It's Better to Give....

Since returning home from China, and reflecting on our experiences there, our family has decided to donate items back to Sophie's orphanage to brighten the lives of the children who are still waiting for a forever family.

We want to bring these children happiness and love that every child deserves. Our goal is to send packages for Christmas. If you would like to help us out, we are looking for clothing for children newborn to 10 years old- both girl and boy, coloring books and crayons, matchbox cars/trucks, dolls, card games, travel etch-a-sketch or magna-doodle, small stuffed animals, handmade or store bought blankets, crazy socks and anything else you can think of that a child would love.

If you would like to donate, original packages and tags left on clothes is requested. I am hoping this charity project is a success and that we can continue this yearly. My goal is two-fold~ to bring joy to the kids living in the orphanage and to introduce " charity work " to my kids at an early age.

If you are interested, I can arrange to pick up your donations, you can drop them by, or you can ship them to my home ( Amazon has free shipping ). The donations can be as easy as a $5 toy from the grocery store....I know the kids will be elated with anything new of their own!

Thank you in advance for you generosity! I am really excited about this project and welcome you involvement if you so choose!
