    Totebags, New Babies/Expectant Parents - Please Make Sure Mailing Address is Correct

    We recently got returned 4 hope totebags to our main office. This is something that happens monthly, getting a couple of shipments returned for various reasons.

    These totebags are expensive for us to mail out and we would appreciate that all families with new CDH babies still in the NICU and expectant families to please make sure their mailing address is correct in their profile upon signing up. Please don't use a bogus address, for we do not share this info. with anyone. We do use your mailing address to mail out these totebags. Unfortunately due to the high costs of shipping, we are unable to send out a second bag. If you would like to pay the postage ($20 in shipping and handling), we would be more than happy to try resending the totebag to you. All totebags are mailed within 2 to 4 weeks of joining CHERUBS. If you have a question about a totebag, please send our Parent Advisory Board an email at cpab@cherubs-cdh.org.



    CHERUBS H.O.P.E. (Helping Other Parents Expecting) Totebag Program assists families expecting babies born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia by providing them with much needed free information and support items through a community project in which all CDH families can participate and honor their children while helping new families affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

    Donated items are collected by our members, CDH families and friends and put together into totebags by volunteers. Totebags are then mailed to families who are expecting babies born with CDH or who have newborns still hospitalized and battling Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

    You can make a donation here, http://www.cherubs-cdh.org/support/totebag-project.

    You can mail donations here:

    We also send out totebags in the UK. If you are currently living in the UK and would like to donate, please email our International UK Reps. at uk@cherubs-cdh.org for further mailing instructions.

    Please make sure dates are listed too for your cherubs. If you want them listed in our special days, on our calendars or when we do special listings in December or remembrance days, we needs dates and also for you to mark yes to publishing permission.

    We had a totebag returned from Canada this week for an incomplete address, please verify addresses listed in your profiles if you are expecting and have recently joined CHERUBS. Thank you!

    Just bumping this thread up, for we continue to have totebags returned to us for incomplete or not correct addresses. I know so many don't like to share that type of information, but we need accurate mailing addresses for these totebags to be received. Please read the first message in this thread. Thank you!!
