I've received it as a fwd from a friend of a friend so the word is far and wide (interstate and overseas I notice too!). <BR/>In response to the latest listings from Lucy Tartan and Hot Fudge, I'd like to point out that your, Monica's, original post did say "as you are aware the Emergency Centers are so over whelmed generous offers, so this is a way you can help a little bit down the track when they need supplies again."<BR/>This is just what's needed I think. Everyone is so aware of the problem NOW. Kids and parents are going to need comfort and support months and months away, when the fires are no longer headline news. So thanks Monica, wonderful idea and our local craft group will be tagging along with you all!kasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417239088457065604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186969012391311954.post-1223265765289408392009-02-15T16:13:00.000+11:002009-02-15T16:13:00.000+11:00Also forgot to add that someone is giving me a pil...Also forgot to add that someone is giving me a pile of childrens books, Will go through them and make sure they're in good condition.

I am sure that these comfort packs will be filled with lovely new items which will delight the traumatised little children who have nothing.

If you check the red Cross website you'll see they are specifically asking donors to not give them any more material items as they have no way of distributing them. Sorry. But I hate to see effort wasted. In honesty, money is what's needed now and everyone can afford to give something.lucy tartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244574932248425378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186969012391311954.post-66086142026258840132009-02-13T03:23:00.000+11:002009-02-13T03:23:00.000+11:00Hi - some little sticker, pencils, pads sets etc o...Hi - some little sticker, pencils, pads sets etc on the way from the UK tomorrow.

Just thought I'd mention too that apparently there's a real shortage of kids underwear - you might want to encourage people to pick up a six pack of kids smalls when they do their grocery shopping. I've also heard there aren't many PJs, so something else people might be able to pick up easily and cheaply.soozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784397133575053048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186969012391311954.post-63893349745666765412009-02-11T21:27:00.000+11:002009-02-11T21:27:00.000+11:00Great idea.
