Local Staten Island business RoxiesShop.com, specializing in unique products and gifts for expectant mothers, has donated a very large 5-tier Unisex "Baby Shower Diaper Cake" to be among the event’s silent auctioned items. The diaper cake includes a large assortment of items any family expecting a baby would find useful.
"We pack our Baby Diaper Cakes with a big assortment of disposable diapers along with many of the necessities a new baby needs," said Ricardo John, President and CEO of Roxie’s Shop, Inc. See descriptions and photos of the novel baby diaper cake at: http://www.roxiesshop.com/custom.em?pid=69143
Shaken Baby Prevention, Inc. was founded by Catherine Sanders who is a mother of a shaken baby survivor. Sanders’ son, Ryan Mac Sanders, was shaken two months after his birth by his childcare provider and now suffers from cerebral palsy, visual impairment and mental retardation. The company is a non-profit corporation in the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. areas that promotes awareness of the often little-known dangers of shaking a baby out of anger and frustration. The corporation also acts as a charity to assist families with children who have all types of special needs and provides services such as supplying disabled children with medical equipment.
"I think it’s a wonderful thing she’s doing. I think it’s got potential to benefit a lot of people all across the United States," said John.
