Underwear for Ethiopia- HUGE SUCCESS!!!!!

It started with boxes like this...

And, it soon turned into rubbermaid bins packed to the top...

With underwear of all sizes and gender...

And, the results are...
Together we are sending OVER 1,220 pairs of Underwear to Children living in Orphanages in Ethiopia. My initial goal was 100... I am amazed and thankful. Not only does this serve the basic need... BUT IT LETS THEM KNOW THEY ARE LOVED, VALUED, CARED FOR & THOUGHT OF!!!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT PARTICIPATED!!!
And, a special thanks to my fellow blogger who ran a drive in her neighborhood for us... she was able to collect 431 pairs of underwear and then shipped them all to me to take to Ethiopia. Karen you and your friends and family inspire me.

Underwear for Ethiopia Update!!!

I have in my possession over 150 pairs of NEW undies for kids living in orphanages in Ethiopia... plus we have collected $210 in monetary donations which we will use to fill in gaps on sizes/ gender that we do not receive by our deadline next Wed. April 21st.
Plus, another AMAZING mom and blogger was gracious enough to join in and host a drive herself and she sent me an update this morning that she already has received 258 pairs of underwear. 258 pairs!!!!
That means our total thus far is over 400 pairs of NEW/ Packaged Underwear!!!! Good thing I am packing light so we can fill rubbermaid bins of undies :) I already contacted my agency so that they could help find more orphanages in need so that each and every pair will be given to the most needy children.
We are making a difference!!! Thank you Everyone!!!

Underwear for Ethiopia

Yes, that's right as funny as it may sound underwear can be a luxury for children living in orphanages. So, we are hosting an Underwear Donation Drive.
We are collecting NEW underwear in UNOPENED packages
now thru April 25th.
My personal goal is to bring 100 pairs of new underwear.
The sizes needed are 2T-12. The greatest need is boys sizes 5-12.
We will deliver the donations to several orphanages in Ethiopia
when we travel to bring our son home.
