Our placing agency (AGCI) suggests that all traveling families consider including some donations for Hannah’s Hope (the transition home where our son lives now). Without these supplies, the staff there cannot provide the excellent care that they do. We would love to collect as many donations as possible to take to bless the staff there. We are so thankful for each person who works at Hannah’s Hope, and we’re confident that our little man is in very good hands while there.
If you’re interested in helping us gather some of these things, please leave a comment or email me and let me know. If you’re in the Nashville area, I’ll be happy to pick up the items. Feel free to be creative and enlist the help of co-workers, friends & family.
