“It’s hard for us to be away from family, friends, and home. The care packages that are sent from back home really brighten a day and bring smiles to faces. Sometimes they contain necessities like hygiene items such as shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. Other times they may have games, snacks, or candy. No matter what’s in the package they are always a nice surprise and connection to home. They make a huge difference in keeping spirits up!”
