Adriana - Air Purifier
Due to Alex's unique needs, I have not been able to work since he first became ill December 2021. We have also had many extra travel expenses due to his numerous doctor visits and hospitalizations 2 hours away from home.
Alex is immunocompromised due to the medication he requires post Heart Transplant so having air purifiers in the home is very helpful in helping him stay as healthy as possible. The current one we have is old and doesn't seem to be working well.
Alex and his big brother Christian could really use new car seats as the ones they have are getting pretty worn out. A slimmer model allows an adult to sit in the back with them and tend to Alex if need be.

Adriana - Toys
Alex had a heart transplant in August 2022. He has to take life long medications that lower his immune system drastically. Because of this, Alex tends to get really sick from things like the common cold. Just this year, Alex has had 5 hospitalizations that require him staying inpatient for several days. Keeping an active toddler entertained in a hospital can be difficult and tricky, and we are always looking for ways to keep him engaged while learning and working on his fine motor skills. We will be back to the hospital inevitably, and having activities to take with us would be wonderful.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a digital marketplace for kindness?
We are creating a marketplace where people can come together and exchange acts of kindness. These kindnesses can be simple actions where you give your time or give financially to those in and around your community.
Are you a nonprofit charity?
We are not set up as a 501(c)(3) or nonprofit charitable organization. Instead, we are a public benefit corporation that has the specific purpose of facilitating the exchange of kind actions. We plan to work with local agencies and nonprofits as community partners who are aligned with our mission.
Do you charge any fees?
Receivers are not charged to place their requests on the platform. We believe transparency is important to our Givers. The following are the charges that we lay out prior to the checkout process:
1) Shipping Fee - Shipping fee is the pass through cost that we incur from the retailer in order to ship this item to the Receiver
2) Taxes - These are state and local taxes collected by the retailer on purchased goods.
3) Pago Fee - This is the fee Pago collects for organizing the entire process from kindness request to fulfillment. This fee includes the 3-5% fee that we are charged by the payment processor in order to complete the transaction. The balance is Pago’s fee to support the operational costs of the platform.
How can I get started today?
