Forever Christmas – an ongoing crowdfunder for Breath of Life #ForeverChristmas

“Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.” – Dr. Seuss

With the Christmas season of 2021 less than two months away, I want to make this Christmas last forever by asking 46 people to make a reoccurring monthly donation of R1000 (USD67) or by asking 92 people to make a reoccurring monthly donation of R500 (USD33) to Breath of Life. This will ensure that we have enough funding to cover the basic expenses incurred by Breath of Life in their activities caring for these precious babies. You can help make it Christmas every month by making sure Breath of Life has a dependable funding source to continue the vital work they do. R1000 (USD67 ) per month or R500 (USD33) per month – whichever option you choose, we ask that you give with love in your heart. For more information or to start making a monthly donation please visit https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/forever-christmas . Note: When you donate the first time, you will be asked, “Will this be a recurring payment?” Select the option “ongoing” (in order for it to be a monthly contribution).
