As you know, the La Bump team is committed to providing a non-invasive forum for you to buy sell and trade your maternity, baby and kids’ items. We are committed to providing that forum in a no strings attached way! With that said, we are reaching out to you today to ask for help with something that is very near and dear to our hearts. As you may know, La Bump was started by three sisters. One of us, my sister Beth, lives in Houston and has been dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. She was without power for two weeks but, thank goodness, she and her family are safe and sound. Lots of people in Houston are still very much in need, however. We think the La Bump community can help with one very specific need.
There is a critical need for items for newborns in the Houston community. Many relief efforts do not focus on this need. Please help me gather together supplies for these little ones! Many people are still rebuilding and trying to recover from weeks away from work without pay. We can help! We are willing to collect FORMULA, DIAPERS, and BABY FOOD and bring them to Houston's Local Infant Formula for Emergencies (LIFE) office (check out www.lifehouston.org). Beth lives in the Houston Heights and will be dropping off all that she can collect to that office. Of course, donations of money are also a HUGE help to Life Houston.
We have created a “Hurricane Ike Relief” location on www.LaBump.com where you can get more info about donating. Or, feel free to simply email me (Jill@LaBump.com) or Beth (Beth@Labump.com) to coordinate dropping off your donation. If it's easier, please bring your items directly to the LIFE office closest to you! Either way, please let us know what you plan to do - the La Bump community can make a BIG difference!!!

About Us
- Jill Beth & Jennie
- www.LaBump.com was created by 3 sisters with the help of our mother, better known as “Amma” to all of our little ones. We believe that every woman should have access to fabulous maternity clothing and beautiful, gently used children’s clothing and gear. We spent years sending the same old box o’ maternity clothes back and forth to each other in an effort to share cute maternity wear among sisters. Finally, we concluded that there must be more women out there like us, looking for maternity clothing and gently used toys and items for their little ones. We started this site as a way to expand our own network and hopefully help other mommies do the same. As every smart mommy knows, one of the ultimate forms of recycling is recirculating gently used items for children and mothers. We have put a new spin on typical hand me down clothing by creating a network of women in your city who can buy sell and trade maternity clothing and accessories and gently used clothing, toys, and gear for our little ones.
