Over the years these donations have helped many people with clothing, bedding, medical supplies and even furniture. My mother's sofa from my childhood is still providing service in a ghetto shack in Tarrish Pit and there is a mirror I recognise on a wall in Morne Prosper, a chair in Newtown, a bed in Giraudel and quilt covers in Sylvania! Debra and Berns who have been part of the Lifeline team with us since the beginning of time are experts at clearing the goods on the port and sending boxes of stuff to our various Lifeline families around Dominica.
Geest Shipping have every year for over 20 years now given us a good deal on shipping and Herman Miller / TNT have provided free transportation within the UK. Thank you - all of you - it is so good to have things to give away and see God meet people's needs. It is also great that all these things did not get thrown away, in this world where so few have so much and so many have so little it is good to be the agents of redistribution. We know each item has been washed and in some cases ironed before it is sent with love.

It is a joy to be able to bring happiness to the children and their parents. The household items are especially welcome and the toys. As for the Adult pampers and the colostomy supplies!!!!!!!
