You can donate toward a cake for the Boys by going to Michael Gaynor's (Chat n' Browse) and he has an envelope fund for this. If you want to donate, but will not be on island soon, you can do so through BTCI.

Paypal - paypal@bonairetalk.com

Check or cash to:

We will get the funds to Michael.

I received an updated list from Renee (the sponsor coordinator for the boys). At this time, they could use:

Towels (bath & beach & kitchen)

Underwear (prefer the boxer briefs)

Socks (white ankle)

Clothes for church (dress pants/shirts, dress shoes) Kids are going to church every week now.

Toiletries

Peanut butter & jelly, mac-n-cheese, cake/cookie mixes & frosting, cereal/snack bars, powdered Koolaid/Gatorade, any kind of healthy snack that’s easy to pack.

You can drop these items off at Chat n' Browse, and Michael will get them to the home, or contact the home and arrange to deliver them yourself if you like.

Thanks in advance to all those who love and support the boys.

Cynde, what age group are we talking about? Just a general range so that the items are really useful. Would love to start getting stuff together so that I can plan ahead.

Thanks Cynde!!

Thanks for this needed update, Cynde

Now for one more ?. Sorry to keep asking about this BUT I'm shopping all the time (it's a sickness LOL) so would like to know.....

Since there are only 9 boys there, currently, could we get ages of each boy? This would surely help me buy for specific age groups. The clothing thing I'm good on but I want to bring something for each child that would be age appropriate. I have secured some decorations which they can reuse for B days and other Holidays along with toiletries. Will be arriving mid July for second visit this year and have extra suitcases started

Thanks in advance for any response.
