DONATIONS FROM FRIENDS: HERE'S WHAT WE PURCHASED

A very big thank you to Joanne Bagan, Normi Mann, Kathie Douglas, Heather Porret-Thompson, Sonia Tarabay, and Teresa Height-Dosdall, as well as the "Joanne and Robert"poker winnings philanthropy fund.

We were able to purchase 20 bags (50kgs each) of rice, 3 LARGE cases of fruit juice, large containers of cooking oil, powdered milk, laundry soap, salt, sugar, and even a "sweet treat" for every child in the orphanage. All together we raised $600.00 for groceries! I also brought as a gift from Jenna, Dustin and Dean pencil crayons (waxed crayons would melt here), large art paper, sharpies and pencil sharpeners. As well as cash, Teresa sent me along with a First Aid kit - when I saw they needed one, I donated it on her behalf.

  1. Oh Jodie! What an amazing amount of food and goods you were able to get. The orphanage must have been so happy to receive everything. Thank you for all you are doing. Wish I could have donated more...
    Love Kath
