THE GREAT KAS TWO DOLLAR CHALLENGE

This month, in KAS Finances, we have been talking about the importance of ongoing monthly subscriptions (see below).  We were hoping that anyone who does not currently subscribe might consider doing so if they are able.

One of our KAS Sisters, Arlene Guerin from Canada, has come up with an awesome idea for those of us who have already subscribed.  Imagine the difference it would make to Ronda and our South African team, if those of us who have existing subscriptions could increase them by just $2.00 a month… a ‘drop in the ocean’ for most of us, a huge difference in financial stability for KAS.

WILL YOU JOIN IN THE GREAT KAS TWO DOLLAR CHALLENGE IF YOU ARE ABLE?

  HERE’S HOW TO DO IT:

To change the amount of an ongoing payment through Paypal or your credit card, it is necessary to cancel the current subscription and start a new one.

  1. Go to your Paypal Log In page and log in (if you’ve forgotten how, just Google Paypal Log In and click – you will get your own page)
  2. Click on the Settings icon (beside Log Out) at the top of the page.
  3. Click on Payments in the blue Menu bar
  4. Click on Manage Automatic Payments
  5. From the list on the left, click on Knit-a-Square
  6. The next page will show your status as ‘Active’. Click on Cancel to change.

TO START A NEW SUBSCRIPTION, GO TO THE FORUM Main Page.

  1. Click on the Donate button in the right sidebar
  2. Knit-a-square page will open
  3. You can choose to donate through Paypal or your credit card
  4. Enter the amount you wish to send
  5. DON’T FORGET TO CHECK ‘MAKE THIS A MONTHLY DONATION’

 

THE  IMPORTANCE  OF  AN  ONGOING SUBSCRIPTION

Every month, Ronda faces several non-optional expenses like rent, customs charges, and fuel for the KASvan and she needs to know these are covered so she can balance the budget.

Even a small subscription like $5 per month makes a huge difference in her planning and gives financial stability to our operations in South Africa.

If you are able, please consider subscribing to an ongoing monthly donation.  While it may seem like a drop in the ocean, it makes a huge difference in our ability to keep wrapping our blankets around vulnerable children.

  • Amazing idea and will help in South Africa in so many ways.

  • I wrote to Ronda the other day to let her know that she might see some cancellations come through, followed by new subscriptions showing an increase of $2.

    Here is her reply:

    Many thanks Anne ... yes, we have been noticing the changes and are continually blessed by the enormous generosity of our members and contributors on every level.
    Thanks to Arlene for this new idea ... we appreciate every cent and it will be put to good use.
    Profound gratitude from all at KAS SA

  • Mary has posted in KAS Finances that she has joined the $2 challenge.  Thank you so much, Mary.

  • I've increased mine, and can also join in with having snowdrops and crocuses in the garden.

    • Thank you, Patricia!  I am a bit jealous - it will be weeks and weeks before we see a crocus in my part of the world.

        • Oh thank you, Chris.  Wiarton Willie (our Ontario ground hog) has predicted an early spring here.  His record of 'right guesses' is a bit sketchy. Sure hope he is right this year.  Right now we have several inches of snow in our yard so poor Meeka gets a bit of a shock when she squats to do her business.

  • Great idea, I’m in!1046500166?profile=RESIZE_710x

    • Thank you, Chris!  That makes five of us

  • Hi Anne,

    I just increased my monthly donation.  Hope this is a huge success .
