Baby Hope was left in a toilet at about 11am that day and from the moment she was discovered, kindhearted women helped her in any way they possibly could. In an effort to make sure she has everything she needs, Key West’s Centre management launched a clothing drive for her.
On Thursday, 18 May, the centre contacted the News to come and collect a trolley full of products for baby Hope. Nappies, bottles, clothes and even wet wipes filled the cart to the brim. These were donated by shoppers and some stores in the centre.
