Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife Mariah Antetokounmpo makes heartfelt appeal to support Milwaukee diaper mission
Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife, Mariah Antetokounmpo, appealed for childcare to 189K followers on Instagram. The Milwaukee Bucks star's wife posted a picture of her along with her family featuring her husband and three children.
She wrote a long caption urging parents to give attention to childcare and announcing her plans to help struggling parents acquire basic needs for their children.
"When I became a mom, I quickly realized just how expensive raising a child can be. It’s heartbreaking to know that 1 in 2 families in Milwaukee struggle to afford diapers and wipes, basic needs every parent should have access to. Giannis and I feel incredibly blessed to be able to provide for our kids, but it’s our deep belief that no parent should ever have to choose between diapers and other essentials like food.
"That’s why our family is so passionate about supporting Milwaukee Diaper Mission, and how our partnership began four years ago with “Maverick’s Diaper Mission” to give back in celebration of our second son’s birth," Mariah wrote.
Later in the caption, Mariah said that with the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation, the Milwaukee Diaper Mission distributed millions of diapers to those in need.

Mariah and the Milwaukee Bucks star posted several pictures of their daughter on her first birthday in a shared post.
"Happy 1st Birthday to our little princess. The sweetest little girl in our house full of crazy. Mommy, daddy and your brothers love you baby girl," she wrote.
The first picture on the post featured a close shot of Giannis and Mariah holding their daughter, Eva, in their arms. The remaining pictures featured moments from Eva's first year in this world.
