With the economical crisis that we are currently living in, the need for our service has never been so great. We are seeing an increase for our service up by 40% this year but a reduced amount of goods and financial donations. We are asking 500 people to donate £3 a month to support with all our charity running cost, to ensure we can continue to support the families of Milton Keynes. If you can spare more each month that would be wonderful but we appreciate there are many demands on your finances and many needs in our local community.
Take a read of Sarah's story and how your support can change people lives.
Following a relationship breakdown, Sarah found herself 5 months pregnant and living in temporary accommodation. She was struggling to keep up with her outgoings and hadn't yet got the things she needed for her newborn. Sarah spoke to her midwife about her difficulties and a referral was made for her.
Baby Basics MK provided Sarah with clothing, a moses basket, a pushchair, feeding equipment and multiple other items for her new baby. Sarah was so happy and overwhelmed when her items were delivered to her, she felt a weight of worrying had been removed - "I didn't know what to do, this was a lifeline".
Sarah's daughter was born a few weeks ago and mum and baby are both doing well.
