Nina Acosta, the Area Coordinator for Riverside Binky Patrol, told us, “When I started doing this with my daughter 15 years ago, I didn’t think that it would still be here!” Susan asked her the reason she’s still in Binky Patrol and her favorite part. Nina says it’s the stories. Knowing the difference a binky their chapter made given to one child keeps them all going. Being able to immediately handle the need of a child or family in their community is another driving force keeping them motivated. Nina says, “If somebody calls me and says, ‘Hey, I’ve got a, a friend that their house burned down’ or ‘I’ve got some kids and that mom’s struggling, they don’t have blankets, and they’re freezing,’ just knowing that because of this, I can help them. It might not be a lot it’s, but it’s enough for what they need at the time.”
