Ok, Now we have but only 3 weeks left to the event.
Remember, we can't bring all the toys down from Baja Bound in one trip, we have to (smugle) them into México a few at a time and that takes a lot,
it's called contrabando hormiga, so now is when we need to really start receiving toys.
If you want to help and don't know what to buy, we need a lot of wrapping paper and tape to go with it, even those leftover rolls you have can help.
We've used ToysRUs egift cards for that in the past.
Once again, Baja Bound is were the drop off for toys and donations is, the information is:
Toy Drive c/o Baja Bound Insurance Services, Inc.
750 11th Avenue #101
San Diego, CA 92101
Phone (619) 702-4292
You can send a donation also via Paypal, the email is fernando@vivabajacalifornia.com
saludos y gracias
Fernando

Hi Fernando,
Happy to report that my daughter Sara is flying in from Denver to join us. She and Jesse joined us a couple of years ago and the day was a great
experience for them.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and thanks to all for your participation!

What is also always a hit are Barbie dolls for little girls, those are not expensive. For the early teen girls, make up kits are great, maybe hair
styling kits or items for young teen girls.
Toy trucks and cars for the little boys and Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles... for the teen boys.
