Beanies For Baghdad

<p>My son told me about the Beanies For Baghdad Program. They take donations of other items in addition to Beanie Babies.

<p>We had about 40 Beanie Babies that were just sitting on a shelf. I contacted this program and they gave me an address to send the Beanies to. I figure they will do more good in Iraq than sitting in my house. :)</p>

<p>That is a wonderful program! Those pictures are just precious!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm sure we all have beanies sitting around....wow, amazing what one dusty Beanie can do for a child! :) Awesome!</p>

<p>Yesterday I received a very nice letter from the soldier I sent the Beanies to. I didn't expect to hear back so it was a nice surprise. She is a mental health specialist in Baghdad. She will be sending me some pictures of the kids receiving the Beanies.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the link. We have a lot of beanie babies (yes, to my embarrassment, we were caught up in the whole obsessive search for the elusive beanie) and will be thrilled to find something positive to do with them.</p>
