Gently used items for children needed

[morgaina]

My co-worker's two children recently experienced a traumatic situation. Because of this trauma they have no access to their clothing or other possessions. They are having to start over and are in great need. Dear parlor_games suggested donations of gently used clothing and other things for children could be brought to Ursulmas then a route found to bring them here, to AnTir Inlands.

The girl has just turned 3 and is sized 3 T (toddler), the boy is 10 and wears slacks size 12 slim, shirts size 12-14. The boy likes knights, dragons, and castles.
The little girl has quite a few physical problems, so complicated toys, or clothing wouldn't be appropriate for her.

Thanks very much good people.

Maybe I can pick up something this weekend. Would gift cards be welcome? Target etc?

[parlor-games.livejournal.com]

Ooh - a gift card. Good idea.

Gift card! I can do a gift card! Great idea!

[gwen-the-potter.livejournal.com]

Morgaina, I like the idea of a gift card. I can mail that to you, and you could give it to the family?

What is better, Target or Walmart? What's nearby to where they live?

Also, mailing address for you? I know I've had it before, but I am terrible about keeping addresses up.

There isn't a Target in the area. Walmart, Costco, Pennys, Safeway, Albertsons, are the chains that first come to mind.
I'll email you my address.
Thanks for asking :-)

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

Yes,they would.
We don't have a Target or a Fred Meyers nearby. Several other chains, I know you avoid WallMart, but there is Pennys, & Costco.

[gwen-the-potter.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't avoid Walmart. If there is one nearby, that's what I'll do.

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

I should have been more specific. I should have said I think taisia
avoids them.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Oh yeah, no Walmart for me. :D

Is there a Toys R Us? We don't have a Penny's here and getting to Costco will be impossible today.

I'd like to contribute as well...could you email me your address? mooneyc@bennettjones.ca :-)

[taisiia.livejournal.com]

Ohh, Albertson's. I can do that I'm sure.

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

That would be wonderful. Do you have my mailing address or do you need it?

[taisiia.livejournal.com]

Do you have a courier at Ursalmas? Otherwise I'll mail it.

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

I think parlor_games may have a cunning plan for this (?)

[parlor-games.livejournal.com]

Here's the plan!

We sent over a box of toys from Gwen, a huge purple dragon someone left at my work, a bag with used toys and puzzles from Martin le Harpur's son, plus a neat dragon toy from Melusine and a dragon book from me. There is also a gift card in there from Constance (if it is to a place not near you, please let me know, and I will send you one in the same amount to a local place and just swap with you).

Signy has little girl clothes to send over. So we sent it all home with her, and they are going to ship the whole bunch of stuff to you.

So.....I will give your mailing address. Thanks!

I am so touched by your loving spirits. Thank you.
