1. Wish Lists for La Cucarita

As many of you know, in 2008, I spent some time teaching, writing, and learning in La Cucarita, a small village in the mountains of the Dominican Republic. 

By my 30th birthday, I'd love it if my friends and family (all of you!) would send needed supplies to the village. The kids and families could use new books, new toys, and new rain boots. 

Below are three Amazon "Wish Lists" with 30 items on each list. When you purchase an item, it will be shipped to the Dioceses in Orlando, where Sister Bernie will collect everything and deliver it to La Cucarita.

I've made it easy for you to give. Just click below and do something simple that will have a lasting impact on the lives of others. Please click below and give generously!

Thanks in advance for all your generosity.

abrazos fuertes,

Li Yun
