According to Whitehouse.gov, “Nearly 1 in 3 American families struggle to afford enough diapers, which can lead to serious health problems”. Not only does this issue affect families with small children, but families with older children with disabilities or disabled adults.
Often someone on a limited income or government assistance struggles with getting diapers for loved ones. The frustration of not being able to buy diapers or running out of pull-ups before the next monthly check puts a burden on a caregiver. Due to the fact this happens frequently and the cost of disposable diapers, briefs, and pull-ups are expensive and unaffordable to those on limited incomes, North Carolina Medicaid implemented a paid diaper service offering diapers to low-income recipients.
