!!!!!THE FIRST TOYS HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!

I will send more later, but I just recieved an email from the Chief saying 25 boxes arrived today!!!!! He wrote more in his letter and I will update this in a little bit with more information. The Chief is just overjoyed, telling me he had tears in his eyes as he wrote me. The first boxes only took 8 days to arrive!

Thank you all, you are all wonderful. Again, I will update more in a bit.

Regards,

Plunge

Futher update: The Chief mentions that he is working with a children's hospital, orphanages and schools to distribute the items. The Chief is only using people that he is personally familiar with so that all the toys and school supplies will go where they should and will not end up on the black market. The Chaplain of his area has been an enormous help as well. He has also arranged for storage depending on how much arrives. I think it is finally starting to sink in just how much people care and the effort that is being put forth.

A quote from his email to me, "I couldn't believe how much thought and effort has gone into the selection of items. I was totally blown away by the nature of the toys, even a large Tonka truck, small trucks, school supplies, stuffed animals, etc."

"Let everyone know how much I appreciate all they are doing."

I share that last thought.
