We have too many sponsers/contacts and they keep growing faster than we can respond to them. I want to close my Anysoldier website.

When we have anything extra whether it's hygiene items, clothes, toys, or food, we take it to the clinic to distribute to the kids. There's nothing better than a smile on children's innocent faces when they enjoy the taste of an American candy.
We always look forward to the day when we get mail. It's such a morale booster. It's a great feeling to receive letters, greeting cards, and care packages. In an instant, life feels wonderful...
We really really really need:
Motorola TalkAbout Radios Model # T5512/inexpensive Head Lamps/
Brown Half-sleeve loose-fit Under Armor shirts (M/L/XL)/5.11 socks/weigh scale
If that's not possible, we would love to have:
NutriGrain and granola and breakfast cereal bars / flavored oat meal zeebra cakes / little debbie cakes / hostess cakes / chocolate-flavor snack pack pudding / baby wipes / Mach 3 Power razors / new DVD releases / pepperidge farm distinctive cookies / oreos / chips ahoy / fruit twistables / cheez-its
beef jerky nuggets / doritoes / cheetos / pringles / funions / flavour-ice freeze pops / bottled mountain dew / easy cheese / chicken biscuits crackers / spaghetti-o’s / gatorade / powerade / pre-mixed kool-aid / tang powder drinks / air freshener / scented candles / dust remover spray / sports and car magazines / tuna meals / tons of ramen and cup noodles / Kraft meals / Easy Mac / microwaveable meals

Since we have no access to PX, mail from AnySoldier is the only way we can request our needs and wants. The occasional rain somewhat helps to offset the scorching sun. Flies are everywhere. Malaria and water-borne illnesses are quite prevalent. Locals come from very far places to receive medical and dental treatment at our clinic. It would be great to have...
Small 110v heaters for upcoming winter
Lots of baby wipes and hand-sanitizer
Plastic reusable earplugs (connected with a cord)
Fly traps & fly catchers
Mach 3 turbo razors & Electric razors
Air freshener & Scented candles
Air duster spray
Protein powder
Mountain Dew bottles
Microwaveable bowls
Kraft dinners & Easy Mac & Microwaveable meals
Oreos & chips ahoy cookies & debbie snacks
Ramen & cup noodles
Gatorade & Powerade & Tang & already mixed Kool-aid & Gookinaid powder drinks
Gummy fruit snacks & gummy lifesavers
Easy Cheese & Crackers & Chicken Biscuits...hmm...sooo yummy......

I have received many care packages and letters of support so far. I email and/or write to every individual. Thanks to Anysoldier, the moral of our guys remain high even though things can get crazy anytime. Weather changes everyday. Sometimes duststorm, sometimes rain, and sometimes unbearable heat in the day, and chilly at night. We just started to receive fresh fruit for the first time. PX was supposed to come, but never did. We would love to have:
110v fans (it's very hot in the afternoon)
cookies (especially girl's scout...they are soooooooooooooooooooo yummy)
old/new cds/vcds/dvds
nail clippers
baby wipes & hand sanitizer (we can never have enough of these)
AA batteries (we can never have enough of these either)
beef jerkey/chips (like doritoes and pringles)
sunblock/sunscreen lotion
extensive care lotion for very dry skin
tooth brush/toothpaste/chapsticks/antibacterial soap/foot and baby powder
dry fruit/snacks/chocolate/candies/chewing gum/raisins
hangers/air freshner
sunflower seeds (helps to stay awake at guard during chilly nights)
tuna cans/packets/cup of noodles/microwaveable meals (we eat the same food day and night)
Thanks,

We now have approximately xxxx soldiers in our section. The PX does not come anymore to our small, isolated base. Everyday, weather changes drastically. We can't even buy food and other things from the locals because we have very little cash on us, and we don't know when the finance will come and give us money. The field sanitation condition is very poor. Mail gets here like once a month. Receiving supplies are a big issue. The other day we even ran out of water. The locals are quite friendly. So far, I have received 4 care packages and many letters. I emailed and wrote thank you letters to most of the people. I don't know when and if they'll receive those letters. I hope everyone includes an email address when they send a letter or a care package, this way I can quickly respond to them. If possible, we would love to have:
insect repellent lotion and spray (there are a lot malaria mosquitoes)
extensive care lotion for very dry skin
chapsticks
foot and baby powder
dry fruit/snacks/chocolate/candies/chewing gum/raisins
chips (like doritoes and pringles)
cookies (especially girl's scout...they are so yummy)
baby wipes (we can never have enough of these)
rubbing isopropyl/ethyl alcohol
hand sanitizer (we can never have enough of these either)
antibacterial soap
hangers
pencils and pens
trash bags
air freshner
old/new cds/vcds/dvds
sunflower seeds (helps to stay awake at guard during chilly nights)
beef jerkey
gatorade/powerade powder
tuna cans/packets
cup of noodles/microwaveable meals (we eat the same food day and night)
AA batteries
small 110v heaters (it's very cold at night)

I have been in Afghanistan for few months. My base is very small and isolated. The base has both 110v and 220v. The mobile PX (Post Exchange) comes once a month and they have very few items. Rarely they have Doritos chips, beef jerkey, and DVDs. I don't have a credit card, so I can't order movies through www.amazon.com . My guys would love to have these three things that our PX does not bring to us. Thanks.
