With an estimated 40 days until we travel to Haiti to bring R.J. home, we are beginning to plan ahead for our trip. It is customary for anyone traveling to an overseas orphanage to take along some donations, and we will be able to take 100-150 lbs. of supplies with us. We asked Molly for ideas of things that could be used at the Toddler House where R.J. lives, and we now have a list to share with anyone who might wish to contribute something to our collection of donations to take to Haiti.
Click here to download the list.There are 65 kids, ages 2 and up, who live at the Toddler House at God's Littlest Angels orphanage. Just imagine the numbers of supplies they go through -- for instance, that's several 150-count bottles of multivitamins each week! School supplies are needed because all of the kids are schooled right there at the orphanage, which includes learning to read and write in English (since the majority of children at GLA are adopted by families from the U.S. and Canada).
As Molly said,
Whatever you are willing to donate will be used and fully appreciated! Sincere thanks in advance to all who are able to help out! :)
