Interested in Helping? Parma newspaper readers…
12 July 2007Hey everybody, thanks for stopping by! If you are interested in helping in any way, just give me a call or email me. I like comments, so please leave them too. 
You know, I’ve got a few specific things that are not on the need lists (see tabs above) and I wanted to mention these in case you have a way to help.
I am saving up stuff to take in August and need some short term storage space. If you’ve got an empty garage or somewhere to keep donations and would like to donate a space to keep the stuff, let me know.
At HCH we use a lot of hand sanitizer, it’s a constant need in the nursery to keep germs down. I have a practical solution to this, which is to buy a dispenser like the ones that are used in food service and mount it on the wall, then buy the big jugs of sanitizer. If you want to help with this, let me know.
Cloth diapers are a big need at HCH, and I’ve recently heard as well that they are a need in the Dominican Republic where the Vedal and Joy Reyes family serves. If you know how to sew or would like to help buy fabric or cut fabric, we are going to get together locally to make cloth diapers. We’ve got patterns, but some odds and ends like velcro, elastic and thread are still needed. Let me know if you want to help.
The children at CFNE and HCH need clothes. A bunch of us local ladies are planning to get together and sew for them. We have a few simple patterns and even if you don’t sew, you could help by cutting or pinning or other things. We’ve got some fabric, but more can be used. Let me know if you want to come and if you have a sewing machine, scissors etc.
By clicking the donate button below, you can use your Visa or Mastercard. To indicate to which of these or other items you would like to fund, just leave a note with your donation. (If it’s left blank, funding will be used where most needed.)
You can send checks or give cash as well, I live right here in Parma and work at the Co-op, so if you want to give it to me when you see me, even $5 goes a long way!
Stumble it!

hi there! I just came across your blog from another blog I read and I’m so excited! my family is in the process of adopting twins marcklin and marckline from HCH! I was hoping you may have some pictures and or maybe have contact info for others who were at HCH with you or at the same time?? we have been in process for 2 years now and hopefully are at the end stages!
oh ya, we are sending about 400 or more cloth diapers and 50-100 pairs of rubber pants next week with friends who are going to visit! (plus a TON of other things like a crank baby swing, potty chairs,vitamins,pablum,underwear,etc etc!)
hope to hear from you!!
