I'm still having issues contacting my uncle for soaps. However, I will keep trying to get through to him. I'm still on the look out for things that could help with dental hygiene, like toothbrushes or toothpaste. Also, I'm still watching for foods that could be given to the homeless. One food I saw was Vienna Sausages, and I thought it was an awesome idea; they're relatively cheap, they're soft so teeth issues don't matter as much, and they don't need a can opener because it has a pull-tab. But, I went and did some reading, and found out that that may not be the best idea. The homeless wouldn't have anywhere to cook the sausages, which could lead to botulism (a really bad disease). Botulism, if left untreated, can kill people; and homeless people can't afford the treatment. I'd feel really bad if a homeless person died because of something I gave them. Now I need to keep my eyes peeled for other foods, like soft granola bars or even fruit snacks, possibly.
