Suitcase Donations

Looking for a way to be a part of my trip to South Africa? Donate to my suitcase!

While we'll be spending a lot of time in the city of Cape Town, we're also going to be involved in a nearby township called Guguletu. Guguletu is a township that was put together during apartheid, and is victim of extreme poverty. With that said, each of us have been asked to bring one extra suitcase in addition to our own luggage that is filled with donations for the township. I am asking for your help so that I can bring a full suitcase to Guguletu with me. The township is desperate for any sort of medical supplies, especially supplies for children. This could include first aid materials (Band-aids, gloves, Neosporin etc.), medicine (Tylenol, cough medicine, Tums, etc.), feminine hygiene products or any other common household supply that we take for granted. They are also in need of socks (preferably black) and underwear for children of all ages. Any donations (even one item!) you could make would be greatly appreciated- and they’re tax deductible! :)

If you’re interested in donating, please e-mail me and I’ll arrange to pick them up from you. I leave for Cape Town on May 25^th, and would like any donations by Thursday, May 22^nd. Thank you so much for your help, and feel free to contact me with any questions!
