How does it work?
Sponsoring a child for his/her birthday involves buying the child’s birthday gifts using the list, provided by Candle Wishes, of the child’s name, age, birthday, birthday wishes, specific needs, and clothing sizes.
You then place the gifts in a birthday bag and staple the child’s name and age to the outside of the bag. Candle Wishes will communicate with you about a drop off point for the gifts.
Candle Wishes gives the child the gifts at the monthly birthday party celebration. We always give donors the opportunity to attend the birthday party and experience Candle Wishes more intimately if they choose.
Yes, I want to sponsor a child. What’s next?
Remember, we operate a month in advance. So, if you want a child whose birthday is in November, expect a phone call or e-mail with the child’s information in October.
You can also sign up to sponsor children on an ongoing basis- maybe quarterly, every two months, or even monthly.
