Less than two weeks to go and my excitement is killing me!

Today, my box from the US arrived!! yay!!! this box was filled with (OK half of it) 2nd hand baby clothes I bought (through my kumare) from Decatur..online and offline yard sale.. that’s the power of internet to you haha

We have sponsorssss! (yes take note of the S! haha) Say hello! and a huge thanks to these companies for supporting this cause:

Unilab is a trusted company when it comes to vitamins for kids and medicine for fever and so we asked them if they can provide  Ceelin and Tiki Tiki for babies, Biogesic For infant and adults and they said YES! Thank you so much Unilab and to the person that made this sponsorship possible (waves at Roche!)

I have mentioned before, my partnership with Pampers(and the huge amount of diapers they gave me) inspired me (along with Please Be Careful birthday episode) to start this project but we didn’t stopped there.. Grace to be Born needs diaper and more than that.  Knowing that Procter & Gamble being a household name for soap, shampoo, detergent (and of course diaper), we asked them to be a part of this project by sponsoring some of their products.. and it was a YES! Thank you P&G and to my fellow elbizen (Moe!).

Pascual Labs is very close to my heart… err, they were the one that made me famous LOL.. C-Lium ad? remember? hahaha

Grace to be Born houses pregnant women (serves as a temporary shelter for the unwed mothers and an orphanage for the children born there) and they encourage mothers to breastfeed their babies.. and we know that Pascual’s Pro-Lacta is the pioneer when it comes to malunggay tablet (helps in milk production), and Pascual Labs was very generous to provide some boxes of Pro-Lacta and some Lagundi bottles. Thank you Pascual Labs (and Diana..amishu!)

Blogger friends are very supportive too!

When I was offered to be one of Pampers mommy bloggers, I was ecstatic.. who wouldn’t be? That’s Pampers, that’s Procter & Gamble, a brand that we trust and actually use, from toiletries, to snacks (we love Pringles!) to Vicks (can’t live without it.. since I was 4!). The fact that they trusted me to carry out their brand message and campaigns is just overwhelming. And I thought the happiness would stop from there.. oh well, obviously I was wrong.. I wouldn’t be blogging about this if I was right LOL

As part of our partnership, Pampers gave me some diapers… I mean a lot of diapers.. like 6 boxes of diapers! And I was like, there is no way that we can use all of it! Sati’s the only one using diapers and she only uses one a day.. one box of diaper can last up to 6 months..ang bongga di ba? I am truly blessed..and so, I thought (and also inspired by Please Be Careful episode) of sharing my blessing to those that needs it the most. I have one shelter in mind that’s could use this much diaper.. and the date, of course my birthday next year. Codename: BIRTHDAY PROJECT

After the Red Ribbon Party Planner event yesterday, I went straight to the shelter to talk to their manager/volunteers.. and the date is set! February 1, 2014! Ayayay!

Grabe, the babies there are so adorable and so playful! I spent a few minutes playing with the kids.. gusto ko sila iuwi lahat!

Our (Levy and me) beneficiary for our Birthday Project is  Grace to be born:

Grace to Be Born Maternity Home and Nursery is the youngest member of the womb to tomb ministry of Bo. It also caters to the youngest beneficiaries. Grace to Be Born was established in 2009 through the generous partnership of Basti and Betty Roxas-Chua who renovated their Pasig building and lent it rent-free to Grace to Be Born. The place serves as a temporary shelter for the unwed mothers and an orphanage for the children born there. With no questions asked, no deposit required for board and lodging, and no social standing asked for, Grace to Be Born has become a haven for the young ones to be born in, and a place where their mothers have a chance for emotional and spiritual rebirth.

Now that I already set the date with them, it’s time to look for sponsors. Of course, I will be maximizing this party/ activity as much as I can.. and contact all the possible sponsors that I know. I want to give all that I can to the shelter. Fatima of Grace to be Born gave me a list of what they need, excluding the sponsors that I will contact, here are the list:

Toiletries for Babies ( I am hoping I can contact Johnson and Johnson for this). If you have contact or know anyone from JnJ, I would greatly appreciate if you will share this page with them.. or introduce me to them so I can send my proposal.

Milk for pregnant (I am also planning to contact Anmum for this one).. I’m still looking for the calling card from Anmum, but if know someone from them, please.. please share this page to them.

Maternity Clothes for mommies (and also a few clothes post maternity so we can give something for them once they graduate from the shelter). This is where you come in my dear readers.. If you have maternity clothes and other clothes that you no longer use, you can donate it 🙂 

Milk for babies.. I read from somewhere that Milk companies are not allowed to donate milk (Milk Code.. correct me if I am wrong) and though I have contacts from Milk companies, let’s abide with the Milk Code.. and so I will be asking around for money donations on this one. This is specially for bloggers.. for every $20 (or equivalent in pesos) you donate, I will be putting link on my homepage (and mommy Levy’s blog) from the day you send the donation and will be up until March. I will also be publishing an update once in a while with the list of sponsors. You can contact me here: https://www.facebook.com/mommypehpot for the paypal address or the bank details.

They also need the following:

• Biscuits (wala akong kilala sa MY San, baka may kilala kayo? hehe)
• Vinegar
• Soy Sauce
• Cooking Oil
• Brown Sugar
• Cerelac for Babies

For companies and brands, as a way of gratitude, we will also display your banner on our homepage and will publish a post announcing you as one of our sponsors.

Bloggers who are free that day are welcome to party with us 🙂
