Donations for triplets still being collected
The Lincoln Area Families of Multiples Club will continue collecting donations, diapers, supplies and gear for the identical triplets of Logan and Misty Roots.
The triplets were born June 20 at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center. They are all doing very well, and are expected to come home sometime later this month.
Identical triplets are extremely rare, occurring in one out of every 50,000 to 200 million births. Misty, 21, and Logan, 28, were surprised by the pregnancy and even more surprised when they learned their family would double in size. Their daughter Fianna is 17 months old.
Donations for the family may be dropped off at First Lutheran Church, 70th and A streets from 9 to 4:30 p.m. weekdays through July 18.
According to organizers, the couple is no longer in need of baby swings, and has received quite a few donations of clothing. Diapers, wipes, a double stroller and exersaucers are still needed.
Financial donations may be mailed to the Lincoln Area Families of Multiples Club and earmarked for Logan and Misty Roots triplets. Send donations to P.O. Box 5911, Lincoln, NE 68505.
For more information call club coordinator Monica Smith at 420-5069 or e-mail webmaster@lincolnmultiples.org.
