What an amazing, honest, and beautiful organization!
Jill Henderson, who taught my son at Brentwood School, recommended we contact you. I belong to an organization that makes dolls & teddie bears and donates them to underpriveledged children all over the world. For more information, please look up our website: dolliesmakingadifference.com We would like to donate our dolls & teddies to the children Floating Doctors treat. Jill has talk to someone within your organization and said you would be willing to take our dolls & teddies and give them to the children you work with.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Marsha,
Thank you so much for getting in contact–we would be honored to accept a donation of dolls for the kids in the communities we visit! Please let me know whatever I can do to help. We can receive shipments for free (if they aren’t too large, say bigger than one 4 x 4 x 4 pallet) through a shipper in Florida who donates container space for us, with no customs fees attached to our donated material if it is sent to the receiving warehouse in florida.
Thank you again! Can’t wait to help put some smiles on some little kids’ faces!
Fair Winds,

Hey Ben!
We are missing Bocas but enjoying family and friends and I am getting restocked with meds.
I have met a man who is interested in getting you some equipment if it is possible. He is in the hospital equipment liquidation business and would like a list of any equipment you need. I would also recommend you incude any meds you may be getting low on etc. Also, a way to ship things he may be able to get…..address, method of packing, carrier, costs, etc…..and any limitations in size, weight, content, etc. It all will be donated. He says he cannot promise anything, but will seize the opportunity to try to get as many items on your wish-list as possible. Hope all is well in Bocas and with you.
We will be returning early April…..you can email me your list whenever you have an unlikely free
moment.
