Just got this e-mail forwarded to me. If you have the means to help -- please do.

Hi Friends and Colleagues,

We have a newly licensed Davis family that is opening their hearts and homes to a set of premature twins, a boy and a girl. It is anticipated that the babies will stay in the hospital for the next few weeks; I understand they will be released when they are holding their weight at 4 pounds or more and can be bottle fed for a full 24 hours, … predicated that all else is stable. What this means to the family, they will be required by the hospital to have 2 preemie car seats, we were told preferably new or purchased in the last couple of years, and a double stroller than can hold the car seats. I have looked on line, and the car seats alone seem to range from a low of $100 and go on up. Of course, they are also going to need premie clothes, and lots of diapers and supplies. Yes, they will be given 2 Target Essential Gift Cards and I am hoping that several of us might also have items to contribute to the cause. This family has not had babies in awhile as their daughters are in elementary and middle school; they are starting again from scratch. We are thinking that among us we may know of a family that recently had twins or preemies that we can get a few gently used items. I know many of us would love to offer to go and hold the babies; the hospital has strict restrictions on visitors and I want to assure you that infants are being lovingly taken care of. Our Yolo County foster family is already busy traveling daily to and from the hospital in Carmichael to hold and participate in feedings and changing the little ones; they are in beautiful hands.

As always, thanks to each of you for being there, Cherie
