I have just rang the Salvos and they said they appreciate the gift immensely from both the Dandelion Network and The Australian Outback Baby Project.
We already know the Dubbo Refuge absolutely LOVES us for all that we, as a community of supporters; do for them. We are like guardian angels to the refuge because they struggle even more than us with far less help and support.
Meanwhile! We have more Careflight sets to do; I have many baby sets to put together when the heat goes away plus do two large tea-chest boxes for them for care boxes as there is so many who work there crew wise.
We have 200 Ambulance sets to get out to Orange NSW Ambulance.
PLUS a care box of great magnitude for 120 Careflight members in the NT at the end of April.
Some NSW Ambulance sets (newborn) to make for Lake Cargelligo Ambulance and a box of jeans and clothes as well for them to distribute. Probably another 20 trauma toys by then as well as the care box for the officers.
We also have 50 baby sets to make up and send to Goulburn Hospital when Michael finds out if they are closing the maternity ward or not.
PLUS we have to collect as many toys as we can get our hands on because I am sure that we will get huge orders from Ambulance stations in between all this.
The Dandelion Network will also be sending boxes of baby clothes down to us on occasion for Lambing Flat Enterprises to sell for a few dollars in their shop to keep it going for the disabled.
Cowra Freight delivers them free to us and Lewis the manager picks them up from me.
I will buy all the jeans we need for $2 from them as I also buy (privately) kids doonas and blankets off them for our local pound ranger. I adopted Michael about 20 years ago from the pound and he is the best male friend I have ever had in my life!
I honestly can't believe we help so many people !!!!!!
