The pro-equestrian wrote, “Join me in supporting this mission and raising awareness for families everywhere,” urging her fans to take a step toward a better society. The post relates that diapers are minimal necessities, just like food, clothing, and shelter. However, they are excluded from most schemes run by the state and federal governments.

NDBN concentrates on this gap in demand and supply, and works to promote the donation and distribution of wipes and diapers for children in need. Sharing a post from the official NDBN account, Jenn captioned it as, “#EndDiaperNeed.” Born with a philanthropic outlook, Jenn was the cornerstone for the establishment of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
