A Good Wish from Mary Poppins
"I can't imagine a more loving and welcoming family than the one you will be joining. Not all of us are born under a lucky star - but sometimes, we find our way to one. "

From: marypoppins@hotmail.com

Donation Amount: $25

Confirm Donor
Confirm that the payment was submitted through your PayPal account first and click this link to Confirm Good Wish or login to your Good Wishes Admin to confirm.


Your donor also will receive the following email when they submit their good wish:

"Thank you for submitting a Good Wish to The XXX Family through One Hundred Good Wishes. If for some reason you were unable to complete your donation with Paypal, click The XXX Family PayPal Link to try again. If you would rather send your donation directly to The XXX Family, email XXXXXXXXXmail.com.

The purpose of this site is to allow you to become part of your friend's adoption journey by giving a good wish, helping to offset the costs involved in their adoption expenses. As you may know, adoption is a costly endeavor. Most domestic and international adoption expenses average $7,000 - $40,000. Cost of travel, staying in-country for a given length of time, orphanage donations, US and foreign government fees as well as placing agency service fees contribute to the overall expense.

We believe more families would consider adoption if there were access to more assistance available. Our hope is that this site will offer you the opportunity to generously give a financial gift. Though your donation is not tax-deductible, your gift will go directly to the family you have chosen to support by using Paypal.

Sincerely,
One Hundred Good Wishes! "


3). Confirm the donor by following the link in the email from One Hundred Good Wishes. See sample below.

"Confirm Donor

4). Go to Good Wish Admin page, by clicking on the links in the email from One Hundred Good Wishes (mentioned above). Click on "Confirm a Good Wish" if you did receive notification from PayPal that your donation was received. Clicking this link will publish the donors' picture and good wish on your home page. It will also automatically send the following email to your donor.

"Dear Giver,

You are receiving this email to notify you that your gift to The XXX Family has been confirmed and your good wish has now been published! To view your good wish, click here.

Your good wish is now part of this family's adoption story and will serve as a priceless keepsake for their child. Again, we at One Hundred Good Wishes thank you for your generosity. You are truly helping bring families together!

One Hundred Good Wishes!


5). If you received an email from One Hundred Good Wishes that a good wish was received, but you never received an email from PayPal to confirm the transaction was completed, first check your spam mail to make sure the PayPal email is not in this folder. Then login to your PayPal account and see if the transaction occured. If you did not receive the transaction, then this means that the transaction was not completed by the donor.

So what you'll need to do is login to your One Hundred Good Wishes page, click on Donor tab, then click on "Email PayPal Error Message". This automatically sends an email to your donor letting them know that their PayPal transaction failed and it will give them a link that they can click to complete their transaction.

You can also make a note that the Email PayPal Error Message was sent to your donor on X date so that you can follow up at a later date. The donor may choose to just send you a check. In that case, you can click on "Confirm a Good Wish" to publish their good wish once you receive their donation via mail.
