Hi, It's been awhile since I've been here but I'm hoping someone can help me. There are a couple of soldiers with my sons unit in Afghanistan who my son said are not receiving any care packages from home. This breaks my heart. I have two sons in the Army and I've always made sure that while they were deployed they had most anything they needed. I was hoping to get volunteers to send things to these two young men. I will also be sending things to them. Please send me a message if you are interested in helping and I'll give you their address and some things that they need. Thanks to everyone in advance.

I have been sending packages to my son in Afghanistan and he's been sharing items with other soldiers who haven't had anything sent to them. Not everything I send is a home run! My son is also lucky enough to have a great group of friends and relatives who have also been sending items. I would love to share stuff with any soldier not as fortunate as mine in getting "goodies" from home. Please let me know what I can do to help-Let me know how to reach you as I don't want to violate any security policies on this site. Thanks!

Hi Samsmom,
