Meet the Founder
Hello! I'm Baylie, a college student who started Totty's Totes my junior year in high school because I wanted to make a difference in the world and serve the Lord. Ms. Totty had a huge impact on my life and always inspired me to live out what the Lord had planned for me. When she passed away, I felt God calling me to start a ministry but I had no idea where to even begin. After a year of praying for the right opportunity to come along, I met the founder of Bring your Brokenness, now known as Charis Eating Disorder Care, and a representative from One More Child. The mission of these two organizations really moved me and I believed that I had found the perfect opportunity to start a faithful ministry. Once I started sharing the idea of what I wanted to do, the response was truly amazing. I had no idea this ministry would be able to grow the way that it did. We also donate bags to First Coast Women's Services and The Nest, A Women's Center. Both of these organizations help women facing unexpected pregnancy. I am thankful for all the people God has put in place to make this ministry grow and thrive as a non profit organization. I am excited to watch Totty's Totes continue to grow and expand to reach as many women and girls as we can.
Our History
Totty's Totes was founded in 2022 in memory of the late Ms. Totty Conway who truly loved all those who came across her path. She was a kind and caring lady who showed everyone what a true follower of Jesus looked like. If you needed a prayer warrior in your life, Ms. Totty was the person you wanted in your corner. She was a very influential person in Baylie's life. Her life story and testimony of a relationship with Jesus helped lead Baylie to Christ. When Ms. Totty passed away, Baylie was inspired to start this organization as a way to share the love of Jesus to others in the way that Ms. Totty did.

What's Inside TOtty's TOtes
A Bible
The main purpose of our Totes is to share the love of Jesus. What better way to share the love of Jesus than providing a copy of God's Word. Inside each Bible there is a card about Ms. Totty and a little reminder that the founder of this ministry is praying for them.
Tolietry Items
Since most of the girls receiving Totty's Totes have little to nothing, the totes are filled with basic hygiene items such as shower gel, lotion, deodorant, a toothbrush, and tooth paste.
Hair Products
Totty's Totes also include a hair brush, hair ties, shampoo and conditioner.
Encouraging Gifts
Gifts of encouragement are also put in each one of Totty's Totes. We include hand made items like pocket hugs, a cross, and hand sewn cosmetic bags, as well as a journal, pens, stickers, and scripture cards.
Pampering Items
Sometimes a little pampering goes a long way to uplift your spirts. We include items such as lip gloss, a bath sponge, cozy socks, face mask, foot cream, and nail polish.
Hand Sewn Tote Bag
All of Totty's Totes are hand sewn by loving women using their talents and seamstress skills to make unique bags to bless others.
