Baby Strokes - Infant / Child Massage

15/07/2025

I don’t typically post asking people for something but like everyone have been shocked and saddened by the recent flooding events in Texas.
Babystrokes has helped where we can and I wanted to share a local resource that has an Amazon wish list which makes donating very easy. It is for the many flood victims and some items are baby related.

Just wanted to share the resource.

Hug your babies and Happy Massaging.
