The St. Frances Fund and Amazon Smile

Oh, the power of Amazon. Where else can you find unicorn headphones, perfect throw pillows, and discount Legos? And now that shipping can be as quick as same day, the possibilities are endless.

Well, what if I told you that while you are ordering gadgets for work-from-home or putting together an Amazon Fresh order, you could also help a hopeful adoptive family in Florida?

AmazonSmile allows you to shop on Amazon as per usual – the prices, selection, and shipping are the same – but with the added benefit of AmazonSmile donating 0.5% of your eligible purchase to the charitable organization of your choice – including Heart of Adoptions Alliance, Inc.

Any money donated to us will go towards the St. Frances fund, which helps change the lives of sick children by helping place them into loving homes through adoption. You see, Heart of Adoptions Alliance, Inc is fortunate to have many loving, waiting families that are open to welcoming children into their homes that have medical challenges. But in these scenarios, the cost of adoption can be overwhelming.

The St. Frances Fund can assist with covering adoption-related costs, as well as medical expenses for special needs adoptions. Some of the little ones we have helped have had muscular issues, skeletal defects, cardiac trouble, and brain damage.  These unique children have found treatment, support, hope, and permanent and loving families with the help of The St Frances Fund.

In order to shop through AmazonSmile and support the St. Frances Fund, you can simply go to smile.amazon.com on your web browser or activate AmazonSmile on your Amazon shopping app (under settings). On your first visit to the site, you will be prompted to select a charitable organization (such as Heart of Adoptions Alliance, Inc.). AmazonSmile will remember this selection and every subsequent eligible purchase you make will result in a donation to this organization.

Heart of Adoptions Alliance, Inc. is fortunate to have many loving families hoping to adopt that are open to The St. Frances Fund.  Such a great opportunity!

P.S. – If Amazon isn’t your thing, but you’d still like to donate towards the St. Frances Fund, you can do so here.
