Donations

The flights are officially booked!  We'll be leaving for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Thursday, July 26 bright and early!  Several people have asked if we'll be taking donations for the orphanage and the answer is YES!  Below is a list of suggested donation items. We will be taking a day to travel to the orphanage that our son came from and are hoping to take donations there as well. If you are interested in donating any of these please feel free to send an e-mail to therogersuz@gmail.com or just let me know on the good old FB!
