Donation Needs

We are leaving for Ethiopia in 16 days... you read that right only 16 more days until we are on our way to see our baby girl. The transition home baby E is in has a list of donations they are in need of at this time. We are able to take 4 bins on our flight over so we are hoping to collect and bring some of these items.
