Is there anyone out there in Austin or elsewhere who could receive and deliver a pkg for me? I would like to make up bags of small items for the children who are separated from their parents or who are living with their family in a shelter. I would have a sturdy tote bag filled with a soft,small blanket, a small stuffed toy,fruit snacks,teddy grahams,wash cloth,towel,toothbrush,soap,shampoo,matchbox car or Barbie doll and a book. I want to provide some comfort to these children,but do not want to try to send it through an organization as it takes too long to get there. I know there are many children in Baton Rouge and elswhere who are in the same situation. i do not have a lot of these,perhaps only a dozen,but perhaps it would make a difference for them. I hope it would make them feel comforted and hopeful for the future. RNTraveler

I live in Dallas and we have many victims of Katrina here. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic for the city and has been volunteering in many of the shelters. I would be happy to assist you in getting your items to some of these children.
