Operation Give: Uganda

Hi friends! As many of you may know, I've been helping to raise money for children's clothing, food, school supplies and education since 2012 through one of my best friend Diane's organization- Operation Give.  She has a HUGE heart and has worked hard over the past 7 years to do various fundraisers to help fund children in Guatemala and Uganda.  The foundation we are supporting - The Saint Ann Foundation was founded by Able, a  26 year who grew up as an orphan, and never wanted any other child to experience what he did. He is not only the founder of Saint Ann but he is a father figure to all 83 children in the foundation and has a heart of gold. Please help me in raising money for these amazing children and help support them having the education and basic necessities they deserve. Even if you are unable to donate, sharing my fundraising page is just as important!

MISSION: Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 to support 83 children in Uganda with school supplies & food for an ENTIRE YEAR! WHY: I've been helping raise money for children's education and food since 2012. Collectively over $90k. Started with children in Guatemala volunteer and Uganda last few years.  The foundation we are supporting was founded by a  26 year old orphan who never wanted any other child to experience what he did. He is not only the founder like a father figure to them all (83). These children are there 

IMPACT: All funds raised will provide school supplies such as backpacks, shoes, clothing, and additional materials for educational support. Nutritious meals and snacks will be provided at school every day, which may be the only food they will have that day. Alongside the Saint Ann Foundation staff and volunteers, our founder Diane will personally hand deliver the first batch of school supplies this winter. You’ll be able to see the direct impact of your personal donation through photos and videos taken on-site while she distributes the donations. Saint Ann Foundation in Uganda will purchase and replenish the school supplies and food throughout the year.

DONATIONS: We're reaching out to you for help. Together we can do this! Just $40 provides one child with food and educational support for a whole month! All donations are welcome, big or small; every penny counts and is appreciated beyond words.

SHARING: Most importantly, spread the word by sharing with your network, friends, and family. Can’t donate monetarily? No problem! Your voice still matters! Please share our video to help spread awareness and to generate donations and support. Your share could inspire a domino effect of donations! Statistically speaking, every share generates an average of over $102 in additional donations and engagement!

TAX-DEDUCTIBLE: Yes! You will receive a tax receipt e-mail for your donation to a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

WE’VE DONE THIS BEFORE: Over the past 7 years together, *we* have raised a total of $90,000 for children in need in Guatemala and Uganda! With high hopes and a can-do attitude, we are confident we will make this yet another successful year to make some more beautiful children feel super duper loved and cared for!
