These babies and their mamas have nothing for the babies that is provided by the state prison system, EVERYTHING, clothing, diapers, formula, bedding, etc. is provided for them by donations. When Peggy heard about it, she decided that every baby needs a quilt to grow up with. The quilts that Peggy makes and sends stay with the babies that they are given to, and go home with the babies when their mamas are released from custody. (It's a condition that the prison people agreed to when Peggy offered to send quilts)
I'm pretty sure that Peggy can use all the help she can get if anyone wants to volunteer or donate!
I recently saw a program on TLC channel about this called "Babies Behind Bars"
Who do you contact about donating? Where do you send things to? Can you send gently used clothing or does it have to be new?

To Peggy - Great job! Absolutely beautiful. These women/babies are blessed to have you helping them.
