With many families struggling to cover daily expenses such as rent, food, utilities, and daily necessities. Guided Principles hopes to help support young adult parents and teen parents with the daily essentials needed for their child. With diapers being such a huge need in many communities, our main priority is assisting families with providing them with the diapers needed to make sure their babies can stay fresh and dry throughout the day and night. Guided Principles also focus on ensuring children are provided with the daily essentials needed for healthy development.
" Being a parent can be tough. Just remember that in your child's eyes, nobody does it better than you.
