Donations

Hey friends! We're getting all geared up here getting ready to fly to Ethiopia.....Part of what we get to bring is donations.....I sent a list of questions to some people from our agency who adopted kiddos aged 2-4 and one of the questions I asked was: What is one thing you wished you would've known before traveling to Ethiopia? As part of the response, a friend wrote, "For the practical part-pack light.....After you are there you will wish you had more donations." So....it is our goal to bring as many donations as we can for both trips....If you would like to purchase any of these items or if you have these things laying around your house, please email me at treviscATyahoo.com (use the at symbol;) We would be so grateful!:) They prefer the clothes to be new and diapers, formula, and containers to be sealed. One side note....they do not wear shorts in Ethiopia. It is a cultural thing. Anything else is fabulous!! Thanks in advance! The toys can be "like new". If any of you have a medical resource that can get any of the medicines, please let me know.
