Good Deeds (#230/365)
Posted by: Devyl GyrlA very good friend of mine is stationed overseas right now, in the desert. I received the following email from him the other day, and would like to share it with all of you, in case you would like to participate.
I, personally, cannot do this. Maybe later, but not right now. However, if any of you would like to send a box of these supplies, I’ll be more than happy to share the address with you - please just comment, contact me via private message on one of our social websites, or email me directly (angeleyesw at gmail dot com).
I asked about being able to send money, but he and his buddies have already cleaned out the store at their location & so money doesn’t help them - they truly need the supplies.
Note: the huge ziplocks he speaks of are not as common as the 1-gallon, but they’re sturdy and will hold everything all in one place. I think they’re called “big bags” or something. They’re storage-type bags, but zip up tight!
Thanks!
Hey everyone, Ive decided to get involved with a school rebuildling project here and was hoping some of you would help too. Ive put together back to school kits as many as I could afford but we still need alot more. Below is a list of back to school supplies the kids need. If you are willing, I’d appreciate it if you could take the time to put together one or two (more if you like) of these kits and mail em too me so I can distribute them. I need them by 10 Oct 09. Despite all the horrible things I’ve seen here and even the ungratefullness of some of the people I still believe in trying to help whenever I can and the kids here really do enjoy and apprectiate these things.
1 composition notebook
1 small box colored pencils (Not crayons, they melt)
3 plain folders w/ pockets
1 blunt tip scissors
1 ruler
1 small pencil sharpener
1 large eraser
1 sipper pencil pouch
1 dozen pencilsIf you could include a 2.5 gallon ziploc bag it would make packaging and delivering these kits alot easier. Also please no religious or political messages. Again if you choose to help I really apprectiate it and if not Im sure you have your reasons.
And, because I adore him, I will point out that spelling has never been his strong suit … but I love him anyway. 
Again, if you would like to help out, please contact me. I’ll give you the info.

I don’t mind buying the supplies, but I have a problem sending them. Can I just send a check or paypal?
