So I got off here rather quickly yesterday....I was in a hurry we were going to the hospital to donate more packages.  They were well received and I am so glad that we started this program.

I received an email this morning from a local friend, she has a close friend who had a baby boy...and sadly 3 days later he passed away due to heart problems, and she wanted to buy a package for her.  I couldn't let her buy one...we will give her one!  That's what we are here for. Yes, these packages were supposed to be donated to Dr's and hospitals but essentially they are for the mommy's.....my heart just aches for her.  Losing your baby is hard!  And I hate that anyone ever has to experience it!  I pray that in the future that Ian's elephants gets so big that whenever we get a message telling us there's a need we can automatically send them a package without having to say...I'm sorry we don't have any more. we just ran out....can you wait 3-5 weeks? I am over whelmed with how fast Ian's Elephants is growing but I know that God will send donations, He will send volunteers, and He will send me the courage I need to get the word out.

Here's the pictures I promised!  (sorry they are out of order)
