Can I donate used toys?
YES! We will happily accept used toys. So, clean out your kid's toy box and bedroom and send us the toys that they no longer play with or have already mastered! We're specifically looking for educational toys and puzzles that meet the requirements on our donation page. If you're not sure if something will work, email us and we'll let you know.

Can I purchase something and send it directly to you?
YES! Our amazon wish list is a great way to do this! The shipping address is already linked to the wish list and on most Amazon purchases, you can receive free shipping as long as you spend at least $25. This is the EASIEST way to help us collect supplies. ALL donations sent this way ARE tax deductible donations too!

Would you rather we donate money or supplies? 
We will gladly take either! We would prefer that people order the supplies that we need and send those to us. But, we can easily take donated money and buy the supplies ourselves too. We will also gladly take Toys R US giftcards, Wal-Mart gift cards or cards from any other place where the supplies that we need can be purchased. We certainly don't mind doing the shopping for you!

Can my local group do something to help?
YES! We would love for local Down syndrome groups (or churches, Sunday School classes, girl scout troops, etc) to embrace this project and help us to provide for these families in Eastern Europe. As a group, your local organization can send a monetary donation or collect new and/or used toys and therapy supplies and send those to us. Any organization that donates to this project will be recognized as a sponsor on our website!

What is the greatest need right now?
Everything. We need the items on the wish list, we need people to donate money to buy the supplies, we need people to spread the word and collect donations, we need organizations to partner with us and provide funds and/or supplies.
We have people willing to assemble to supplies to take and ship to Eastern Europe, we have families in Eastern Europe ready to use the supplies with their children.....now, we just need the stuff! We need your help!

Are donations tax deductible? 

Yes! Your donations are 100% tax deductible! Reece's Rainbow is a 501(c)3 organization. 

When are you going to Bulgaria?

We're still waiting on a date. This trip is being scheduled around Shelly and her husband's adoption of 7 year old Kullen, who is currently living in an institution in Bulgaria. As soon as we get the travel date, you can be sure we'll make a huge announcement! Right now we're hoping for the end of March or beginning of April 2010.

How are you getting the items to Bulgaria?

Because we already have a trip planned, it's much more cost effective for us to bring the things with us, rather than having them shipped. So, we'll be living out of our carry-on bag, and will each have 3 large suitcases full of supplies! And, we WILL have full suitcases.
