A group of kids from Cura Orphanage in Kenya who lost their parents to AIDS are on a mission: to show as many kids in the world as possible that they are special and loved. The funds from this book will support the orphanage and further fund The Every Kid Is Special Project. Share this book with a special kid (of any age!) in your life.
Holiday Tribute Card, $15
Send a personalized holiday card—like the Keith Haring design shown—and help those living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other life-altering illnesses. For a minimum of $15 per name, God’s Love We Deliver will address, stamp and mail holiday cards to anyone on your list with a message acknowledging your donation in their honor.
