Every survival pack makes a difference to a family. It lets them know that someone cares. And, if you can get it to me by next Thursday*, I'll hand carry it to Haiti and make sure it gets to someone who needs it. Marcia Borg, a nurse who has been to Haiti, put together this list. Here is what to buy:

Pack #1 Adult Pack

Pack the following items in a large (gallon size) Ziploc bag:

1 Toothbrush- in original package, unopened

Toothpaste- 1 large tube-pack it out of its box
Bar of soap- 1 large bath soap
Deodorant- for men or women
1 Disposable Razor- for men's kit only
1 washcloth
1 small hand towel
6 band-aids
3 larger bandages 3x4 or so
Comb- 1 large plastic, not pocket size

Optional items you may add but they must also fit in the Ziploc:
Small pack Tylenol- in original unopened container
Small bottle multivitamins- men's or women's-in original unopened container
Small fingernail clipper- not toenail clipper, no emory board

Pack #2 Baby Pack
Small pack baby wipes (80 or so) - in a soft wrapper, no hard plastic containers
Small package diapers-24 diapers. May open & split packages of diapers.
Small can baby formula 12-14oz
3 pack of baby bottles- with nipples and lids included, BPA free

Package each set of items in a plastic grocery/Wal-Mart type bag

Important:  Include a written prayer in your pack meant for the person who will be receiving it. Make sure we get your address and we'll try to get you information about how your survival pack was distributed.

Suggestion:  The Dollar Tree (not Dollar General) is a great place to get the most for your money on most of the items for pack #1.  Wal-Mart is great for the baby packs. Parent's Choice (Wal-Mart brand)  diapers and formula are great.
