PLEASE MEET ANDREIA AND MATT!
Andreia and Matt are a couple who decided that instead of giving their wedding guests thank you gifts, they would make a donation to a charity on their guests’ behalf. We are so fortunate that these two decided to select The Mercy Project as their charity. They gave each guest a card explaining what our projects do and how they can learn more about our organization.
We had an opportunity to ask them why they decided to donate and more specifically, to us, and here’s what they said:
The way we looked at it we could give a lot of little gifts or one big gift. And we felt that giving one big gift to a charity was something that was important to us and that would be appreciated by our guests. We wanted to share with our family and friends the opportunity to take part in a grand gesture. Unlike other big charities, The Mercy Project was more personal and meaningful to us. We knew who we were giving the money to and where it would go. It was easy to trust those already giving so generously to the project and we are thankful that we were able to contribute.
Thanks again Andreia and Matt! We wish you all health, happiness, and a very happy one-year anniversary!
Love,
The Mercy Project
