Edmay Mayers is a grandmother in Iraq with the Army Corps of Engineers. She and others are still collecting stuffed toys for Iraqi kids
“The children were extremely happy and did not believe that the stuffed animals were especially given for them,..."
For her the children need these toys as much if not more than the school supplies. They need something to hold close to them and love and these stuffed animals have a lot of love left in them for these children.
The toys don't have to be new -- the kids can pick out used ones they don't want, or maybe sending a favorite might mean something even more. You can even get a FREE mailing supply kit from the US Postal Service for sending items to military personnel -- find out how HERE.
Send your stuffed toys to:

Gary, I heard about the stuffed toys this morning and immediately starting crying. You see, I am a 63 year-old grandmother with a hugh selection of stuffed toys, mostly bears. I have collected them for years. I am also going through the Crown Financial Ministry class at Hickory Grove Baptist Church. I know I put too much value on those bears, so I am sending my collection to those precious children in Iraq. Thank you for the information this morning. God bless, and have a wonderful day.

To Lynda - you will never know how much your kind gesture will mean to these precious young children. They melt my heart. They are so appreciative as are their parents and teachers - God bless you and take care. With lots of love, Edmay
