Medical supplies needed for orphans

The Foundation that was instrumental in saving the lives of our SaraGrace and Kate, is in need of medical supplies. There is a woman in the U.S. who coordinates donations with people who are traveling to China. The supplies can then be hand delivered, which saves on the cost of shipping. If you are interested in donating, you can contact Rebecca Doris. rsdorris@placetobe.org

Rebecca's letter is below with list included:

Some of you may have contacts in the medical field that are willing to donate the medical supplies. Dr. Joyce desperately needs the medical supplies listed. I am glad to send any of these supplies to HOPE with people that I know traveling. There are adoptive families traveling as well as others that volunteer to take suitcase to Beijing Airport for HOPE. Contact me if you have any donations. Or if you traveling soon and are willing to take a suitcase or two, let me know and we can make plans.
