Family in Need

My church is involved in helping a refugee family from Afghanistan. I know there aren't a lot of people that actually read my blog, but if you do and you feel compelled to donate some of these items, please let me know. The church is trying to gather everything and give the items to the family this Sunday.

Larger items:
High chair for the 8 month old baby boy
Tool set with extra nails for the dad
Vacuum cleaner
Stroller (any would be great, although a double would be ideal)
Radio
Clock
Soccer ball
Shin guards, soccer socks for 13 year old boy

Others:
Round or square cake pans (glass or metal)
9x13 pan
Bath and hand towels, washcloths
Bath mats
Boy's clothes (pants size 14 or 14 slim, shirts/jackets child XL)
Boy's shoes size 7

2 pillows
Woman's shoes size 8
Little girls' clothing/pajamas for 2 and 3 year olds (could also donate slighly larger for them to grow into)
