Orphanage Donations Part 2

As Craig and I prepare to meet our daughter in Bulgaria, we have been purchasing donations for her orphanage with some of the money we have raised over the last year. In the spirit of accountability, especially to those who have contributed, I wanted to let all of you know how the funds have been spent, so here’s what we bought for our daughter’s orphanage:

12 new diaper covers $1.20

13 bottles of children’s vitamins $55.51

3 board books $3.00

Baby Einstein Lullabies CD $4.00

20 pairs of socks $9.50

10 tubes of children’s toothpaste $10.00

2 boxes of Q-tips (500 ct) $3.40

3 tubes of Neosporin $11.58

6 tubes of diaper ointment $13.44

2 boxes of Band Aids $4.40

192 Crayons $7.92

Sand toys $1.50 (not pictured)

20 pieces of clothing $14.50 (not pictured)

All of these donations are packed, along with half of the children’s clothes that were collected by our friends last fall.

In total, we have raised $560 thus far. $150.86 was spent on our son’s orphanage, $139.97 on our daughter’s. An additional $150 will be used to buy diapers in Bulgaria. This leaves $119.17 for our son’s orphanage when we return to pick him up.

We are going to have one last orphanage fundraiser in May, so please stay tuned.
