$1.8 Billion

$170.71

Any idea what these three sets of numbers stand for? Well, they all have to do with Mother’s Day, which is coming up this Sunday! Each year, approximately $2.2 billion is spent on flowers for Mom, while another $1.8 billion is spent on cards! That’s a total of 4 BILLION DOLLARS for flowers and cards! So you may be wondering, what’s $170.71 mean? According to Forbes the average mother’s day gift is approximately $170.71!

This year, consider giving a gift to Mom unlike any other! Unlike flowers or cards, which unfortunately get thrown away after a week or two, give the gift of changing lives.

As the holiday season approaches, many of us are busy making lists of last minute ingredients we need to get for Thanksgiving dinner and preparing for the holidays. But imagine if instead of making a list of ingredients for your famous Thanksgiving pie, you were trying to find a way to buy the medicine for your sick child. For hundreds of Indianapolis residents, this is an everyday occurrence.

We are so grateful for all of our donors who donate to us each year, and hope you will consider joining them. Whether your gift is large or small, every penny makes a difference in the lives of our patients.
