Friends and Family,
It’s that time of year again! We are collecting humanitarian aid for the at-risk kids and
families that we work with all year round in Romania. We work hard to educate
children in one of the poorest regions of Romania by offering preschool, warm
meals, showers, Bible teaching and more to encourage change in a positive way. These children
are being given a new outlook on life with hope for a brighter future because
they are being given a chance to learn and grow. I think we can all speak to
the importance of an education. This
year we are collecting 3 specific items, which will help the shipping container
pass through customs a little easier. These 3 items are hard to come by for the
families we serve and are often of lesser quality when available. As summer
approaches and closets are cleaned out, I ask you to please save the following
3 items, so that they can bless children and families in need. These items are
vital for health and safety in a community of soviet era apartment buildings
that are open to the elements and broken roads.
-
New, youth size shoes (for 14 year olds and
younger)
-
New or gently used jeans, shorts and capris (for
14 year olds and younger are most needed, but we are collecting adult sizes as
well)
-
New or gently used blankets of any size
Please let me know if you have items that you would like to
donate or if you would like to be a collection site for Project Respond this year. It would be great if you could get your local church or organization involved! Feel free to pass this list along to
others! Every item makes a difference! If you have any questions, please let me
know in the comments section below.
Thanks so much for your help in passing along items to make
life better for someone else!
