Dear Neighborhood,
My name is Benjamin Pappas and my sister,Colette, and I did the yard sale.  Thank you for coming by and buying stuff and donating.  You helped raise $1038.78.  I will use it to buy toys for the toy chest at Duke.
Thank you lots.
Benjamin
 
 
From Benjamin and Colette's mom:  My contact for what is needed in the toy chests at Duke Children's is Edith Rosenblatt.  I will contact her to see what types of toys do they need, such as more for babies or more for teenagers.  The nurses also give their input.  Just as an FYI, Duke, UNC, Wake, and Rex all share patients so these toys go to kids from all over the state, the country, and the world.  If you find NEW toys in a closet and don't know what to do with them feel free to contact me and we will take them to the toy chests.  The only stipulation is that they are NEW.
Pax,
Ruthie Pappas
