When it comes to basketball, Dwyane Wade is the biggest name in Miami Heat history. However, his love for the city transcends the court, as evidenced by his recent act of support for the Miami Diaper Bank. While he had to make the tough decision of leaving with his family to a more accepting community, Wade’s actions conveyed an enduring affection for Miami, one that goes beyond sports.

The Miami Diaper Bank was born from the compassion of Jonah Schaechter. He was a young boy when an NPR talk inspired him to address the pressing need for diapers. His small community service project evolved into a full-fledged diaper bank. It’s driven by a genuine desire to help low-income families in Miami.

Through tireless efforts and dedication, Jonah and his family founded the first diaper bank in the city, raising awareness about the necessity for diaper donations.
