It’s Donor Maker to Toy Maker to Smile Maker
With hospital deliveries, the gifts ship direct from the toy company to the children’s hospital. With orphaned and abused children the delivery depends if the individual child is with a foster family, or in institutional care. Gifts 4 Smiles fulfills the delivery to the children either direct from the U.S. company, or individually via UPS.
And, when the gifts are received, the lonely and sad little faces beam with big heartwarming smiles because they now have a forever friend. And afterwards, it’s repeat and repeat and repeat whenever enough donations are received to send another delivery of cherished gifts to more hospitalized and unfortunate little souls.
How to make a Child Smile
After you click “GIVE A GIFT”, you have choices. You can select if you want your donation to go to hospitalized, or abused children? And, if you want your gift to be considered as a “Public Donation” or “Partner Donation”.
Public Donation – 100% of your donation selection will only go to pay the gifts wholesale cost & UPS delivery to the children. Gifts 4 Smiles can do it because it is a ‘100% Plus Charity’. All of its management people are unpaid volunteers and partner donors. If necessary, they personally pay the G4S charity’s overhead for the 100% go to gifts donations option to be possible.
Partner Donation – Your donation goes 85% to pay for the gifts wholesale cost & UPS delivery and 15% goes towards G4S operating overhead for this G4S gift giving program. Overhead expenses are unavoidable and G4S’s gift giving to make sad children smile can be limited if the Public Donations are not sufficiently funded.
You can make an ill, lonely or sad child smile and give them a forever memorable friend today and whichever you decide is appreciated. Just select a child situation and the type of donation you want to make on the form after a click on the below box.
