Today I tried to teach Westley about the military and their needs over seas. I showed him the website www.anysoldier.com where troops will post things that they need. Most of the time the needs are simple - hygiene items like toothpaste and soap, and snacks. I showed Westley some pictures that some have posted with their requests. Then I read him one of the messages posted about what they needed. I had already bought the items, but he helped me fill the box. We included a couple pictures, pieces of artwork, including the flag he made on Veteran's Day, and a quick note. Together we went to the post office and mailed it off.
I have been occasionally sending care packages for a couple of years now, but this was the first time I involved Westley. Next time, I will take him shopping with me. Most items can be found at the dollar store.
I encourage everyone to check out the website!!
