Does anyone have any boy baby clothes they need to get rid of

A friend and a customer basically had a infant and a toddler dropped in her lap. Her cousin had two boys and is a unemployed drug addict. She was arrested and this woman is her only relative that is willing to take the kids, otherwise they will be split up and put into foster care. This woman is divorced with a child and the father gives nothing so she was already in a bind. She was making it because she is a go getter but now she is applying for welfare and food stamps and anything else she can get till the state starts giving her money to take care of the kids. She needs 9-12 month and 2T boy clothes along with books and toys. I will be giving her a free car payment so she can buy Christmas.

Every community has a regional kids clothing group on Facebook. You or someone with a fb should join/post to this Humble Texas kids resale fb group. It looks like they have Free Fridays where people post stuff they're wanting to give away. From my experience people are eager to get rid of their kids' hand-me-downs but would rather give them to someone they know could use them.

Hope everything works out for them.

Thanks. I honestly don’t know how she is doing it. She doesn’t see it as a choice.

Oldpinguy, sorry I don't know your real name. Thanks in advance for anything you can send. She will need it. As far as a PayPal account goes I don't have one because of a billing dispute.

The two little babies in the pics are the ones that got dropped on her. Two boys, 12 months and 2T. Im sure older would be great as the little suckers grow fast. Thanks guys. Here is my address again.

And she has a child herself correct? Is that a boy or a girl, and how old? I have boys and girls so we have all kinds of stuff but if there is no girl in the house I won't send anything for girls.

Let me know.

Setup a gofundme account for her. We can all put in at least $20.00. Adds up quick if you get the word out on pinside.

Wow, you guys are great. Thank you for her sake. She set up a Gofund me account. It is under Reasoner boys fund and her name is Kayla Martinez. I had her set it up because the money will go directly to her.

Ok, do you have a link? I went to the gofundme website and I can’t find Reasoner boys or the lady’s name. That site doesn’t seem too intuitive for giving money to a specific person’s cause. Although it could just be me.

Try this. It should take you to it. There is a pic of a little boy in a red shirt and the first donation is 20 dollar donation from me, James Lewis

Wish I had kid stuff to donate since I live in the area. I just donated a bunch of kid stuff last summer clearing out the house. Thanks for helping her out, zr11990. I think it is great she is stepping up and helping these poor kids. I can't imagine growing up bouncing around foster homes and being separated from family and siblings. I'm a single dad and know how tough it can be but you got to do right by the kids. I kicked in some money in the gofundme. Hope it helps and more do so as well.

All you guys know I can be a giant asshole sometimes but I have a soft spot for children and women in distress and animals. I just hate the idea of those two kids being separated and going into the foster system. They wouldn’t have a chance. I know if I had stayed angry at my daughter for getting involved with that turd and getting pregnant she would be in the same boat and the thought makes me sick. You guys are the good guys helping someone you don’t know because someone who is often a jerk asked you to.

Thank you for donating. She told me yesterday that the parents of the kids told her she was being greedy and taking advantage by starting the Gofundme account. She told them that no one else in the family had volunteered to help out so she had to do what she had to do. So thank you from me for her.

That takes balls. They probably are kicking themselves for not thinking of it first (take the money and run)

Donated. My father bailed on his 5 kids when I was 14. Being the oldest I had to take over while my mother went to work. It's a tough situation and I wish her the strength to continue.

I received your box Friday. Thank you again. She hasn't picked anything up yet because the baby has had a respitory virus from the daycare.
