Mom’s mission nearly complete
A few weeks ago we learned about Middletown mom, Kelly Schilling, who gave up her volunteer work following the birth of her daughter, Anna.
Still driven to help her community, she embarked on a quest to acquire 25,000 diapers for the Community Pregnancy Center in Middletown.
Kelly Schilling and daughter, AnnaShe has nearly achieved her goal.
“This week, the new total is 21,400. I feel confident we will either finish this week or next with our 25,000 mark,” Schilling said Friday, March 20. “My living room is ridiculous. These diapers are all over the place.”
Schilling said she felt blessed to have a healthy, happy baby but was concerned for mothers who were unable to provide for their babies. With support from her church, Schilling was able to start a diaper drive. Donors can claim a tax write-off.
Her next step is to establish a plan for delivering the diapers to the Center. “I definitely think it is going to be more then one car or truck load.”
Way to go, Kelly!
