'I put food back to buy nappies and cried - now I help others,' says LadBaby Mum
“I’ll never give up hope for these people. I’ll always donate. I’m always putting nappies and wipes in the baskets at the end of tills,” she says.
- There are over 200 baby banks in the UK, and they run out of shops, community centres, warehouse units and even people’s living rooms and garages. She says: “I was at a checkout in Aldi and I had a £20 note in my hand for all the food and everything we had to have - nappies, wipes, everything. She says: “I had been working and never would have deemed myself in a situation where I needed help.”
“We were just a working class family. I had to give up my job because I couldn’t afford childcare costs - it was the cost of a mortgage.” Roxanne has advised struggling mums to “use what you have” because “the love that you can give your children is far more valuable” than being able to buy them new toys.
