Pass the Popcorn Please

12/14/2015

 
2015 was a GREAT year for Ghana Make A Difference. ​Here are some highlights:
  • sheltered and cared for 47 children,
  • unified 21 children with permanent families,
  • constructed a new house for children with intellectual disabilities,
  • provided audiology care and hearing aids for Esther, a 9-year-old girl in Ghana,
  • started a poultry farm with 200 egg-laying chickens and achieved greater self-reliance by eating and selling the eggs,
  • purchased 1,000 more chickens for delivery to the home in early 2016,
  • formed an alliance with Ghana’s Ministry of Gender Children and Social Protection to shelter children rescued from child labor,
  • formed an alliance with Acacia Shade to shelter and care for children with disabilities, and
  • formed an alliance with Look At Us to provide children with hearing aids and surgical procedures.

Our successes mean that we are helping more families and caring for more children, but we desperately need more monthly donors to keep up. Unleash your healing power and become an MD today.

QUESTION: What is the relationship between the following two groups of items?

(1) two hours of parking, a movie ticket, a popcorn, a soda
(2) clothing, school supplies, food, shelter

ANSWER:  The items in group #1 can supply a child in Ghana with the items in group #2.

We don't need a lot, but we DO need a little. The average cost of popcorn at the movies is $8.15. Pass the popcorn please, and become a monthly donor now.

When you sign up, you can pledge any monthly amount, but here are some ideas that cost between $5 and $200 a month.
  • CLOTHE: school uniforms for a child for a year = ​$5/month
  • SHELTER: help pay a utility bill and keep the lights on = $10/month
  • FEED: food for one child for one month = $45/month
  • ​CARE: a nanny's monthly salary = ​$100/month
  • ​EDUCATE: books, computers, internet = ​$150/month
  • EMPOWER: support our farm - help us help ourselves = $200/month

With a sufficient and predictable monthly cash flow, we will successfully house and nurture children by avoiding the paralysis caused by cash shortages.

As a reminder,
  • GMAD has no paid staff, and
  • 100% of our administrative costs are paid by a specific donor, so
  • 100% of your donations feed, shelter, nurture and educate vulnerable children.
  • Really, 100%. For example, when you make a donation using PayPal, another donor makes another donation to cover the PayPal fee associated with your donation so 100% of your money goes to Ghana.

2015 has been a great year for Ghana Make A Difference, but with your help, 2016 is going to be even better.

Pass the popcorn, and have a HAPPY HOLIDAY season!

MISSION

​We shelter children who have been rescued from forced labor trafficking, abandonment, or who have special needs until we are able to reintegrate them with their biological family or to place them in a new family.

We preserve families and provide a path to self reliance through shelter, life skills, education and medical care.
