The age range we are aiming for is between 4 and 12 years of age. The Mexican children here do not have a lot and will love anything...as simple as it may be. A 4 year old and a 12 year old alike will enjoy crayons, a ball, a toy...anything :)
We receive our mail sent via the United States Postal Service. There is no UPS or Fed Ex where we live. :)
One dear lady commented that she took 3 boxes boxed up into one big box to the post office to send and the man told her that it was too large for the Mexican gov't to accept. So you may want to send the boxes separately.
Feel free to ask any other questions you have! Thank you to all who are participating!!!
Hi Lockwood Family
ReplyDeleteWhen I last made ask at the post office the postage from Australia to Mexico was very high. I will ask again on shoe box size, if it is still high I would like to put a donation instead. (used in any way you feel fit!)
Thanks
An Aussie Mum (I will email you for details. Thanks)
We plan to participate! Our box will probably be very 'Alaskan' -but don't worry, I won't try to stuff a moose in there! :) Thanks for giving us an opportunity to be involved! :) You guys remain in our prayers! Do you have very bad morning sickness?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Love in Him,
jess
May I ask you a gentle question?
ReplyDeleteI believe that children are a blessing from God, as you do, but I admit I've been wondering why you keep having more of your own instead of taking in mexican orphans who desperately need a family, love, and salvation.
Have you ever considered adopting babies that are already here?

Hi Jaynee,
ReplyDeleteI just mailed our three boxes. I hope they make it there okay.
God bless your whole family, sweet friend!
