Donate a little, change a lot!
At the Forgotten Wishes Foundation, we work to combat loneliness and foster a sense of belonging for individuals with disabilities. Our Forget-Me-Not Friends Club now supports over 700 members by providing them with ongoing encouragement and friendship through the mail, but we need your help to continue!
Our program has outgrown our incoming financial support, so we need your support for the Giving Power Palooza Campaign.
How Your Support Helps
We send "happy mail" each year to remind our Forget-Me-Not Friends Club members that they are cherished and not alone. These efforts cost an average of $60 per member annually. Your generous donation will directly support the creation and distribution of these mailings. They will sustain the joy of receiving something in the mail that is just for the club member that isn't a bill, medical notice, or other business item. We design our cards and letters to remind them they are seen and valued.
Our Forget-Me-Not Friends Club members rely on us for that sense of belonging and a bright moment when a card arrives in the mail. Won't you help?
Imagine the Difference You Can Make:
- $5 Sends two greeting cards.
- $15 Buys a book of stamps.
- $30 Sends three new member welcome packages.
- $60 ensures one member receives their annual birthday card, holiday greetings, and "happy mail" all year!
- $120 supports two members for a year.
- $300 provides ongoing support to five members, helping to spread happiness and combat loneliness.
