We’re sorry for your frustrating experience, but we can help! Just contact us and we can ensure your e-cards reach their recipients as soon as possible.
  • When you purchase a gift, you can choose to send a card to your recipient through the mail. Amazing volunteers hand-write each card!  We will inscribe in the card: the giver and the recipient, what item(s) you bought, and any personalized message you give us.
  • If you wish to remain anonymous, just let us know.
  • If you want us to send you blank cards to fill in and send yourself, you can also just let us know!
  • Unfortunately no, we cannot allocate items to specific recipients.
  • If you would like your sponsored friend to receive a gift, you can send them the gift of special money. That way, they or their guardians can buy them what they would like the most.
  • 100% of your donation goes into the gift catalogue fund; none goes to administrative overhead.
  • The leaders of our sponsor sites overseas allocate your gifts to the members of their communities who need them most.
  • If more people give a specific item (such as the ever-popular goats) than our sites need that year, then they will use the funds for other items within that category (in this example, the ‘animals’ category.)
  • Because it is a donation, you (the giver) will automatically receive a charitable tax receipt. (Please note: Tax receipts cannot be sent to the honouree. Tax receipts cannot be split between people. Tax receipts will not be issued to individuals as a result of group activities such as a school or parish campaign.)
