Adoption- Sponsor Option Format
OPTION ONE: You send monies direct to the Utility Companies or Food Markets in "The Name of the Family or Elder" you are sponsoring. You will be given contact information for those who will assist you in the transaction. Also, you will have the name of the Elder and Family that you are sponsoring so that you can maintain personal contact with them.
OPTION TWO: You send us the monies needed for a particular need. We will "document" our sending of your monies to the grocery store etc. This option is for you to be able to get a "tax write off". But you will be able to verify where you money goes by "confirming" that with the family that you sponsor and have adopted as well as to whom your money was sent to for whatever need.
We are asking that you commit for at least 6 months or more and with a minimum $100 (or more up to $$$$$$!) "adoption donation" per month. And yes, we do make "exceptions" to that rule.
The average family income on a "Reservation" is anywhere from $200 to $650 a month and THOUSANDS of Elders and Families live 80% below the Poverty Level with the 3 poorest counties in the USA being Reservations.
Contact us when you are ready to commit and we will assign you a family or Elder!
