Give a Gift that Makes a Difference: Preorder
Grace Holiday Gifts Now
For most people, the "holiday season" is just around
the corner. According to The Economist magazine, in 2006 the
average U.S. household spent about $1,700 during the course of
the holiday season on consumer items as gifts. Most of these
gifts end up either forgotten or in the trash within a few months – a
real tragedy when you consider that most of the world's population
is struggling to survive on less than $2 per day. The funds we
spend on luxury items could be used to help people around the
world whose basic needs for food, clothing and shelter are not
being met.
You can do something about it. This year, instead of purchasing
yet another gift item that will be discarded within a few months,
why not donate those same funds to VeAhavta and receive, in addition
to a tax deduction, a much more meaningful gift in return?
For a donation of just $30 or $40, you or your loved one can
support a child or elder at the Grace Care Center for an entire
month. And for each donation you make, you or the person in whose
name you give will receive a special thank you card, handmade
by a child or elder at the Grace Care Center. The card will include
a 4"x6" photograph and personal message from the child
or elder who made it, as well as a letter from VeAhavta to the
recipient of the card explaining who purchased it and what the
funds will accomplish. You tell us where to send the card and
we’ll mail it out starting as early as December 1, 2007.
Just imagine – for your $30 or $40 donation, you will
be providing for all of the basic needs of a child or elder at
the Grace Care Center for an entire month! This includes housing,
food, clean drinking water, medical care and an education.
You may pre-order your Grace
Holiday Gifts on-line by clicking here. Alternatively, you can pre-order you gifts by mail by downloading
an order form here in either PDF or Word format. One thank you
card will be mailed for each $30 or $40 donation that you make,
but a limited number of thank you cards are being made, so we
strongly urge you to place your order right away.
Thank you for making the holiday season this year more meaningful
for some very special people!
