Donations!

Even though we are several months from travelling to Ethiopia, I wanted to post early about collecting items for the orphanages and care center. Since we are taking two trips now, I'm hoping to fill our bags with goodies to help the sweet children that are waiting for families.

I'll be posting this again in the future when we know more about travel dates, but if you would like to start gathering items, that would be incredible! You can also send us money and we can buy the goodies ourselves. I promise 100% will go to items on the list below. Leave a comment if you need my information. Thanks so much!
