Exclamation Request For Help!! Please Help!!

I am going to Guatemala in 32 days and counting!! I am going to stuff my suitcases with as many shoes and as much medicine as I possibly can. The donations will be given to Mayan Families!! Let's show just how much this forum cares!!

If you have a pair of shoes that could help someone less fortunate please send them to me and I will take them with me.

If you have a half used bottle of aspirin or ibuprophen or any other medicine that could be used please send it to me and I will take it with me.

If you are in the grocery store tomorrow or next week and can budget a new bottle for your medicine cabinet and can then send me your open one that would be great!!

Please everyone....I will take whatever is sent to me!! PM me and I will send you my address.

Go People Go!!

Not really. The best case scenario is that I end up with so much that I don't feel comfortable transporting it all myself and then I will gladly pay for it to be shipped! Please let that be the case!!

So sweet of you to do this! I help fundraise for Mayan families also. They are a great group. We also sponsor a student with them.

Oh Stephanie, that's so great of you to put this out here! Of course you can count me in!!! I'll hit the store tomorrow. I also have a ton of Crest and Colgate toothpaste I can send you too!

What about some gently used baby clothes? Mollie is going into 24 months (little porkchop!) so I would love to have her clothes that's she outgrown used by someone in need. Let me know if I can send them to you as well.

Hugs,

Dee
