Care Package Suggestions

Because so many of you have asked, we have come up with this list of items that are permissible and would also be useful to Jordan in a care package. These are not the only things that are permissible, but just the things we could come up with at the time. If you have any questions, just email one of us. While Jordan would love to get any of these things in a package, I 'm sure he would cherish most a note of encouragement and appreciate your prayers more than anything. Thank you!
