Blanket Them With Love (A GoFundMe for Nigerian kids)

Post by deer of the dawn »

I hope this is not inappropriate to post this here. I started a GoFundMe to raise money to buy 100 blankets for kids in an orphanage we visited yesterday. Many things were inadequate, but one need that jumped out at me was the poverty of their sleeping situations. Each of the normal size bedrooms holds 10-15 children on thin mattresses with thin blankets. December and January can be cold, getting down to the low 50s/ high 40s Fahrenheit. Since the houses are not heated or insulated, that means it's the same indoors.

Here is the link: https://www.gofundme.com/blanket-them-with-love

Thanks. (If this needs to be moved or deleted, I understand.)

No PayPal option?

Can that be changed? I was going to donate but not a fan of providing card details etc.

Will share on Facebook and pm you

Unfortunately I could only set it up for PayPal or Stripe if I was a charity on their official charity list. :? Sky and I figured it out.
