Princess Satra said 200 pairs of shoes, clothes and toys were stolen from two containers while she was on a months-long trip to Africa.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville non-profit founder is supposed to be making final preparations for a holiday clothes and toy donation to kids in Africa.
Instead, Princess Satra returned home from a months long trip to Africa to find her two shipping containers of donations ransacked.
“This is what was left,” Satra said while staring at her containers.
Satra is the founder of CHESS, which stands for Children’s Health Education & Safety.
Satra spent the last four years collecting unused toys and clothes from her Out East neighborhood.
She organized everything in the shipping containers and planned to ship the donations to one of her nonprofit chapters in Africa for the holidays.

Thursday night when she got home from Africa, she discovered how fast four years of work could disappear.
“They said it was someone living in van and living in my property while I was gone, and that person took whatever he wanted out of the containers and off of my property’s and sold the stuff here in the community,” Satra said in disbelief.
Friday morning, she filed a police report and is working on gathering information from her neighbors.
“I don’t even know how to start cleaning all this up or I don’t want to clean it all up I don’t want to touch any of it,” Satra said.
Satra is asking the community for donations to help salvage her holiday shipment to the kids in Africa.
