This month Love Drop is helping out Jeff and Becca Nevin from Indianapolis. Jeff and Becca currently have 4 children and they are getting ready to bring home 3 more. Becca Nevin recently gave birth to triplets. Unfortunately they were born very underweight, and the newborn triplets have lived the beginning of their lives in a hospital room.
I know that we are all (or at least most of us are) DINKS and we don’t have Kids, but I hope that we can find it in our hearts to help out his ever growing family in need. Jeff and Becca Nevin are currently experiencing some financial hardships. They are currently living in a small mobile home, and it’s about to seem a lot smaller when the 3 new babies come home. Love Drop would love to help the Nevin Family move into a single family home.
As DINKS we may not have kids, but we definitely may have experienced financial hardships ourselves. I know that over the last 3-4 years my personal financial situation has changed, and I know that some of you have also lived through financial hardship. So even though we may not have kids, we can understand what it’s like for the Nevin Family to experience financial hardships.
This month’s Love Drop hits extra close to home for me because I myself lived the first few months of my life in a hospital. I was born 6 weeks premature and although I don’t remember that time of my life, I will never forget it.
Jeff and Becca Nevin need our help so they can help their (ever growing) family have a better life. If you are not yet a Love Drop member you can sign up online to make regular monthly contributions; even $1 per month can help out a family in need.
Here are some other ways that you can help the Nevin Family:
- Send Some Baby Stuff – Anything baby-related that costs money on a recurring basis – specifically diapers, formula and clothes. Gift cards for all things baby to stores like Wal-Mart or Target would also be helpful.
- Give a Gift or Service – Services are extra helpful. We love giving services that you can offer yourselves or from your company.
- Share this Site with Others – Tweet about Love Drop, Like Us on Facebook, and share it with any friends or family you think would be interested. The more we get the word out, the more we can help the triplets!

Is it rude to suggest that if you already have four kids and are living in a trailer, perhaps you cannot afford to have three more kids?
Barb has a point. The reason we’re DINKS is because we’d rather spend our money on ourselves than on ungrateful children. So why on Earth would I just give my money away to SOMEONE ELSE’S children? The Nevins CHOSE to have kids, just as I CHOSE not to. I’m not unsympathetic to their plight, and it sounds like they’re in for some rough times ahead. But they had the opportunity to make the same choice we did, and instead they chose to go ahead and have children, and that has consequences. It’s no secret that kids are expensive, yet they went ahead and had 7 anyway. I wish them all the best. But that’s all I’m sending them – wishes. We all have to make it on our own, and times are tough for all of us.
