1 in 2 Indiana Families Struggle to Afford Diapers

Apr 22, 2025

Happy Spring the Premier Life Family!

I hope you all enjoyed your Easter celebrations rejoicing in the resurrection of the Risen King! This time of year, I am always in awe of how we sometimes minimalize the heavy sacrifice that Christ paid on the cross so we can spend eternity with Him in Heaven. Remembering the ultimate price that Jesus paid reminds me of his never-ending love and how easy it should be to love and serve others.

Speaking of service…The Premier Life of Carmel is gearing up for our annual Diaper Drive!!! The week of Monday, April 28th through Friday, May 2nd, current practice members can bring in any size donation of diapers, wipes, and creams. All donations will be given to the Indiana Diaper Bank. This non-profit organization helps supply families who are unable to afford diapers with basic diapering necessities. Since I have not been at Premier for very long, I did a little research on the Indiana Diaper Bank. Here are some interesting facts I learned:

1.     1 in 2 families in Indiana struggle to afford diapers.

2.     On a monthly average it costs $100 to diaper one child.

3.     There are currently no government programs that help cover the cost of diapers.

4.     Families often sacrifice food or other basic needs to purchase basic diaper necessities.

The Indiana Diaper Bank has distributed over 12 million diapers and 46,000 packages of wipes. They have worked tirelessly through the support of over 70 partner agencies and donors to diaper over 356,000 children in need. To continue to serve the community, they are in constant need of donations of diapers, wipes, and creams to help as many families and children as possible.

This is how you can help!! Please bring in any size donation of diapers, wipes, and creams from the week of April 28th through May 2nd. Current practice members will receive 15% on any supplement purchase the day of the donation!

Do you know anyone in your life who isn’t already receiving chiropractic care that could benefit from chiropractic? This is your chance to get them into the office! Any new patient can receive the first initial appointment free of charge when they bring in any size donation of diapers, wipes, and/or creams. This is normally $334 value, at no out-of-pocket cost. Invite your friends, family members, and other loved ones who haven’t yet seen the miracles that neurologic-based chiropractic care can provide to take advantage of this amazing offer, while simultaneously loving and serving our local neighbors.

We are so excited for the Diaper Drive to start and hope to once again make a real impact on our community by loving those around us. If you have any questions about the Diaper Drive or want to learn more, don’t hesitate to ask any of our team members or any of our doctors. Thank you for taking this journey with us to bring some joy and hope to those less fortunate than we are.

I hope you are filled with a lot more love, a lot more hope, and a lot more gratitude following this Holy Week.

Blessings-

Dr. Kaytlynn
