Several amazing ladies (Carmen, Kym, Karen, Kate and Amanda) I work with will be traveling to Ukraine in March to provide special needs orphans with therapy supplies and to also teach their caregivers how to better help them. They will be able to provide the caregivers with techniques from each of their fields (physical and speech therapy). I had considered going this year, but it just wasn't the right time for me. However, I wanted to let everyone know that you can donate money and/or supplies if you feel led to do so. All donations are tax deductible. They will be leaving on March 7th, so getting donations to them by March 3rd or 4th would be great! Also, prayers for their trip would be appreciated. Specifically for their safety, that the information they presented be well received, and for each of the children and caregivers they meet. I KNOW they are going to do amazing things while there.
A general list of needed supplies:
Exercise Balls
Hard back books with pictures and minimal words
Pacifiers and Teethers
Crib Mirrors
Small toys (such as rattles, crackly toys)
Any money given will go towards the purchasing of supplies to buy other therapy equipment
If you want to donate, please leave a comment or email me at amylu83@aol.com and I will give you more information. Also, I will be glad to give you more information on exactly where they will be going. Thanks!!
