Description

Our "Special Parents" Giveway  event is for parents with children who have special needs. Having a baby can be fun and overwhelming at the same time. If the child has special needs , it can be more demanding and have a toll on parents. It can also be financially draining taking care of kids with special needs. We are organizing this event to help these parents financially and emotionally by giving away gift cards  and baby esentials like diapers, baby gears and other basic necessities . We have a facebook page with over 2000 fans. We are such a close knit fan page  and call our kids "oohs kids". We wish them happy birthdays and announce their births. We also do monthly giveaways for our fans. We have so far about 200  families that have kids with special needs. We know this because when  we do our "diapers for a  year"  giveway, we let people tell their stories through emails  why the think they should win and we get stories of needing help because child needs special care. We want to put a smile on the faces of these parents. We want to do a giveaway just for our special parents  and hoping we can give at least 100 families. This event will be done in March on our facebook page.
