In celebration of its 50th birthday, Pampers is taking note of how much parenting has changed over the years, and is sharing their belief that every baby is a little miracle that deserves to be celebrated, supported and protected, by introducing the Little Miracle Mission Campaign! The idea of this campaign is to deliver acts of kindness to little miracles and their families, while encouraging parents to support others!
Pampers recently kicked off the campaign by donating care packages to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU’s) across the country. Celebs, Joey Lawrence, Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos and LaLa Anthony joined in on the campaign, and were on-hand in New York City where they personally delivered care packages and thank you baskets to Mt. Sinai Hospital and their staff.
You Can Get Involved with Mission #1
You can participate in the Miracles Mission program and support little miracles across the country by heading over to Pampers Facebook Page and completing Mission #1 – Pay-it-forward by congratulating and/or offering support to an expectant mother with a gift or surprise gesture. This seems pretty simple, doesn’t it? Once more than 2,500 people pledge that they achieved this mission, Pampers will respond by giving 1,000 baby showers to expectant mothers nationwide just in time for Mother’s Day! Pampers wants to continue to support little miracles, and will issue different missions throughout the entire year to celebrate all aspects of parenthood, and with the help of parents, family and friends, pampers hopes to touch the lives of every baby born in the next year!
Little Miracles Reader Challenge
I have been given the opportunity to touch the life of an expectant or new mother in my own community and with your help, I know we can make a big difference! Pampers has offered me $50 to help a family in my local community and I need YOUR HELP! I am asking all of you to offer your ideas of how to make a BIG impact for one local family with the $50! But wait, there’s more! I will also be awarding one “Deal”ectable Mommies reader with an additional $50 gift card to help a family in YOUR community!
Here’s How it Works: Leave a comment telling me how you will make a difference for a family in your community with the $50. Will you make a care basket? Use the $50 to gather additional sponsors and make the money really stretch? Hand over the gift card to a local family? I know you have plenty of ideas and I want to hear them!
Participants will have until Wednesday, May 4th, to get your comments in on this post! Myself, along with my co-judge, Kate, from The Shopping Mama, will pick what we feel to be the best “plan of action” out of all entries, and that person will be awarded with a $50 Visa Gift Card to put their plan into action!
I encourage you to watch this 60 second video and become inspired to join me in the Little Miracles Mission!
Disclaimer: I received $50 gift card from Pampers to help a family in my community. Pampers is also sponsoring the $50 giveaway. My thoughts and opinions remain my own.
I<3 this! My cousin had her first child last week after 10 years of TTC! Unfortunately she arrived 15 weeks early weighing in at a tiny 1 pound 8 ounces. She is doing fantastic in the NICU but it's hard with rising gas prices for her mother and father to make the near 1 hour round trip. I would use the $50 to help them pay for the gas it takes for them to spend as much time with their miracle baby as possible!
Thanks for the Chance

My brother is only 19 right now, as is his fiance. They both have jobs… and they are expecting a baby boy, my nephew, in July… I would love to help them out with buying them baby supplies because they are going to need all the help they can get! It would make me feel great as a sister that I was able to help them get diapers and other things. What a great thing Pampers is doing!
Oh wow, I would love to win this. My daughter has a friend who’s family is going through a really rough time and we have been helping them with food since they lost their food stamp assistance. If I were to win, I would take them grocery shopping!
A neighbor here just had a baby and she is also going through kidney dialysis. I would make up a bunch of meals for her to keep in her freezer.
I work with a local pregnancy recourse center here in Mobile, and I would love to win this, so I could make a basket for a pregnant teen. May times they don’t know where to turn, and we are the ones who can help them see the light at the end of the tunnel. When you are a pregnant 17 year old, and your family doesn’t approve you don’t usually get a shower so we try to make sure every girl has what she needs to prepare for her baby. Some babies aren’t planned, but it doesn’t make them any less of a blessing 🙂
Recently the Raleigh, NC area has been devastated by tornadoes so I would use the $50 to donate diapers and wipes to help those affected.
Wow – there are so many times a story has tugged on my heart strings and I have wanted to give $ – I would love to have the $50 to be able to do so! Most recently, the story that made national news about local school children who are homeless (living in hotels) who go to bed hungry most nights. To hear those kids talk about being hungry for days… no child should be hungry. I would convert the $50 Visa into two $25 grocery cards and head down to a local food bank and help feed those families!
I’d love to donate it to the Gathering Place, a home for homeless and abused women, many of who have small children. I’d love to spend $25 on baby products and $25 on necessities for the moms.
There is a family in my community who lost EVERYTHING to last week’s tornado. They lost their house, their car, everything. The wife of this couple is pregnant with their first baby and due in about 3 weeks. I would love to be able to bless them with this as they work their way out of the trauma they’ve just (and are currently) experiencing.
I would definitely give the gift card to a family in need. What a wonderful program this is!
Every year my husband and I go to the battered womans thrift store and donate everything we don’t need as well as donate some of our time. I would love to give this to them, protecting woman in danger is an important thing.
If I won I would use the $50 as a starting point and use some of my own money to make a small basket full of little things that I know they would like as well as some fun and inexpensive things that I know our family loves to do together. I think that including these things would allow them to use the $50 for how they really need it and at the same time know that someone really does care about them.
I would love to use the $50 to help a family in my community that has a little boy that was born with kidney failure. He has proven the doctors wrong at every turn and is flourishing but the expenses the family is enduring is sometimes more than they can handle. I would love to have the $50 to help them with necessities such as diapers and the rest toward his kidney transplant fund.
I would definitely help out a friend of mine with a baby in the NICU!
I would love to donate the gift card to the Dunn Family. Officer Andrew Dunn in Sandusky,OH was shot & killed in the line of duty last month. He leaves behind a wife, and 2 very young children.
I would like to put a New Mommy basket together, with diapers, wipes, and little extras, like onesies.

We often donate to an outreach program for unwed mothers and their children. Thanks to diligent couponing, I have been able to donate diapers, formula, clothing and toys. Right now, they have Enfamil Formula, Hair Detangler, Brushes, Antibacterial Soap, and Bubble Bath on their Immediate Needs list. I would most likely shop for something on that list to donate.
We have a single parent mom in our neighborhood who recently lost here job.
I know she’s really struggling so I would be so happy to give this to her.
I’ve been a single mom and know how difficult finances can be.
Thank you.
I would give it to my local church to help a family in need
I would use it to help a local charity that is for teen moms!
