My life long best friend just returned from his 5th tour between Iraq and Afganistan. (corps) He has been there since the invasion as a reserve. He is now very in debt from finishing school and his wife is due next month. I gave him some stuff that I still had but he is in need of much more donated or cheap.
specifically needs:
swing, highchair, and all the small stuff.

This will be a BOY.....

Any help would be appriciated. He is very proud and too embarresed to ask for help but I have know him since his birth 30yrs ago.

Ray- Boy or girl? If it is a girl I will have lots of clothes to go through and hand down. I have a few small things as well like a bath chair deal and possibly my car seat, which is good for infants up to 23 pounds, the base stays in the car and the seat is compatible with quite a few strollers. I am buying the next size up for my little girl tonight or tomorrow. I work in Tualatin and could drop some stuff off after work this week sometime. But, yeah, if you can find out if it is a girl it will allow me to donate a bunch of clothes!

RayandMandi · 02-13-2010, 12:23 PM

They are having a boy. Thank you all for the responses.

THANK YOU SPINNERGAL for the highchair.

Have lots of newborn clothes that's never been worn. PM me for more info's.

greenbuttskunk · 02-13-2010, 08:40 PM

I'll look and see if we have anything to donate. I could also get him a gift certificate to target so they could buy a few extra baby things.
shoot me a pm with you address.
Thanks,
Brad

Of course they're having a boy or girl. What else is there...a kitten? - Steve Martin in The Pink Panther

This thread is awesome. I love the response that this call has received. Way to step up!

bigwhite · 02-16-2010, 08:37 AM

PM Sent with contact details..

I have some boys clothes if interested

AV8R · 02-17-2010, 04:02 AM

I have some baby stuff we don't use anymore up in the attic. Be nice to give it to a family that really needs it. Send PM and let me know what they still need and I'll see if I have it.

Well, sorry Ray, no boy clothes. But, I will certainly still donate the infant car seat, if he will be okay with the color. The covering material is a light blue color, but I will be honest, it is not very masculine. Here is the exact same color on target's site: http://www.target.com/Graco-SnugRide...t%20Car%20Seat

PM me if it will work for him! Also, this will clip into Graco strollers, and it also works with Jeep jogging strollers (which is what I have).
