A parent here at the Mission needs underwear and bras, and we don't have any of these items in her size. Her two children also need summer clothing and shoes.
This family has been with us for a few weeks, and the items they brought in with them need to be discarded. We believe that every single person has sacred value, and we do all we can to preserve the dignity of the clients at the Mission. A key way we preserve their dignity is to give them the essential items they need.
The parent wears size M in ladies' underwear. Her bra size is 32A. We never receive this size when we get donations.
The children's sizes are as follows:
*5t for girl's pants, shirts , dresses, and shorts.
*7/8 for boy's pants and shirts.
*Girl size 8 in shoes.
*Boy size 2 in shoes.
We have requested clothing from Note in the Pocket for another family, and it took a month to get the items delivered. Our hope is this request will ensure this family has their essentials much more quickly.
