One More Time Please

Diapers for ODESSA



We decided before we left Ukraine that when we got home and settled that we would do one more fundraiser for Diapers for the Orphanage where Max spent several years....for the dear children we love that are still there. So we have worked everything out with a local missionary church, we will get the funds to them, they will spend every dime on a lot of diapers....and deliver them to the orphanage.

When we were there, they were not re-using disposables yet.....but next to it. All they wanted for the children were diapers, we brought toothbrushes and toothpaste for the children, when we gave it to them they said...."WE NEED DIAPERS" so we bought what we could at the time, and we decided then that when we get home will will do one more fundraiser.

So please, help if you can, get the word out, we need DIAPERS FOR ODESSA. Please share this blog, help us raise the money needed. We hope to raise about $1,500.....that will buy a bunch of diapers. We hope that they will be able to get some cloth for the babies, but they prefer disposables for the older children.

Telling the story of the "Three Little Pigs" It was in Russian, but I understood it, I am a mom.

It was a cute story, the way they told it. Max laughed . But look at those children, they are still there. Several with special needs.

The Nannie here in blue, was compassionate toward the special needs children, I liked her,
she spoke some English also. She was very helpful and kind.




The orphanage director telling me they need diapers, via her husband on the cell phone, he spoke some English also.

The gates that surround the orphanage, Max would go to the gates at least once a visit, as if he was trying to tell us he was ready to go! Praise the Lord....Max is home now!!
