We would like to welcome you to our site and thank everyone who helped make this program so successful over the last 5 years. As we enter into our 6th year, our success depends solely on the many generous people like you working together SENDING TOYS to the Troops stationed overseas. We continue to add new Points of Contacts periodically and our list continues to grow.

The troops look forward to receiving and distributing the items you ship creating long lasting friendships and sharing smiles with children where many live in extreme poverty. Your support is very much appreciated and the requests from the troops remains strong.



Please email us at info@beaniesforbaghdad.com for the current mailing addresses of our Points of Contact who will ensure your donations get to the kids who need your support the most. To date, Beanies for Baghdad has received and distributed over 1 MILLION TOYS and tons of school supplies to the children of War Torn Iraq, Afghanistan and now Kosovo!!!

The Beanies Are Coming!

"My name is CPT Eric Wigley, and I am the commander for the 511th Military Police Company. My unit is currently deployed to Iraq...Al Kut, specifically. I do, however, have a platoon located further south. I was visiting them recently, and their platoon sergeant, Sergeant First Class Trayton Crow, had just received a few boxes from your organization. He told me about the program and was thrilled to see the beanie babies come in. He was ecstatic. You wouldn't believe the ear-to-ear grin on his face. The most senior individual in this platoon of over 40 Soldiers was the youngest in spirit, if only for a moment. As the Soldiers stopped by the operations center, for various reasons, they were joyous to find the pile of animals staring at them. We work with the local police, and "community policing" is a concept that we are working diligently to pass on. There are many people fighting across the country, but the policeman is someone that children should learn to run towards during crisis situations. There are various situations that put us out in the cities with the Iraqi Police interacting with the children, whether in parks, near their schools, while putting on medical clinics at stations, or just walking the streets. These beanies are a great way to communicate affection and begin to build trust. Thank you so much for your efforts, as they have made a huge contribution. Not only does it bring a smile to the face of a child, it warms the hearts of my Soldiers and the Iraqi Police as they create that smile. Thank you for the support that you have provided this platoon, but I do have a request. Is there any way that we could receive a few boxes for the two platoons that I have with me in Al Kut? It's a great idea, and I would love to be able to do for the kids in the cities around us that my other platoon does down south. If this is possible, please let me know! We have more than 80 Soldiers that go out on mission daily, operating primarily in two cities and various villages. Again, thank you for the support that you've provided to my Soldiers, and I think that your program is wonderful."

Respectfully,

Eric Wigley
CPT, MP
