In a child’s first year, parents spend 31% of their income on newborn expenses. Tell Congress: Financial strain should NEVER stop a family from thriving. [[link removed]]

John,
Welcoming a new baby should be joyful.
But for too many families, those precious moments are clouded by stress.
2.3 million women across rural America live in maternal care deserts – and more than half of all rural counties don’t have a single obstetrician.
With so few resources, newborn supply kits are proven to relieve financial stress, improve maternal well-being and support infant health by providing postpartum care essentials.
That’s why we’re urging Congress to pass the Newborn Essentials Support Toolkit (NEST) Act.
The NEST Act is a simple, proven step toward healthier moms and babies. Please, push your lawmakers to support it! [[link removed]]

NEST Act supply kits would help newborns transition safely from hospital to home, providing:
* Diapers, wipes and rash ointment
* Cozy blankets, swaddles and socks
* Breastfeeding essentials
* Newborn shampoo and lotion
12 states have already piloted this program with incredible results.
Parents feel less financial pressure. Mothers are healthier, mentally and physically. Babies are more secure in their first fragile weeks.
John, every family deserves the same powerful support. Will you urge Congress to pass the NEST Act? [[link removed]]
Thanks for taking a stand,
Denali Drake
