Thanks so much ladies it just really hit home today how lucky we are as i stare at my two beautiful girls that i get to be with every minute of every day. Pilotsprincess if you were willing to donate a few things that would be great and i can pass them onto her? If your willing and able? I have been talking to my housmaid about this and she knows a few ladies in a similar situtations. I have also contacted a few of my friends who are also going to pass on some things. Thanks ladies.

Why don't you ask amongst your friends for gently used baby clothes and items and give her a box full. My experience has been that expats are very generous when they know things are going to a good cause. If everyone assisted in some small way the people we come in contact with in our day to day life, things would be a lot easier on a lot of low income earners here.
email me at [email protected] if you need some ideas.
I'd be really interested in this too. I've got loads of stuff and would happily donate it to housemaids and lower income workers who are in the similar situation to the lady in Spinneys you refer to. I can't imagine having to leave my kids for months / years on end to provide them with a better life. If there is such a collection charity count me in.
Hi all, i was talking to a lady that works in my local spinneys and she is 6months pregnant. Its so sad that she has to go home have her baby and leave him with her father when she comes back to work after about a month. I am sure there are many more in her position too. I have given her all my old baby things that i can, but im wondering if there is some sort of charity set up here that i dont know about to help out people in her situation. She hasnt asked me for a hand out and is very pragmatic about the whole situtation. It just got me thinking. How many baby things do we all have sitting in our house/apartment that we could donate? Is there a place for this? Just curious. Many thanks
