Dummies / pacifiers wanted !!!!!!!!

[laura piper]

Hi There

My son and i are trying to collect as many dummies as we can for an orphanage in the Ukraine.
If you have any around the house that you never used or sample ones from sample baby packs that you would like to send then we would love to receive them !!!!!
You can send them to

***name and address removed by moderator, please request via PM***

We look forward to hearing from you and wish you all a very happy new year :party:

THANK YOU

[dannii]

how does that work? how many dummies do you need and what does the orphanage get?

good luck

[laura piper]

we will be sending all the dummies that we receive to the orphanage.

[laura piper]

We would love to receive 100 dummies all up . That would give each baby 2 dummies each [ for ahile anyway]:) :)

[dannii]

what do they get out of it?

i usually have a heap of dummies, but in use at the moment. though wont be long and i will be cutting ties with them all. :yes:

i think they want new/unused dummies

[dannii]

oh sorry posted at the same time.

oh they will use them? sorry thought it was like that other thread where they needed to collect so many ring pulls to receive a new wheelchair for the lil boy.

i thought it was that type of thing

[dannii]

i think they want new/unused dummies

:o hmmm im not with it today, sorry :laughing:

good luck with the getting enough dummies.

[laura piper]

THANKS :thumbsup:

[oleander]

I have unused dummies still in the packet which I will happily send to you:) Is there anything else the kids need that we can send?

[laura piper]

That is really nice of you.
LAst time i sent a whole heap of things that i bought but the postage to Ukraine was over $150 so i was only wanting to collect small light things. They don't have dummies or anything to play with. It is a baby orphange with over 100 babie between newborn and 4years. The babies just sit in there cots all day on a vinyl mattress and no toys. I thought i also might try my luck at finding coloured rattles, teething rings or cloth books. You know anything like that :)

[~EmsMum~]

can they be any brand?

[laura piper]

yes any brand would be fantastic

[neeky]

i have one floating around here somewhere i think if i can find it i will send it your way. and anything else i can find that may be appropriate

[laura piper]

THANK YOU:smiliedance:

[oleander]

Those cloth books are really light so I'll send some of those too and anything else lightweight I can think of:) Im so happy to be able to help:yes:

[oleander]

Can I be nosey and ask how you know about the orphanage? Do you work for an organisation like save the children?

[laura piper]

No No... nothing like that
I am just a house wife with 2 kids. I read about orphanages in a magazine one day and got on the net to see how i could help. It gives me something to do. . .
You can have a look at where i am sending this stuff if you like. Go to

[the_original_duchess]

i pasted like about 6 new dummies still in the package& 4 new teething rings. but then i went into target adn decided to buy a little rattle and a poohbear material book too. posted them at around 2pm, in the middle of walking around trying to get my baby to move, i had my u/s today adn he was in a bad position, so i decided to do teh shopping adn send the stuff.
you should get them by friday hopefully, please let me know when you do!!!

[laura piper]

You have no idea how big the smile is on my face right now.. for you to actually go out shopping for these children is amazing. You are truely a good person with a heart of gold. Your own children are very lucky to have you :angel:

[oleander]

Hi Laura, just wondering whether you got my parcel yet?

[laura piper]

no i didn't !!! I waited for the posty today because i knew you had sent the parcel [our first... yah !!!] but he drove right past the house. Even turned the bell up outside to make sure i heard the delivery man but nothing.
TOMORROW:fingerscrossed:

[oleander]

I posted it on Thursday afternoon from the post office. Come to think of it, I haven't had ANY mail nor have I seen or heard the postie man so maybe they are still a bit back-logged with post from all these public holidays. Oh well, it will get there I'm sure sometime this week:thumbsup:

[jessi]

I posted my package yesterday! :fingerscrossed: it doesnt take too long to get there!

[Fitmumma]

I have sent you a PM, I have lots to give, those poor children live in terrible conditions compared to our bubs, it was heartbreaking.:gloomy:
I would love to help:yes:

[T4TROUBLE]

Hi,
Just wondering would it make it easyer for postage cost so you dont have to pay for it all if we posted it overseas ourselves?

Its a very kind gesture that everyone is doing.

T4.

[laura piper]

I read on the site that the box has to be so big [if not it would just get lost in transision because its on the other side of the world... something like that anyway] so that is why i was trying to fit as many things as i could in the box i am sending.
But yeah... due to the feedback i have received i think alot of people will be getting there own boxes together. I think that is great !!!!:smiliedance:
Like i said.. i am only a bored house wife trying to keep busy and came across the website myself. :D

[mumstar]

i have sent some off to you today!

