A Meaningful Charity Gift for Mum
Mother’s Day Gifts that Help the Needy
Want to make this Mother’s Day truly special and meaningful for Mum? How about giving her something unique, something that helps and provides comfort for the needy? Here are some ideas to give something in Mum’s name.
Warm Fuzzy Gifts from the Australian Red Cross
Buy a Warm Fuzzy gift from the Australian Red Cross on Mum’s behalf to help the Red Cross provide services for needy and disadvantaged people in Australia and around the world. Gifts are available from as low as $10. Services include trips to the doctor, feeding a hungry child, providing bedding for victims of natural disaster, sheltering families and supporting relief workers. Once a gift is bought for the intended recipient, create a personalized Warm Fuzzy eCard and send it to Mum to share those warm feelings with her!
Get Mum a gift from Oxfam Unwrapped to help provide basic services such as clean water supply and sanitation or bring emergency aid during disaster to help people rebuild their lives. There are six categories of gifts to choose from – Gifts that Keep Giving, Healthy Heroic Gifts, Life Savers, Money Makers, Excellent Education or FUN-raising.No matter what gift is chosen in Mum’s name, it will definitely help save the world in its own way.
Oxfam Canada has also launched a charitable $58 gift card available Canada-wide at Shoppers Drug Marts, excluding Ontario and Quebec. So it's a good idea to buy Mum this gift card so that she can use it to buy goats, mosquito nets or literacy kits for communities in developing countries as well.
Women For Women Donations
Make a donation to Women for Women International in honor of Mum. In essence, this organization helps women survivors of war, civil unrests and other conflicts with useful and practical resources to support their families, embrace their rights and eventually actively participate in the rebuilding of their once shattered communities. In addition to making a one-time donation, it’s also a great idea to sponsor a woman survivor of war in Mum’s name.
ShopSickKids
A gravely ill child will make any mother weep. So give sick children a chance of recovery and better lives by buying a gift from ShopSickKids.com to Mum. Retail partners of ShopSickKids will donate a percentage of sales proceeds to SickKids Foundation, giving young patients of the Toronto-based Hospital of Sick Children access to vital medical equipment and technology as well as the best care from the hospital staff.
Unite For Sight Donations
Donate to Unite for Sight Mum’s honor. Donations to this organization will support eye clinics worldwide to provide quality eye care and help restore eyesight to disadvantaged communities living in extreme poverty.
Amazon Conservation Team
If Mum is a true believer in saving indigenous peoples, why not make a donation on her behalf to the Amazon Conservation Team? After all the organization has led the way saving the Amazon and its indigenous peoples through a holistic approach that has simultaneously protected indigenous cultures and improved healthcare in the Amazon.
Giving a charity gift in Mum’s honor and name will provide life-changing opportunities to those in need. There are countless organizations to donate to.
