Give Love, Spread Hope
Flowers, chocolates, and cards may be romantic, but they’ve also been done before. Your favorite person deserves something more unique. We created a Valentine’s Day Guidebook that can help you with an idea of what to get your wife, girlfriend, mom, sister, favorite tantig (auntie), or ungerouhi (friend) and support your favorite charity at the same time. By purchasing any of these gifts or simply just donating, you are directly helping our organization continue its humanitarian mission everywhere.
