Supply Project: Guatemala

There is a desperate need in Guatemalan foster homes and orphanages for Desitin brand or Balmex brand diaper rash creme, as well as infant's and children’s Tylenol. The Shepherd's Crook is now helping to supply this need there. Our Guatemala Family Coordinator, Melissa Scott, travels to Guatemala often enough that she is able to deliver these things for us. TSC volunteer Kate Fey is heading up this project for us. She collects and stores the supplies and then ships them to Melissa whenever it’s time for Melissa to travel to Guatemala. This is an ongoing project, so please let your churches and adoption groups know about it.

Contact Kate, at babysupplies@theshepherdscrook.org, to arrange getting the items to her. If you aren’t local, she will tell you where to send them. To clarify, specific items needed are as follows:

• Desitin brand diaper cream;
• Balmex brand diaper cream (We have been told that the foster moms prefer this brand);
• Infant’s Tylenol (generic brands are fine);
• Children’s Tylenol (generic brands are fine).

Thank you for your help. We love being able to make a difference in this way for the babies waiting in Guatemala for families.
