Out of Difficulties Grow Miracles
By Kim Mervine
Kim Amato, Founder of Baby’s Bounty, is just that to many new Moms and babies throughout the Vegas Valley….a miracle!
In July of 2008, Kim recognized the need in our community to provide Moms and babies at risk with the essential clothing and gear to ensure that they would thrive in the most crucial months of their new lives. And so, Baby’s Bounty was “born.”
Through collaboration with social service agencies, hospitals, homeless shelters, safe havens and family courts, new mothers at risk are identified by their caseworkers who carefully screen them to determine what items are needed. Baby’s Bounty typically gives each new mom a diaper bag filled with a collection of new and gently used infant clothing, blankets, bottles, hats and bibs, and even a toy. Depending on the need, a client can receive an infant stroller, bassinet or porta crib, swing or bouncer and a bathtub filled with toiletries. Volunteers sort donated clothing and fill the diaper bags. Caseworkers are contacted when the requested items are ready and they deliver everything to the new Mom.
