Now for a little announcement....
Have you heard of Keiki Cards? Well, Keiki Cards is a Honolulu based company that sends handmade cards out to sick children throughout the entire USA. Unfortunately, the owner of Keiki Cards recently announced their soon to be shutting down of their operation due to lack of funding. They'd like to continue as long as they can since they have an abundance of cards. What they need most are postage stamps and monetary donations (to send out the cards that they do have).Therefore - if you would like to help with postage stamps or monetary donations, please click here to make an online donation, or if you'd rather mail in a donation, please send to:
Keiki Cards
PMB 5-532
4224 Waialae Ave.
Honolulu, HI 96816
Let's extend the length of this organization as LOOOONG as possible, so that we can continue to bring smiles to children's faces and warmth within their hearts! (With just a $5 donation, Amber and her crew will be able to send out 11 standard sized cards!!!) - that is a whole lot of families that you and I will be able to send a little bit of Aloha to. Think about it - we spend hundreds of dollars to create and send to those that we want to touch the lives of....this is a totally perfect way to just do that.
Big Mahalos for reading today's very special posting.

ReplyDelete@Deborah:
ReplyDeleteHey Deb, as noted in my posting Keiki Cards is closing their doors. They are no longer asking for card donations - but rather Monetary or Postage donations. Just thought I'd point that out before you go through all that work...
aloha,
Jen
Hey Jen, thanks for letting me know they are closing...I have been sending cards,and postage to them since they first started this. It's so sad to see them go.

Great ideas for posting the sad info about Keiki Cards soon closing. I heard about it on the day that they sent the notice out. Hopefully together we can keep them open a little longer so that they can make many more kids happy. You can definitely count on me for a donation.
ReplyDeleteHmm...I have a lot of "old" postage stamps that I'm too lazy to go to the post office to buy the 1 cent and 2 cent stamps for...think they could use those at all?
