Items for Baby Orwa - Reposted with Adjustments

This is a repeated post. I am re-posting it with the items that have come in marked off the list. Thank you so much to everyone who has blessed us with these gifts.

Some people have been asking how to get baby stuff to us in Tanzania. A team with Africa Harvest of Hope is coming in July and graciously have allowed us to send a couple boxes/suitcases along with them. Space is really limited and although there are a few larger items we need (like a car seat, sink bath tub, bassinet, etc), there is just not space. So, I came up with a list of smaller, lighter items that we'll need. It feels weird to say here is a list... buy us stuff. I hope it doesn't come across that way. With baby item selections being very limited here anything from home is a blessing, but I thought this was the easiest way to do it for those of you inquiring.

My mom and friend, Traci will work together to pack up the items in two 45 pound bags. Items can be dropped off to either one of them within the next two to three weeks. Their email addresses are:

Mom (Holly) tinseltown@att.net
Traci – tracib2005@hotmail.com

Please contact them to coordinate the drop off or if you have any questions. Also, for anyone at Rancho del Rey, you can give items to Karen Webber at church the next few Sundays.

Thank you in advance for your love and care for us. We appreciate your help more than we can express. We are so excited about the upcoming arrival of our little one.

  1. Becca and I had a lot of fun shopping together for you! Woohoo! Can't wait for you to see your new stuff!
    Never feel bad for putting it out there regarding the things you need. So many of us love the opportunity to be a blessing to you. Always speak your needs. Isn't that what God says. Pray and ask specifically for our needs. :)
    Blessings my friend,

  3. Thanks Sarah! It's so hard to put our needs out there. People were asking and it was good practice for me to accept help instead of saying, I'm fine. I am really excited to use the baby carrier you got. George is too!

    Thank you Mon! That will be such a blessing!

  4. Stacie,

    If I send a package out tomorrow via Priority Mail, will it make it in time?
