No Crib for A Bed snowballs for Moms of Sundance

"Our aim was to fill one crib - and it snowballed!"

One crib became six, and a group of five moms became over 70 as the Moms of Sundance began their No Crib for A Bed drive in early December.

Organizer Rhona Beaumont was ecstatic to see the e-mail she sent to her network of friends, family and fellow cul-de-sac moms go "viral."

"We are all moms - who better to relate to the need than a group of women who have also been there, and know the expense of a new baby?" said Beamont.

"Also, a few of us are from the UK," she continued. "We know what it is like to arrive in a city with nothing, not knowing anybody, no job, or where to ask for help - and I am sure there are moms who have also immigrated to Calgary who are on your list!"

There certainly are new Canadians on NeighbourLink's crib wait-list, which is being whittled down thanks to donors like the Moms of Sundance.

Some members from the social group met NeighbourLink clients first-hand while delivering cribs and baby items to moms-in-need later in December.

Thanks to all who participated in No Crib for A Bed this past holiday season! And keep in mind that the program can be run all year-round...Phone LeeAnne at 403.538.7314 for more info.
