Donna,
I am sending 155 Beanie Babies. Hope that helps. Thank you for this opportunity. I love doing something for the children and also our dear dear soldiers.
Gratefully,

You are most welcome for the donation of beanies for the troops to give out.
My mother has had a collection of these for a few years but they have been kept in display cases
And are clean and in excellent condition with all the tags still on them. I will also add some school supplies when I get ready to send them out as an added bonus for the children. I also have a daughter who has seemed to out grown other stuffed animals that are in really good condition that I will send also. I work at a facility that has UPS accounts so if that is the way to go I will send them that way.

Should we also include letters to the troops(generic) and items that they need or want. I am a single parent so money is tight but would love to do my part to support the troops. They are the real hero’s. I feel very fortunate to have my freedom to live my life the way I want to.
Thank you so much for the good information, I am very happy I found an organization that does such good things in the world.

I will be ready in a week or so to mail and will contact you with all of the information I have on the packages I want to send.

This morning I was pleased to ship 4 boxes of Beanies (my first contribution!).
As a teacher I know how essential school supplies are. Do you remember heading off to the first day of school with your new pencil box?? I sure do ... pencils and a little twisty sharpener, pink cap erasers, crayons (a box of 16 was such a thrill!), little plastic ruler and maybe even a pen and some colored pencils! Kids are the same everywhere so I'll be collecting school supplies to send along to B4B. I'm also a knitter so hats and mittens will be on my needles this summer.
Thank you to all at B4B for giving me the opportunity to serve in this way. Seems like a drop in the bucket but I know that every contribution will make a difference in the life of a child.

Hi Donna,
This month has been the perfect time to shop for school supplies. I have notebooks, pens, pencils and sharpeners, markers, colored pencils, drawing paper and watercolor paints ready to go! And best of all ... I got everything on sale!
Could you please send me an address?
Thanks,
Patti