[laura piper]

:smiliedance: Thank you ...
I will PM you when it arrives :thumbsup:

[laura piper]

A big THANK YOU to

Rebekah from North Rocks
and
Jessi from Margate Beach
for your contribution to our dummy collection. :thumbsup:

[justrace]

Did you need bottle teats? For some reason I was given about 40 of these, all new/unused. Funny really, as I breastfeed.

Let me know if you want me to send them.

[jessi]

No problem Laura!

[mumstar]

49 now thats fantastic!

[mumtojane]

I might have some too, I'll have a look and Pm if I find some :)

[blueangel]

I bought some Dummies to post to you, just wondering if I can cut the top of the cardboard packaging off so they are easier to post?? PM me your address too when you get a chance.
I think it is a great thing you are doing and feel it is the least we can do to help.

[Fitmumma]

I posted my parcel away to you on Wednesday Laura, so you should recieve it soon.....:)

[laura piper]

Thank you to everyone who has sent us parcels of dummies and other baby products. The response has been FANTASTIC and very overwelming
We counted 70 today !!!!!:yes: :smiliedance: :yes: :smiliedance:

[mumstar]

thats really great... keep up the good work!!!!

[neeshNgeorgia]

This is such an amazing thing u are doing and how little thought it must have taken for u to send a post on here and for everyone to get behind u. :yelclap: Big applause to u and ur son and all u guys who have contributed!!
We would love to help in ne way! i will look around the house tonight and see what i can find i'm sure there is something still in the packet that we can send to u for these little kiddies.

GOOD WORK!!

[laura piper]

Hey guys
Just reading through some messages and alot of people cannot contribute with dummies but there are other things that i am trying to collect.
I was wanting the box to be as light as possible [i know that sounds terrible but the postage will be over $100 already] so things like rattles, teething rings, cloth books/ bath books. They don't have to be new just in good condition [i will sterilise/ wash them before i send them]
Hope that helps those people who wish to contribute in another way.
little less then 3 weeks to go before we hope to send them :smiliedance:

[lovingmotheract]

hey there thanks 4 the e-mail add i just had a look at is and omg it's so sad i just cryed they need so much like toys 4 big kids and little kids and shoes the kids don't get out much and so they don't get Vitamin D , nappys (cloth) and they need teathing gels nappy cream cloths and ask at baby stores and see if they can donate some thing every little bit helps.

[Ffrenchstar]

Can i have a PM with the address too please as i would love to give what i can !

[catalicious]

Could you send me your address i only found 2 still in packets but I will send those 2 anyways.

[stilldreaming]

It doesn't matter if they are not in packets does it? I have a HEAP to send you that have been tried once. ds has a particular type of dummy :rolleyes: that has been discontinued so we have been buying other types to no avail.
PM me your address and I will post them off tomorrow if they are suitable......I'm sure I can find other stuff too:detective:

[laura piper]

Thank you to SCARLETT

Because of your contribution of 21 dummies our count is :

99 Dummies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:smiliedance: !!!!!

We are overwelmed !!!!:yelclap:

[mells]

omg If i read this about a month ago you could have had a few new dummies and pack of wet ones and mini baby powder and soft toys and bibs I recently went on a flight and got a couple of baby packs for my daughter whose nearly two so were no good to me and i just left them on the plane next time i will keep them and let you know

you are doing a wonderful thing maybe try emailing some airlines Like quantas etc as there are always that type of stuff left on planes unopened as ppl dont need it and cant take it with them or dont want it

[DB&O]

Hi :wave: I've sent you a PM asking for your address as I have several things that I would love to send to you, this is fantastic, what a lovely idea, a great way for us to make a small difference.

Keep up the fab work bubhubbers :kiss:

Still dreaming for the dummies, toys and the postage money. . . that made my week:kiss:
Thank you also to SUE for the dummies. THANK YOU:thumbsup:
I think a few more people have sent parcel that should arrive this weeek and early next week and then i will leave it at that.
I am going to take a photo of all the dummies that we have collect and figure out how to get that too you all
I will then send them off and depending on which orphanage they go to ... they will post it on the website with a photo so i will be sure to let you all know when that happens.
Your all very kind and generous people for helping out. It is hard as a mother to think of these poor parentless children but thanks to you all they may just get some comfort for at least a day :yelclap:

[Eternity]

I have a few things I can send you, are you still sending them? can you please pm me your address if you are:) :) I feel so sad to think of all those babies just laying there all day in their cots with nothing not even a rattle breaks my heart :crying: thank you for being so kind we need more people out there like you:hugs:

[mixeymum]
