Sending so many blessings to mama and baby!!! I have a basket of supplies, clothes, diapers, a carrier, car seat & other needed items for mama and baby that I’d love to get to them. If anyone knows the mother Please have her or a friend send me an email [email protected] so I can get this to her right away. Thank you 🙏
Omg 😱 poor thing. I hope mom n child are taken in sooner than not.
It does make me stop and wonder, how many children have been born along the river? A lot a whole lot. With many more to come.
This new idea of hospitals being birthing factories … doesn’t follow the time honored traditions. A strong baby might catch a bad virus in there. The mother could never leave.
Maybe, but in my family and my husband’s family, there are a number of great-great grandmothers (and one mother/grandmother) who died in childbirth at home, on the river, wherever. The “new idea” of hospitals ain’t all that bad, if you are the one giving birth.
Best wishes to the mother and new baby. Hopes for them to find a warm home for the winter.
this is now way to enter the world, I hope in the near future we can and will do better for situation like this.
Didn’t this exact thing happen last year around this time…seriously having Daja Vu here!
Congratulations, new Mom!
Really ??? The poor baby is probably an addict already . Very sad
Really? You know no information about this situation but you throw that garbage out there about a new precious life?
My mother told me if you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut!
You should practice that. Oh yeah, just because a person doesn’t have a roof over their head doesn’t make them an addict.
You need to help your brothers and sisters in your community not spread false information about a situation you know nothing about.
Excuse me I know the Garberville homeless situation very well. Most are Not capable of being Mamas. Hoping baby can stay with mom and get housing!
The Messiah!
