Help a brother out; Children's burn clinic in Iraq

So, I have a military/internet buddy who's a medic. He just arrived at LSA SCANIA in Iraq a couple weeks ago, and he discovered a children's burn clinic there, that needs some serious help. He sent me this e-mail today, asking for help. Nothing special, and no cash, just basic OTC drugs, bandages, kids clothing and toys. If anyone feels the need to contribute, here is a copy of his letter and his APO address. He'll gladly take anything you care to send that a burned child could use.

"Hello Everyone! Just got to Camp Scania here in balmy Iraq and as you all know, there is a Burn Center here that is totally dedicated to the treatment of Iraqi civilians who have suffered tramatic burns. Most of these victims are children.

I am with SOC and we are providing the force protection on Camp Scania. We have taken a personal interest in improving this facility as it is totally ran and operated by VOLUNTEERS.

Up until last week, there wasn't a triage area at this clinic and a little girl died because the medics were not aware of her injuries. With this being said, there has to be changes made fast!!!

What we are looking for is simple. Any medical supplies that you can spare and toys. If you are in country, APO to APO shipping is free. Don't really expect any of you guys who are OCONUS to have any childrens clothes, but all of you who are CONUS, send them if you don't need them. Any shape, any size.

Anything you send will be greatly appreciated."

Again, folks, please don't send any prohibited items, and no cash. We don't need to get Mr. Compton in trouble, or me, for that matter.

Thanks a bunch!
