I Need New Clothes!

That's not exactly true, I don't need new clothes, I need used clothes (new ones will get stolen.) And, I don't exactly need my size, I need any size that might fit a 14 to 18 year old boy. And I'm picky, I only want dark colors because these clothes won't get washed very often. Oh, and I guess I should tell you, I don't need the clothes at all, but there are 50 somebodies who do.

They are in Odessa, all 50 of them locked away in a boys' prison. They have no heat, almost no clothes, not much food, no coats. Slavik has just recently purchased them soap. Finally, they got soap! They have nothing. They need soap, toothbrushes, deodorant, sweaters, shirts, coats, black socks, jeans, undershirts, etc

I know of enough extra clothes in my house to fill a couple of boxes. I'll be mailing them over. So, to church groups, Bible study groups, Awana groups, or you at home, how about it? Can we fill this need?

Let's do it!!!

Send package as a personal package to; (Do not at any time say this it is humanitarian. You'll have to say it is a gift of clothes to Alyona)

Alyona Monzhay
Puzanova Olena
Lesi Ukrainki 64 a
Odessa 65086

  1. Marsha, wonderful wonderful idea, but will the parcels get through customs? I fear they may not unless you have a reliable way to get them through.... At least that's what I've been told when I wanted to send parcels myself (instead of sending them first to the US...). I hope I'm wrong though!

  2. I was wondering that myself- I thought about sending toiletries, but will they make it? Also, is this for an actual prison or the older boys' institution? Can we send any size clothes and they will deliver to whomever needs them? Sorry, lots of questions- really want to help and make sure I'm sending the right things! =)

  3. What is the best way to send them? UPS or Fedex? I"m happy to help, just need to know how I might get toiletries/socks/shirts safely there to help. My e-mail is allisonzkelly@gmail.com Thanks for helping these boys!! Peace and Merry Christmas, Allison
