Starting with a Bath
When LWR distributes Personal Care Kits, it’s often to people who have lost everything. In the wake of an earthquake, or having fled from violence as their homes were overtaken, they clasp a towel from a faraway place, with a bar of soap, a toothbrush…and washing up, they know that they have not been forsaken by the world.
The very simple gesture of giving a Personal Care Kit can give someone the encouragement to start anew, starting with a bath. You can share God’s grace and love by providing that simple comfort. Here’s how:
Consider raising the $2.65 per Kit LWR needs to ship Personal Care Kits overseas, and send your contribution to the Quilt & Kit Shipping Fund. Read more below.
Please include all of the requested items in each Personal Care Kit. Do not add other items.
Include the following items in each Personal Care Kit:
One light-weight bath-size towel (maximum 52” X 27”), dark color recommended
Two bath-size bars (4 to 5 oz.) of soap, any brand, in original wrapping
One adult-size toothbrush in its original packaging*
One sturdy comb, remove packaging
One metal nail clippers (attached file optional), remove packaging
*Toothbrush multi-packs may be used by sealing an individual toothbrush in a business-size envelope; no plastic bags or wrap
Do not add other items or leave out any of the items listed. All items should be new and in good condition. Wrap all the items in the towel and tie securely with ribbons or yarn. Do not enclose the Kit or any of its contents in plastic bags.
Another Way to Help
It costs LWR about $2.65 per Personal Care Kit to add toothpaste and deliver it overseas. This is paid from LWR’s Quilt & Kit Shipping Fund. If you are not able to assemble Kits, why not give to help ship them? Your donation will help ensure that we are able to distribute all of the Kits we receive. Thank you!
