Pampers Little Miracle Missions Campaign (and Giveaway) CLOSED

In celebration of its 50^th birthday, Pampers is recognizing how much parenting has changed over the years, and is sharing their belief that every baby is a little miracle that deserves to be celebrated, supported and protected, by unveiling its Little Miracle Mission campaign – a program that delivers acts of kindness to miracles and their families while encouraging parents to support others. 

The brand recently kicked off the Little Miracle Missions campaign by delivering a giant act of support –donating care packages to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) across the country.  Celebs Joey Lawrence , Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos and LaLa Anthony were on-hand in New York City to personally deliver a care package and thank you basket to Mt. Sinai Hospital and their staff. 

YOU can easily participate in the Miracles Missions programs, and support little miracles across the country, by logging on to Pampers Facebook page (Facebook.com/Pampers). Pampers is also asking everyone to pay-it-forward by participating in the first Little Miracle Mission- to congratulate and offer support to an expectant mother with a gift or surprise gesture.  Once more than 2,500 people pledge that they have achieved this mission, Pampers will respond by giving baby showers to expectant mothers nationwide just in time for Mother’s Day. Pampers will issue different missions throughout the entire year to celebrate all aspects of parenthood, and with the help of parents, family and friends, they hope to touch the lives of every baby born in the next year. 

As part of this campaign, Pampers challenged ME to take $50 to find a way to celebrate, support or protect a new little miracle in my community.  I jumped at this chance to help make a small difference in my community. I considered doing something for a local NICU or local ministry.  But decided to use this opportunity to bless one family, but I didn't really have anyone in mind.  So I reached out to Facebook.  I asked if any of my friends knew someone who had recently had a baby and was in need of a little extra help.  Almost immediately I got two responses.  One was from a family member who had a friend who'd had a baby girl recently.  The baby was born a month early.  While the baby was doing well, the early arrival of the baby was then followed by the discovery of some very fast growing tumors in her mothers uterus.  In less than two months from the birth of her daughter the tumors grew from the size of peas to the size of oranges.  After surgery she was informed she had stage 2 cancer.  So not only is this healthy baby girl a little miracle all on her own, she brought another miracle to her mother because they fully believe without her birth and necessary follow up appointment, these growths would have gone unnoticed until it was too late. 

When I contacted this mother to see if there was anything that would really be of help to her, she told me that while she had been able to take a standard 6 week maternity leave, her job had informed her that they weren't sure they could guarantee they could keep her job open for the additional treatment and recovery time she needed now.  She said the one thing that they had planned to purchase upon her return to work was a dresser for her baby girl's clothes and now they weren't sure they'd be able to do that.  Armed with the gift card that Pampers had sent to accomplish my mission, I wasnt' sure I could find a dresser within that budget.
But then there was that second reply I got to my Facebook message.  An amazing lady who has blessed our family on MANY occasions had jumped up and said that she wanted to help in the mission.  So between Pampers, my amazing friend and a little from us, I was able to find this cute little dresser to help out a family who MORE than deserves it.

And now thanks to Pampers you can take this challenge to be part of this great Little Miracle Missions Campaign.

Enter to receive a $50 AMEX gift card from Pampers to use to bless some Little Miracles in your own community.

I would use this gift card to help a family with a preemie that I am very close too. The baby boy just came home with his Daddy. (Currently his mother is not in the home) I LOVE this little baby boy and would love to help them out in any way possible.
