Jess here, with an update from Mayan Families. One of the projects we’ve been working on here is a way to make charitable giving at the holidays a little easier. To do this, we’ve created a set of holiday cards that can be used to let someone know a donation has been made to Mayan Families in his or her name. There are six cards total: two are for general donations, and four are for specific donation types. You can download the card as either a PDF or JPEG file. Just download the card you want, print a copy, write your name and the donation details, and give it to the person in whose name the donation was made. Scroll down to see all of the cards we have available.
General Holiday Card:
This card can be used for any donation type or amount. To make a donation or to see the donation types available, go to the Mayan Families Donate Now page.
<– Click on the photo to the left to open the full-size image in a new window. Then right-click the photo and select “Save File As” to save it to your documents. You can also download the card as a PDF file by clicking here.

<– Click on the photo to the left to open the full-size image in a new window. Then right-click the photo and select “Save File As” to save it to your documents. You can also download the card as a PDF file by clicking here.

The following four cards are for specific donation types:
Bed Donation Holiday Card:
This card is specifically designed for a bed donation. A complete bed and mattress donation costs $170. To donate a bed, go to the Mayan Families Donate Now page, enter the donation amount in the Other box, and in the Extra Details box specify “Bed donation — where most needed.” Or, choose a specific family in need of a bed from the Family Aid Blog.

You can also send a basket for a family specifically — read about families in need on the Family Aid Blog.

Please leave a comment and let us know if you have any trouble downloading the files. Happy Holidays!










Great idea, girls! I’m already thinking who’d like a donation to be made vs. receiving a holiday gift! This makes it really easy.

I already sent in a donation for our sponsored family to receive a tamale food basket, do I need any information from you to download a card? I”m not positive I can download a card since we have dial up but I would like to try.

Hi Leah, thank you so much for your donation! You should not need any information to download the card — just click on the photo of the card or the link for the PDF file, and that will bring the full-size card up in a new window. Then just right-click the photo, scroll down to “Save as” or “Save file as”, and save the file to your desktop or documents. Then all you have to do is print it out and fill in your name and donation details.
