ICOA is a partner agency of HappyBottoms to provide families with diapers to help them keep their children clean, dry, and healthy.
Research has proven repeatedly that a dry diaper is the number one solution for preventing child abuse.
Statistically, a child is most likely to be abused under the age of one. A child is statistically most vulnerable for abuse after prolonged periods of crying. A child is most likely to cry when feeling pain or discomfort. Many impoverished children have to wear the same diaper for up to three days. A soiled diaper will inevitably cause painful rashes, abscesses, or lesions to the precious little one. The combination of a child with continuing burning pain, along with an already overwhelmed parent, makes for a dangerous situation.
ICOA is a partner agency of HappyBottoms to provide families with diapers to help them keep their children clean, dry, and healthy.
As a partner agency of HappyBottoms, ICOA is committed to increasing the number of families who have enough diapers to keep their children clean, dry, and healthy.
Having fresh diapers reduces the risk of child abuse.
ICOA also distributes materials created by HappyBottoms on Diapering Tips, Stress Tips, and Potty Training 101 to families.
Children are eligible to receive diapers through HappyBottoms if they are less than four years old, their families are experiencing financial need and they live in the one of the following counties: Wyandotte, Johnson, Cass, Clay or Jackson county.
Soon, ICOA will provide bilingual Bibles so that the families who receive diapers can spend happy hours reading together.
Currently 100 young children receive their monthly supply of diapers from HappyBottoms at ICOA.
