To be honest, I had low expectations of this site, solely because it just sounded too good to be true. But, wait now - while browsing through their market I was highly impressed by the amazing selection of deals and products, vacations and local deals they offered.
Now mommies, they contribute to Operation Incubation, a charity whose mission is to raise funds to purchase specifically engineered infant incubators and distribute them across the developing world. Every year, nearly 5 million infants die due to low birth rate and infection. Most of these deaths could be prevented by access to infant incubators. That's 450 an hour or one every 8 seconds. All of these deaths are avoidable. If that doesn't tug really hard on your heart strings, then I really don't know if you have a heart. Being a mom really puts a high priority on the concept of infant mortality. I am grateful everyday that I was lucky enough to have my child in a developed country where all needs were met. While some mommies worried about getting a designer birthing gown, other new moms worry about if their child will have the proper medical attention to save them.
If you have a moment, check them out. They really have an amazing idea here. Let's support them!
