Lonely Toys & Clothes

Dear Online Community,

While in Kazakhstan adopting our son, we have found a hole that we
would like to fill. Kids Village, the orphanage our son is from, is
funded by the government. They only receive funding for bare
essentials. We visited the house that he lives in with 7 other
children and there was only one toy in the house, a lonely yellow
remote controlled taxi - with missing batteries. The kids wear
whatever is available - all the children (boys and girls) share the
same clothes. We have decided to reach out to our community to see
what we can do to help Kids Village out! We'd like to raise money
that we can use to buy toys and clothes locally for the children at
Kids Village.

Please check out the page that we have created for this and help out
if you're able. We'd appreciate you spreading the word about Lonely
Toys so that we can help the children out as much as we can.

We can't wait to post pictures on lonely toys when we hand out all
the new clothes and toys!

We genuinely appreciate all of the support! As you can imagine, this
is very close to our hearts and we see the void here with our own eyes
everyday. We know first-hand how much the simple things can improve
these kids' lives!

Love,
Dustin & Cortney Stone

This breaks my heart that the older kids are so forgotten.

I wanted to say, I'm following your journey and have posted the link to your lonelytoys blog to Facebook. Hopefully you can get some help for those kids. I'm with Karon - it is so sad to see the older kids forgotten.

I don't know why but I can't get to your page. Could you post another link?

Thanks
