The Yarn Stork is all about seeing children strive. Here are some other notable charities we would like to mention that are worth checking out.

• KIDS IN NEED- School supplies cost an arm and a leg these days. The families who are struggling to make both ends meet can hardly be expected to buy school supplies for their kids (let alone an entire class). This is where Kids in Need comes into action. This organization strives hard to provide the essentials to the most deserving students. This has a dramatic effect on the overall attitude towards studies in students.

• REACH OUT AND READ- This organization works under a fascinating philosophy. Doctors and nurses are trained to educate the parents of sick kids, about the value of reading. Not only that, but they have also already given books to more than 1.7 million kids!

• NEWBORNS IN NEED- This is one of the great charities for women and children in the USA, which provides clothing and blankets to the newly born but financially unstable parents and their babies. Babies need extreme care when they are born, a lack of facilities can prove detrimental to their health. Apart from clothing, the organization provides diapers and bottles as well, for newborn babies.

•  ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL- Supports families and children who are battling childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Their research hospital in Memphis, Tennessee is on a quest for new treatment options and cures, while providing completely free stays for families.

• EVERY MOTHER COUNTS- This organization is on a direct mission to provide all mothers with adequate maternity care, in an effort to reduce the hundreds of thousands of deaths each year due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

• POSTPARTUM SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL- A non-profit organization serving the needs of pregnant, post-loss, and postpartum women and families all over the world. Their volunteers provide informed support and resources at no cost to women and their families. They operate under limited resources and welcome your donation to assist them with their mission. P.S. Daddies can have postpartum, too!
