Recently Gillian, Grace, and Darcey sold lemonade and juice boxes to raise money to purchase much needed items for the children at the Nanchang SWI. They surpassed all expectations and raised $320! Can you believe it? Special thanks go to wonderful people, Dearyl and Jean for their generous gift.
Tonight I packed a suitcase that shows the kindness of so many. Gloria donated beautiful baby clothes that little Lukas outgrew before he could wear out. Two Jeans from work provided toothbrushes and toothpaste and the other made lots of cute hats to provide warmth when the weather turns colder. Our friend Laura, paid extra to ship some incredibly beautiful yarn and knitting books overnight to ensure we had them in time to pack.
Today we met some of our FCC friends who had worked to make 20 nice bags of personal toiletries to share at the orphanage. I know Anabel and Grace will love to share these with special friends there.
I'm already behind on thank you notes from friends who have helped provide funds for special items for Anabel and to help us with other expenses.
And a special thank you for these pictures of Anabel from a visit to the SWI last August by another adoptive mom.
