Pagan Assistance Fund issues call to Aid Expectant Mother

The Pagan Assistance Fund has issued a call for assistance for a soon-to-be mother of a baby boy. She isn’t due right away but needs to get together things she can’t afford. She is in need of pretty much everything in the way of items to care for a newborn. Items that have been mentioned include a crib, changing table, car seat, blankets, clothing, bottles and basically anything else you need for a newborn. If you have any of these items that you don’t need anymore and are willing to pass them to a member of our community that is in need may contact Lady Charissa at ladycharissa@ngsolitaries.com.
