Donate with GakaB

No donation is too small, or too big, or too ineffective!
We welcome all contributions from our community to help Give a Kid a Blanket achieve our mission of relieving poverty. Every dollar and every item counts.
We are reliant on donations to run our day-to-day operations and donations are the lifeblood of our project, our charity and our fuel.
Give a Kid a Blanket is a completely non-profit organisation and is run by volunteers so all donated funds go directly into the work of the charity.
