Items Needed for Donation

GLA Needed Donations

In light of the recent earthquake, we are adjusting our list of needed donations. Below you will find 2 lists. One is of needed supplies at GLA’s orphanage, things that we expect to be difficult to find, or things we expect to need when we take in new children. The other list is of relief items, things that we can get to our staff, the biological families, and others in Haiti who are suffering because of the recent tragedy. (We know that some of these items are only available in North America or in Europe, so you may not be able to find some things where you are.)  Unfortunately, we cannot ship any of these at the moment, but once the airport in Port-au-Prince opens again, volunteers should look at this list to determine what to bring with them. Thank you for your generous gifts!       January 31.
