American Health Society founder and president J. R. Gordon is calling on the community for help. The Orphans of War Campaign collects dolls, stuffed animals, Beanie Babies and the like, and overseas troops distribute the toys to children in war-torn regions.
“Every $25 sends a box, and every box has approximately 100 stuffed toys that our troops carry with their cargo. These wars won't be won with bullets, and our symbolic bears represent security and love,” he said.
Gordon will be leaving for Baghdad soon as the only American representative to the International Orphans of War Conference. For more information or to donate, call 561-361-9091.
