Lately, I have had a few people ask what the kids and I need/want over here. I thought I would post it publicly in case anyone else was wondering.
Care packages are always welcome! Here are things that are always needed (for the kids):
*Children's chewable vitamins (this is a HUGE need)
*Dry-erase markers
*Arts and crafts supplies
*Underwear for kids (especially teenager-sized)
Here are things that are always wanted (by me):
*Canned meat (tuna, salmon, chicken-packaged in water)
*Tuna in the single-serving packets like Starkist or Bumble Bee
*Spices (garlic salt, garlic powder, minced garlic, onion salt, onion powder, minced onion, chili powder, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, etc)
*Nuts (almonds (plain and flavored), pistachios, walnuts)
*Starbucks VIA
Care packages can be mailed to:
Blessing the Children

The best way to send packages is through the US Postal Service with their flat rate priority boxes. I know shipping is costly but all care packages are greatly appreciated (probably more than you know!)!
We love you, Jonnett, and still pray for you. I will do my best to put together care packages for you and the kids. It will be a great lesson for my kids to learn. Thank you for what you are doing :)
