The Mother’s Day Gift That Keeps on Giving

While it’s nice to see your spousal unit wiggle and squirm in an attempt to figure out what the heck to get you for mother’s day, I imagine you probably don’t need yet another “I Love Mom” necklace or beaded stretch bracelet. So, why not consider having a donation made in your honor to the CARE program, which provides education for girls and support for poor women in countries around the world?
For every $25 that you donate, you will receive a beautiful artist-designed card describing your wonderful gift. Make sure to order by April 20, so your card can be sent to you in time for you to send it out to a special mom (or keep it for yourself as a wonderful memento).
For the money your spouse might spend on a bouquet of flowers, you can buy school supplies for 6 Indian girls. For twice that, you can send an Afghan girl to school for a year. I’ll take that over a bunch of carnations and a mommy shirt anyday. –Kristen
