November 2015 – Preparing to return to Porto Alegre

We are extremely grateful to the individuals and companies that decided to donate products to us so we can help those in need. We are bringing back little toys, stuffed animals (local thrift stores and salvation army most always donate some lightly used stuffed animals to us. One time, the company TY blew my mind and gave us a lot of brand new little beanie babies) , tooth brushes, soap, sanitary kits (many in prison have no access to sanitary items), rain ponchos, (it is rainy season in Brazil so many of the homeless have no cover), some chess boards, (which are ideal gifts for those who spend a lot of time in the hospital) as well as inspirational posters, printed reading material, music cds, Gospels of John and Bibles.
