Helping the Children in Jamaica - Donations of Toothpaste

Good day,

Thank you so much for all of those of you who have connected with me to make donations!!

As you may know, each September we bring a team of medical providers to treat about 1,000 children. When they leave we make sure they have a little cloth sack of items they can take home and use. This year, we want to make sure each child goes home with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

If you want to help, we would be thankful for donations of toothpaste. We will be shipping all meds and supplies mid July so would need the donations by July 1st.

Thank you for your continued support!

Hi Diane,

Last year we split our stay between CN and CSA and my dentist generously donated 36 toothbrushes along with 36 small tubes of toothpaste and I split that between the two schools that Couples gives to. We will be back this Nov./Dec. again with a split. Would you like me to ask my dentist to help again? It's past your deadline but I would think more toothbrushes and toothpaste wouldn't go to waste, right? lol

I have about 20 toothbrushes but no toothpaste. Would you like them? I also have some disposable razors? I am a couponer and get them cheap. No I am not an extreme couponer, just someone trying to save money.
