Esther Petrie has been collecting and sending used, outdated, leftover, and retired medical equipment to needy areas all over the world since 1990. Esther gets phone calls from strangers wanting to know if they can take a box to a foreign country they are traveling to.

She canot accept dialysis eqipment or medications. She does need BIG, UNBEAUTIFUL suitcases or duffle bags. She can use them even if they have flaws, as long as duct tape can make them useable.
