could be as simple as knowing these two steps. Tag @GoRedforWomen and #GoRedWomanofImpact to help spread the word and potentially save a life. And then for Valentine's Day, make a donation to help me put an end to these crazy statistics! https://lnkd.in/gPYxJ25m
