Email that went out in early November:
Hello Friends,
Guess what?! I'm going to Haiti! God has miraculously provided some funding, and I'm going to visit Pastor Val and the orphanage, and some old friends in Port au Prince in January. I think I also have two others coming along, and we can each take up to 100 pounds of checked luggage. I plan to fill up those bags with socks, underwear, school supplies, vitamins and other needed supplies. There are approximately 30 children, boys and girls, aged 3-17.
Would you and your family consider donating some items, maybe as part of your Christmas gifting? Even if it's just one item, every little bit helps. I don't mind taking used things, if they are in excellent condition.
Here is a list:
socks
black or dark blue tennis shoes
underwear
bras
short-sleeved t-shirts
pants for boys
skirts/dresses for girls (remember - it's hot there)
multi-vitamins
bandaids
antibiotic cream (like Neosporin)
first-aid kits
toothpaste
Thank you so much! I'll keep you posted with forthcoming details.
