Overview

Gifts From America is embarking on a national project to help handicapped, terminally ill and impoverished children. We intend to seek out 100 of these children and have them make a list of any 5 toys and items they want. We will post these lists on our website and let the American public choose items from the list they wish to give to the children. They will buy the gifts themselves, wrap them up and attach a card. Each gift-giver will have the satisfaction of knowing exactly where his or her money went. They will have the pleasure of knowing they gave joy to a specific child. Each child will be showered with gifts and kindness. They will the feel the warmth and care of actual people rather than a fictional organization. Gifts From America will use its own funding to buy any gifts that are not bought by Americans. Our organization will create a movement to put charity work more directly in the hands of Americans and allow it to be self-sustaining for years to come!
