W**d In Pregnancy? A Doctor's Thoughts
Our youth seem to think that the de-criminalization of cannabis gives them the permission to smoke. It does not. Please, listen to this medical doctor talk about cannabis and the effects on your pregnancy and the brain of your child that is being fed THC /CBD.

I am for truth,
No matter who tells it
I am for justice,
No matter who it’s for or
Against,
I’m a human being
First and foremost , and as such
I am for whomever and
Whatever benefits
Humanity as a whole.

Today we had an unexpected blessing from Ralph Bazillo who called to ask if we accepted food. Of course, I said YES and at 7pm he bought by eight boxes filled with vegetables, milk and fruits.

"All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors--in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver." (Mr Rogers quote) We want to thank the Spallone family and friends for sponsoring our families today. A special thank you to families4familiesDMV and fair chance.
We have been blessed by many angels during this time expanding the well of goodness for our families . Thank you @Families4FamiliesDMV we are so thankful

Great Day All. I am a mother looking to give away clothes. My dear daughter is growing fast and I do not anticipate having another child any time soon. Does anyone know of any organizations, working directly with single mothers or teen parents, in need of clothes and/or toys? Any feedback is appreciate.

The Healthy Babies Project is scrambling to raise money to try to keep its home, a one-level brick building that serves all at once as classroom and office space and home to a half-dozen toddlers and their moms.
The landlord wants to sell the building, with no guarantee that a new owner would continue to rent it to Healthy Babies Project. So the organization is trying to raise money so that it can buy the building itself.
John Vaughan and I started your first fathers mentoring program as volunteers.
