💕 Donation Request: Baby Swings (Plug-In Preferred)
Hello everyone! 👋

I’m currently looking for baby swings to help support a family in need. Ideally, we’re hoping for:

✅ Plug-in baby swing (preferred)
✅ New or gently used
✅ Clean and in good working condition

If you have a swing you’re no longer using — or are able/willing to donate a new one — it would make a huge difference for a family who could really use a bit of extra support right now.

Please send me a message if you’re able to help, or share this with someone who might! 💛

Thank you so much! 🙏
