Re-gift Holiday Gifts GUILT-FREE

 Re-gift Holiday Gifts GUILT-FREE  How YOU Can Help
Jan 062013
 

Holidays, holidays and now, it’s after. We’ve all received some gift that doesn’t quite fit our expectations. Recycling the gift in our immediate circle of family and friends may backfire. Here’s an idea. Sell it on eBay AND support the mission of Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF)!

Sell unwanted holiday gifts on eBay and donate from 10% to 100% of the final sale price with eBay Giving Works to support our work for disadvantaged single parent families.
Your listing will benefit from several unique program features that have been proven to attract more buyers and raise awareness of our cause such as the eBay Giving Works ribbon and enhanced searchability.
Plus your listings will automatically qualify for the eBay Giving Works Fee Credit Benefit and you’ll receive a tax-receipt for your donation.

How to Use eBay Giving Works
1. Click “Customize your listing”
2. Look for the “eBay Giving Works” field (Click “Add or Remove Options” if you don’t see it) in the Sell Your Item form in the “Choose how you’d like to sell your item” area
3. Choose “Select a new nonprofit”
4. In the pop-up window that appears, type “Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation” in the “Nonprofit Name or Keyword” field
5. Select Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation and a percentage (10-100%) you wish to donate to us (please note: there is a $1 minimum donation if your item sells)

It’s as simple as that! If your item sells, our organization will receive the percentage you selected to donate. It’s giving back without giving your gift back. Like I said: Re-gift holiday gifts GUILT-FREE!

How YOU Can Help Poor Single Parent Families

 How YOU Can Help Poor Single Parent Families  How YOU Can Help

Every charitable organization – the people who witness the plight of others every day! – dreams of substantial donations: a house, a car or a fat check. Such amounts can secure housing, healthcare, transportation, dental services and so much more for disadvantaged single parent families (and when I say that I’m thinking of specific persons, of familiar faces of worried parents and scared children…).

The reality is that substantial donations rarely – if ever – arrive. The giving that changes lives often comes in… pennies. Think about it, if every Internet user – or eBay user, if you prefer – were to give Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF) just a few pennies, ALL the struggling single parents worried sick about maintaining a roof over their kids’ head and where their next meal will come from would be suddenly worry-free! They’ll able not to barely survive another day but move forward: go back to school, get a babysitter while they work… Their children would be safe and well-cared for; they’d have the same opportunities as all other kids…

True charity shouldn’t be a temporary band aid but a second chance to start clean, succeed and THRIVE!

Why the tirade? To make sure you know that we won’t reject a car or a house donation but we appreciate EVERY PENNY donated to Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF). Those pennies add up. You don’t have to sacrifice your possessions or your comfort to be a HERO to a single parent family suffering financial hardship. Visit Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation (EHHF) on eBay Giving Works and please, PITCH IN!

EHHF Christmas 2012 Gift Giveaway took place on December 23rd 2012 in the back of our donation center at Vanowen Street in North Hollywood.

All guests were warmly greeted and no one walked away empty-handed. Struggling single parents were given warm blankets, sweaters, kitchen and hygiene products while children received – what else? – toys. Good time was had by all!

Christmas Gifts Giveaway

In addition, Enlightened Helping Hand Foundation had reports about several single parent families dealing with financial hardship in Van Nuys area. We’ve made sure that EHHF representatives delivered Christmas gifts to them as well.

Times are tough for many. Those who work the hardest – single parents! – but are currently unemployed desperately need help. EHHF knows that we didn’t solve their problems, but we know for a fact that many single parent families and their children are having (or if you’ll read it after Holidays – have had) a little break from the stress of their financial worries and a little warmer Christmas complete with gifts….

Our Christmas 2012 Gift Giveaway is over, requests for help however continue pouring in. Disadvantaged single parents are requesting money to pay rent and food for their kids’ next meal. Christmas is warm and fuzzy and EHHF shared the Spirit of Christmas, but the plight of disadvantaged single parent families continues….
