The other day, I mentioned our new journey and how we just may have some children staying in our home soon. Well, we attended our second I.M.P.A.C.T. class yesterday and learned a lot! We also realized that taking in foster children means we will need to keep some items available for when the need arises.
Our coordinator explained that we may get children ranging in age from 1 day old up to 12 years old. There may be times we get a sibling group with an infant and also 1 or 2 older siblings. So here is the deal: we have to have furniture and many other things accessible for a variety of ages. Here is where you come in!
Maybe you have some of these items and could donate them to us. I promise to put them to good use caring for orphans and little ones who have struggling families. If you cannot donate the items, maybe you have them and could sell them for a very low price. If so, please let us know!
Furniture/Car Safety:
- Crib/bassinet
- Car seat
- Booster seat
- Bunk beds (hoping to find one with a full bed/futon on bottom and twin on top; we already have mattresses)
- High chair
- Changing table
- Baby monitors
- Baby bottles (glass if possible)
- Baby gates (need 4)
- mattress pads/crib liners
- sheets for crib/bassinet
- toddler/baby toys
- bibs
- baby blankets
- burp cloths
- Diaper can
- Diaper bag
We would also really like to accumulate clothing in various baby/child sizes. If you have anything you would like to ship us we will gladly pay the shipping. Thanks in advance for your help and support!
As soon as I get the time, I plan on registering at Wal-Mart and Kids-r-Us just so people have an idea of what we are looking for. We look forward to seeing God use His Church (not just us) as we endeavor to care for children who need His love.
