Knit a Barnabas Bear to go to Honduras and comfort a surgery patient. 
 

These special stuffed animals to the Barnabas House to be given to children in FOBF's Extended Care program as they prepare for or recover from surgery.  Just knit a bear, give it a big hug and send it to us - we will get it to a child.

Sew a baby sling to help a mother care for her child.
 

These simple slings allow a mother to carry and feed her child with ease.  Some mother must walk for miles with their children to get anywhere.

Collect eyeglasses for our eye clinics in Honduras:

We work in conjunction with Lions International to get eyeglasses to Honduran adults and children who would never have a chance to have them.  You can help by having a collection box at your church or workplace.  When it gets full, send them to us, and their journey begins!
