  1. We have a few that were given to us when our boys were born. They are in the safe and I rarely think about them. They are very small.
  2. Dang y'all. I am just in awe. I was absolutely not expecting this. You all have gone above and beyond! I have all I need now. I will leave up the socks and hacky sacks, but I think I have enough of them without any more purchases. I did add some stickers! My goal was to fill one checked in suitcase, but I think I will fill two! I just need to spread everything out to all of our suitcases so they don't question what I am bringing!
  3. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am just about at capacity for what I can take, so I will shut down the list when it gets to where I prob can't take anymore.
  4. that is what I am wondering, they just said baseball caps. Let me at least add another size to the list. I added some multiples, however, if anyone wants to send just one, PM me. The singles are around $10 and the multiples are $20, and overall less $$, but I will take whatever.
  5. I am going by what they have told me, these items are either imported and too costly to buy OR they cannot get them. I want to bring what they asked for. I already said I declined the suitcase. And I am going to have to set aside all of the clothing items that were donated as I can't fit them! I will pull out the socks donated though. But the clothing won't go. Neckties, I am glad you brought that up, there is a place I want to take everyone that used to require ties in order to get service, I need to check and see if they still require ties.
  6. Well, they have several teen boys, but still. Ages 0-18. Good point. Maybe I should add a youth size?
  7. I just looked at all the purchases. You all are amazing. Thank you so much. You are making this easy for me. I only need a total of 10 baby dolls and I think you all have purchased 6 of them! And some socks, and some hacky sack balls. I really just want to take what they asked for, you know? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
  8. gotcha I mean, this is an orphanage for special needs kids, I assume they don't need suits and dress shoes for one, but they said clothing (other than quality socks) they can get there.
  9. The items they have asked for they cannot get there, or they only come if you buy imports and those are too costly. That is why we aren't taking things like soccer balls.....they can get them there.
  10. I have updated it and it should share the address now.
  11. That's weird, let me see what to do, or I can send you my address
  12. Yes! My cousin works for an insurance company and she is getting them for us. She has to order them but she says they are really cheap though her company.
  13. Here is my wishlist. I may add to it, but here it is. I think that boy plush doll with the interactive buttons and laces is great. Some of these items are on a good clearance right now. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19UZPVI56SV2D?ref_=wl_share
  14. I will create something either tonight or tomorrow.
  15. Oh, I gushed at their "generosity" and just said I wouldn't be able to have room. What did you think I did? I was at a church event and a guy asked what I was still looking for (actually I think my friend asked but he was standing there) and he said, "Oh, I have a huge hat collection and was just wondering where I could donate. I would love for you to take them. Call her (my friend) and when she gives you the socks, she can get my hats to give you too as we live in the same condo complex." Then he now says he gave them to someone else. I have been to every Goodwill around here and some other thrift stores, looking for suitcases, there were no good/decent ones. But I have some now. And I ordered a few 20" carry ons that were on sale for $35 each.....and they have cupholders! 🤣😍
  16. I am not going until the end of June.
  17. True and I really want to bring exactly what they asked for. They said the kids get shoe boxes at Christmas, but then they get new kids in Jan/Feb and want things to give to them too. These are special needs kids and they apparently love baseball hats. They said gently used is fine.
  18. I have actually gotten some good used suitcases from folks, so that has been helpful.
  19. Thanks all. I feel better as I was so thrown by people getting upset over this.
  20. On our summer trip, we are planning to visit an orphanage. I needed some things and knew there were folks would like to donate, so I put some requests out....one to my bible study group and the other to my freebie group. I have gotten great items. 3 suitcases, some clothing, etc.... But I have had a few issues. One woman wanted to give me a suitcase that was literally falling apart. I told her I was worried it wouldn't make it and I would prefer to find something else. She said ok, but then contacted me a week later asking if I was sure. I said yes, but thank you for the offer and she responded with, "Ok, then just NEVERMIND!" It wasn't even her suitcase, it was a neighbor's! Another promised me 15 baseball caps and then never got back to me, so I texted and he said, "Oh, I gave them to someone else, but I have some men's clothing and shoes!" I told him that I don't have any room for those items and he got upset. Truth be told, I am pretty peeved he gave them to someone else after promising them to me. Now I have to go purchase 15 caps! I plan to fill 3 suitcases for the (special needs) orphanage. They specifically asked for socks, baseball hats, black dolls, and stress balls/squish balls. They said that is the order of their needs. I am not able to take things they didn't ask for due to space. I have been upfront with that fact. Should I have taken the items but not used them so they aren't offended? I assume they just want to be a part of it, but I just don't have time to go collect things I can't use. UGH. ETA: Wanna see a photo of the suitcase she was mad I didn't take?

  23. If you could get a 90 day prescription and you got a great discount, it might be worth the drive every 3 months.
  24. Wow, how do they do that? I haven't heard of this particular prescription being a discount anywhere unless it is through your insurance.
