Christmas for My Little Brother's Orphanage 2013


Fundraising Goal: $850

UPDATE 12/5 - He made Goal!!!!!! Thank you everyone for siupporting him! Next up - shopping and shopping videos. YAY!!!!!

UPDATE 11/20/2013 - He is halfway to his fundraising goal with just over $425 in donations. THANK YOU EVERYONE for helping his project be a success!!!

There are approximately 30 orphans living in this orphanage. Without the support of US adoptions (roughly 90% of all adoptions here), there is no money available for extras like educational toys or even new slippers to wear in the playroom.  Bringing smiles to the tiny faces of these children is really quite simple and inexpensive. We've outlined the process below.

Thomas will update this blog regularly to help you track his progress. :-)

**Thomas does not have non-profit status, so contributions to this effort are not tax-deductible
***The only way to ship anything to this remote part of Russia is via USPS International Overnight. Yes, we know it is the most expensive way to ship. We also know it is the only option available.

You can help with Christmas for the orphans in one of two ways:

1) You can purchas individual items (adjusted to cover the cost of international overnight shipping).

or

2) You can purchase then entire gift package for an orphan that includes two educational toys and a pair of slippers (again, adjusted to cover the cost of international overnight shipping).

Individual Items:


1 Educational Toy - $8.00

How many educational toys would you like to send?





Slippers - $12.00

How many pairs of slippers would you like to send?





Child's Gift Package: $28.00


Includes:
1 Pair of Slippers
2 Educational Toys

How many gift packages would you like to send?
