Good morning! As many of you know, my daughter is going to make a trip to North Carolina next weekend. We are preparing to take many items up there. We have received many donations already, and are SO thankful! There is opportunity to have two trailers going now, so lets fill them up!
Here is a list of some things needed, and please understand this IS NOT their only needs! And, yes, used is fine, as long as it is in useable condition! If you would feel hurt that someone gave it to you, please do not send it!
Tents
Blankets
Socks
Hoodies
Coats

Horse equipment (halters, lead ropes, blankets)

Y'all, if you used it today, they more than likely need it!
But let's NOT forget their BIGGEST need... God! I know we can not all go and share God's love to these people. But, we can send God's word to these people. There are salvation conversations happening daily up there. Let's not leave these precious people empty handed. I KNOW we can send God's word to them! It is so readily available for us, yet most of them have lost every Bible they have ever seen.
My challenge is this, pray about what God would have you send, first. Then, lets fill these trailers with God's love, so that there is no way His love is not shown in this time. This is why He tells us to GO. He did not tell us to stay and watch it on the news or here on facebook, but to GO. I know we can not all go, but we can all send!
If you have a different opinion on this particular need, please pm me, and we can discuss that farther, this is not the place. BUT, if you would like to send, PLEASE get in touch with me or Josie LaRay Short (my daughter) and let's fill these trailers up!
