I understand that items collected that are used MUST be in excellent condition (ie. mattresses must have zero stains and must be near new, no broken or chipped furniture or kitchen items, pots and pans cannot have scratches on the Teflon surface.... ideally all items would be purchased new, and any used items would be in fantastic, hardly used shape). If everything is purchased new, the cost of sponsorship ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 per family (depending on the size of the family).
