Katrina!
Hand In Paw, Inc.
Stuffed Animal
Drive
We all know the devastation that hurricane
Katrina left along the Gulf States. Many are donating food, clothing and water
to those who are in need, and for those who were left homeless. These items are
most appreciated. However, think of the littlest victims. The Children. They
have nothing left, no toys, their favorite stuffed animals, dolls, etc. are
gone. In past disasters or times of crisis it has been my observation of how
important these stuffed animals are to the children affected. They provide
comfort, softness, they provide a feeling of “safeness” to cuddle and hug, to
fall asleep with, and to wake up knowing that it is still there. It is such a
small contribution, but has a HUGE impact on the children. Just think of the
little things that would make a child happy, Barbie’s, Baby dolls, teddy bears,
toy trucks, board games… etc…
Please help me in collecting clean stuffed
animals and games, toys, coloring books, crayons, etc.. to donate to these
families with children in need. Hand In Paw has a group of volunteers who will
deliver items to the local hotels and shelters in and around the Birmingham Area
who are housing these refugees. We will personally hand these children the toys
and stuffed animals. Let’s help these families feel welcomed and most definitely
give them comfort and prayer!
Thank you for all of your support!
