#GiveWithLily

Give With Lily


Give With Lily Cause

#GiveWithLily is the ask that gives you a reason to act on your wish to help children in danger.

 

We are collecting toys and raising money to buy toys for foster children.

Foster kids have a life with no mom and dad to help care for them. They are more likely to grow up to be homeless, poor and less educated.

If we don’t help each other, then who will?

This website allows me to share our toy drive ideas with more people. It also lets you donate money from wherever you are. Most importantly, It gives me a chance to thank people for donating.
