There are a lot of organizations that are that bad..or worse...about letting you know things arrived safely. I'm still waiting to hear if my quilts for Japan got there! (as well as a couple of other places...I also asked for some extra labels from Quilts for Kids and no one bothered to answer, so guess what? I found another place to give back to!) I realize that those organizations are often short-handed, but the least they could do is email you an answer to your question...and no, I'm not looking for kudos either, just confirmation that things got where they were supposed to be! I too am one of those blessed and a believer in giving back...but it sure is difficult sometimes!
