This was on my porch with a donation of pads. ❤️❤️
Last night we packed bags with the ASU MedLife group. MedLife had received a grant to purchase dental hygiene products which Lily, one of their members, will take to Viet Nam and Laos this summer, as well as other hygiene products that will be taken to Peru this summer.
