Gifts 4 Smiles believes a child’s hospital experience can be scary and parental loss or adult abuse is a heartbreak, but when a small child is able to have a plush friend to cuddle and cling to, it can often help the loneliness.

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 in institutional care, or with a foster family. Gifts 4 Smiles then 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 other hospitalized and unfortunate little souls.
How to be a Smile Maker
There are Two Donation Choices after you select “GIVE A GIFT”. 1. You can select if you want your gift donation to either go to hospital, or abused children? And, 2. If you want to make your donation either be considered as a “Public Donation” or “Public Partner Donation”?
Public Donations – 100% of all “Public Donations” only go to the gifts wholesale cost and delivery to the recipients. Please know Gifts 4 Smiles, Inc. is a “100% Plus Us Charity”. ‘Plus Us’ means all Gifts 4 Smiles management people and officers are volunteers and some are partner donors who also personally pay the overhead expenses needed to operate the charity.
Public Partner Donations – 85% of all “Public Partner Donations” go to the gifts cost and delivery and 15% go towards Gifts 4 Smiles operating cost. Public Partner’s 15% donations help offset the charity’s necessary overhead. Fixed operating expenses are unavoidable and without the additional donated funds, Gifts 4 Smiles gift giving goals are limited.
You can make an ill, lonely or sad child smile and give them a forever memorable friend today. Just select a child situation and the type of donation you want to make on the form after a click on the below box.
Gifts 4 Smiles will soon also have a new ‘Corporate Partner Donations’ program which can arrange a bulk order, wholesale price donation with the donor company’s logo identity, or special message tag on each cuddly gift friend along with distribution to needy hospitals.
