Still Collecting Items for the Mercy Home

We are fine-tuning the items collected for the Mercy Home and have a few things we could add.

We just wanted to put this out there in case there’s someone that still wants to donate something:

** cash is always welcome for those items that are still missing in some bags as we continue to fine-tune them. (We used most of the donated cash already for a few extra backpacks and some new clothing items.) We’re going on faith that the airlines will allow us to take extra humanitarian  luggage for FREE so we will use all the cash for the kids.   

** we are looking for 3 used hockey bags that you no longer need to ship these bulky backpacks in.

** we would like to spruce up the older girls’ bags with some new clothing (2 girls age 14 and 2 girls age 10).  The little kids have enough new colorful items.  

**New things needed: some towels for older kids, washcloths for all,  girl’s D.O., pencil crayons, personal notebooks/journal & nice pen for especially the older kids, and any other practical (or not) which would be enjoyed by these orphans.

Does anyone have good connections with a dentist that could donate extra toothbrushes and toothpaste? If you have a connection, please ask. There’s never enough toothbrushes in Africa!

We have plenty of used clothing and shoes to bring along as extras for the orphanage caregivers to hand out to other needy children in their community.
 
THANK YOU so much for all the items already donated!!! You are such a blessing to these precious children!!!
