How you can reach out personally to an Iraqi refugee family in Jordan
When you donate $20 or more, we will hand-deliver your photos and your personal notes or cards to the Iraqi refugee
family you assist.  In exchange, we will send you photos of the family and their personal message to you by e-mail
(You can choose the option to have the response and photos of families you help sent to you by US Postal Service - please see Message &
Photo Guidelines for details
)
Note: smaller donations may be paired together, depending on the amount needed for each family's assistance.
Recipient families will be given the messages and photos of all of those who contributed to assist them.
