Many people ask how they can help before they arrive and if they can bring anything. The answer is yes!
There are many things that the Foster Home needs brought over from the US due to the crazy cost of shipping. One of these is a specialized formula that they use by the gallons and can't be purchased here. If you would be able to bring over 6 cans of formula (about 6-7 pounds), please let me know and we will have it mailed to your home address. Please don't commit until you have thought through your packing plan and looked at your luggage allowance. The WEIGHT is generally not an issue, but the SPACE could be tight. This is most feasible for those who are allowed 2 free bags, or groups and families who are coming who can spread the cans out among several people. If you are not able to fit in the formula, would you be willing to purchase baby vitamins or other small items to bring? That would be a great help as well. You can see our current needs HERE. Thanks so much.
