Prolly not, because stamps I buy here wont work there.. .so I don't know how to do that, and I don't think sending money is a very good idea to a 10-14 girl I know no clue what she'll really spend it on.
Yeah.. I'm gonna do practical stuff too... like t shirts, socks and flipflops and school stuff but I think since most of these girls don't have money to buy cute things and their parents don't have money to buy them things.. ( If they have parents ) I want to help them have girly things and things to make them feel beautiful, |

I would go with this. if you send stuff that's not allowed, Samaritan's Purse will take it out...so I suppose if you sent money, they'd just take it out and use it to send the gospel books with the boxes or something like that.

| I've been filling shoeboxes for several years now. I love it! I usually go to a dollar store (everything is a dollar there) because I can fill my boxes fuller and it is cheaper. And for the past couple of years I've been getting the plastic shoeboxes. I always pack soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, washcloth, brush/comb, and socks. Then I just look around the store to find toys and stuff for whatever age I do. I usually add a stuffed animal. For the older kids I pack notepads, pencils (and sharpener!), colored pencils, erasers, and any other school stuff like a solar calculator. The younger kids I'll pack crayons and coloring pages. Then I'll find toys like yo-yo's and slinky's to add in there. It's a lot of fun.
