Help An
Orphan Project
Checklist

- Assemble
items for the child you are “helping” by using the
standard needs
checklist as a guide. Please
remember that it takes up to 6-9 weeks to ship your items overseas so the
season may be changing when the package is received.
- Write
a letter to the child (preferably typewritten for ease of translation).
Include your letter inside your box and it will be translated by our
volunteers when it is received by the child. (Galya will translate for the
children in Sevastopol and Kristina will translate for the children at
Children’s Hope.) Pictures are also a very good way for
the children to connect to you.
- Pack
your box(es) as if
fragile and generously seal with at least 3 layers of packing tape at ALL
seams and sides (more tape if box is heavy). The boxes not only have to survive U.S. shipping
to Portland, but also overseas shipping, and then shipping to the child’s
location. That involves a lot of
handling and you don’t want your boxes to break open at any seam or side.
- Weigh
and measure your box.
- Write
a check payable to “Life2Orphans” for the shipping costs of the box(es).
- Put
your Life2Orphans shipping form and your check in an envelope and tape
securely to the outside of the box.
- Label
and mail your box(es) to this address:
