Because it is my favorite charity, when I do Donations for Crochet events, most likely, they will be to benefit the Red Cross. Even if you don’t participate in one of my events, I encourage you to donate to the Red Cross.
For readers in the US: To get to their website, click on the Red Cross Logo above. Once on their page, on the top right, there is a red box with white letters that says: DONATE FUNDS. Click on that box, then choose the division you would like the money to focus on, click the CONTINUE button, and follow the directions from there.
Special Instructions for Kiwi Donations:
If you are “buying” one of my Kiwis for Kiwis, when you get to the division selection (after you click on the DONATE FUNDS button), Please choose: DISASTER RELIEF FOR COUNTLESS CRISES. I know the situation in Japan is catastrophic, but these kiwis were made specifically for the crisis in New Zealand. I am planning a separate Donation for Crochet event for the Japan fund.
After you complete your donation, the Red Cross will send you an email. In order to receive your Kiwi, you must forward me a copy of that email. (Feel free to delete any personal information you don’t want me to see, but I do need to see the donation amount, so that I know you followed the instructions.)
If you “buy” a kiwi and I don’t see you on a regular basis, I will be mailing your kiwi via USPS. Please include your mailing address in the email you forward from the Red Cross.
