Thanks to the generosity of Roberto De Los Santos we were able to obtain a large number of sheets for the Hogar de Ninas Hijas de la Altagracia in Bani, Dominican Republic. Given the quantity, we are sure the religious sisters in charge of the orphanage will distribute them fairly amongst the residents of the Hogar, the three senior citizen centers under their supervision, and their other ministries within the local community. We would also like to thank Martinez Cargo for allowing the use of their premises for the packing of the boxes, and for the generous discount on the shipping fees for the 6 boxes packed.
Mercedes's SUV was packed to the hilt with sheets, even after having removed a large quantity from the trunk...
Elsa & Mercedes packing the boxes, maximizing every bit of available space... They were able to pack a minimum of 75 sheets in each box.
After packing 6 boxes Elsa & Mercedes were ready for a break...

Thanks to the generosity of our many donors, we were able to fill-up 6 boxes with donated clothing items, for distribution to needy people in the Dominican Republic. We are counting on our religious sisters at the Hogar de Ninas Hijas de la Altagracia to distribute these donations within the organizations they support, including needy Haitian families in the community.
Special thanks to Mercedes & Enrique for offering their garage as a “packing area”, complete with hot chocolate (it was 41 degrees when we started) and musical entertainment to make the job more enjoyable, for helping with the transportation of the boxes to Martinez Cargo Express (for final shipment to the Dominican Republic), and for financing all shipping charges. God bless you for your generosity and jovial hospitality!
THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION FOUNDATION GREATLY APPRECIATES THE COOPERATION WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE FROM THE OWNERS AND EMPLOYEES OF MARTINEZ CARGO EXPRESS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING US WITH OUR MISSION IN THE HOGAR DE NINAS HIJAS DE LA ALTAGRACIA. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Since the beginning of December last year Elsa had been packing donated used clothes and locally purchased non-perishable items. Today she transported 3 boxes (18x18x28 each) to Martinez Cargo in Orlando, for shipment to the Hogar de Ninas Hijas de la Altagracia in El Llano, Bani. Great job, Elsa!

Thanks to the generous donations of cash (used to buy grocery items), clothing, and misc. articles, we were able to fill-up two additional boxes to send to the Hogar de Ninas in El Llano, Bani, Dominican Republic. One box was delivered to the shipping company on Dec. 5, and the other on Dec. 11. Thank you to all who contributed to this worthy effort, which will make a big difference in the celebration of Christmas for the 27 girls currently residing at the Hogar de Ninas.

Through the generosity of our donors, we were able to fill 5 boxes with food items, gifts, and clothes for shipping to the Hogar de Ninas Hijas de la Altagracia, in El Llano, Bani, Dominican Republic. We are counting on our shipping partner, Martinez Cargo in Orlando, to deliver those boxes by mid December, before Christmas, since their content includes one small plastic box for each of the girls in the Hogar, with small gifts according to their ages.
The food items will also be welcome by the sisters at the Hogar, since they had let us know a few days ago that their food pantry was near empty… We hope the monthly monetary donation we sent on the 1st of December, which was doubled as it’s customary for the Christmas month, will provide the resources for them to purchase whatever food is necessary, while the boxes are in-transit.
ON BEHALF OF THE MEMBERS OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION FOUNDATION AND THE RESIDENTS AND STAFF OF THE HOGAR DE NINAS HIJAS DE LA ALTAGRACIA, MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS EFFORT, EITHER THROUGH THEIR MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS, OR THROUGH THEIR INVESTMENT OF PERSONAL TIME AND RESOURCES. GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
