There is a mom with newborn in desperate need of a buggie, a baby cot and clothes for an 8 week old baby boy in Balseskin Direct Provision Centre. Please send us a message if you can help and we’ll connect you with the mom.
Anyone?

The person to talk to is the Community Welfare Officer at the Finglas Intreo office. The State provides payments for such things. cwsfinglas@welfare.ie
Tsk, tsk Joe, I wonder, are these posts genuine calls for help, or more campaigning against direct provision. Sadly, I strongly suspect the latter.
Could the mom not ask her family to send some money over?
Perhaps she can not locate her family Cormac.
The lady is obviously a new mum without resources; I didn’t know community welfare officer helps in such situations – but it’s good to see that direction from Joe above.
I am sure the SVP would also help.
We are, after all, one human family. Wishing her well.

Going to the Local health centre / community welfare officer is great advice for any new mum who is without
I gave all our buggies, cots, steriliser, even a breast pump and nursing bras
Also gave in boxes of nappies and training pull ups (unused)
and her trikes and walkers
I kept some occasion wear, a pair of shoes and her Christing gear alright
Another great advantage of getting to know your community nurses and social workers is that they can introduce the new mums to each other, and also their children get to have young friends of the same age that they can all develop and grow up together; up to an including starting school
Great suggestion Joe
