What items can I send to the children?
A full list of current needs can be found
here. Other items that are
always welcomed
and can be expensive/hard to obtain in Ukraine are warm coats, shoes,
and sheets.
Can they use handmade "footies" (one piece overalls)?
These are very cheap in Ukraine, approximately $1
each. If you'd like to provide
this item for the orphanage a better idea might be to send a donation
which will
be used to purchase the "footies" in Ukraine.
Any items which should NOT be sent?
Plastic bottles, plastic utensils, plastic plates,
sippy cups
(sterilization issues)
Baby food, formula and cereals. These items need to be purchased in
Ukraine
(government regulations prohibit acceptance of these items otherwise).
Sleepers and clothing with multiple buttons or snaps (too difficult to
get
on and off the kids frequently)
How long does it take for the children to get my donation?
Once your donation is shipped from the mission in
Portland, it should arrive at the
orphanage within 6-9 weeks.
Is this a tax deduction?
All donations sent to Life2Orphans through the
mission in Portland, the
Nazarene Ministry of Help, are considered tax deductible. This includes
the
postage paid to mail the package to Portland, as well as the cost to
ship it on
to Ukraine. Life2Orphans will send you a receipt for the items sent and
the cost
to ship the package from Portland to Ukraine. It is your responsibility
to retain
your shipping records from your home to Portland for your tax records.
I have an item that I want to donate, who do I ask to verify it is
allowed?
Feel free to email Mary if you have
any questions about your donation.
Can we send "almost-new" items?
Only new or very gently used items should be sent.
Please do not send items
with rips, holes, missing buttons, broken zippers, stains or spots.
Providing
quality items to the orphanages we support will ensure a longer usage
cycle
for each item.
I've got my package all ready to go, how do I go about shipping it?
Shipping instructions and payment information can be
found here.
What language is spoken at the orphanage?
Russian
I sew and have some extra fabric, what can I make for the children?
Crib/bed sheets are expensive in Ukraine. Sewing
some and donating them
would be a huge help. The sheet dimensions should be 47.25 x 47.25
inches,
(120 x 120 cm), and pillow covers should be 23.62 x 23.62 inches (60 x
60 cm).
