Sylvia and her brothers felt loved by someone

Granted by Heroes: 4myson
There is a little, orphan girl, Sylvia, in Uganda. She lives in an orphange that my friend, Edward, runs. She is ten years old or so. They don't know her exact age because she has no birth certificate. She has 2 baby brothers that she has to care for. They are about 7 and 8. Her parents died of AIDs. She needs clothes and shoes, and so do her brothers. I know I can't help all the world, but I would like to help this little one, her brothers and her youngest brother's friend, who also lives at the orphanage. The three boys need sizes 6/7, 7/8 and 8/10, and about sizes 2, 3 and 4 in shoes. Sylvia needs about a 12/14 or 14/16 dress and her underwear size would be about a 12 or maybe a 10. Her shoe size is about 5 or 6. Edward has 126 kids at the orphanage and these 4, I really want to help to start with. If some heroes could help, maybe we could help more. I am willing to cover postage--I just need help with getting things put together to help the kids. The need clothes and shoes. Used would be welcome!!! These kids have never BEEN loved by a family and I want them to know that someone cares about them the way that Jesus does and the way that Edward and his co-workers (seven of them all together, including Edward) care. So, if you have any used or new clothes or shoes to offer, really for any age child from 12 months to age 16, I would appreciate it and so would they. Socks are also needed, as is bar soap. I made a Walmart wishlist ONLY TO GIVE YOU an idea of what is NEEDED. ANYTHING for boys or girls in any sizes is welcome. The orphanage houses kids from the ages of about a year to age 16. Again, Sylvia is about 10, her brothers are about 7 and 8, and their friend is 7 or so. Is anyone willing to help show these kids some love? The wishlist link is below. It is under Tori McWilliams if the link doesn't work/ God bless you!!!

I talked to the post office-- flat rate shipping to Uganda for a 20 pound box (flat rate) is $60, but domeasic shipping for the same size box is about $20.

How much would shipping to Uganda cost for a box...

Used clothing is welcome, any sizes that would work for kids age 12 months to age 16--these orphans appreciate anything that shows them someone cares. Shoes can even be used...I would clean them up before shipping them.
