300-10 Pledge Drive
We are looking for 300 people to commit to donating just $10 per month.
We’ve been hard at work on construction on our orphanage buildings. We want to open the doors this year and take in the children who desperately need our help. But before we do that, we need to secure pledges to meet our estimated, monthly operational budget of $3,000. And you can help!

Frequently Asked Questions
What payment methods do you accept?
For our recurring, monthly donations, we accept credit or debit cards, ACH/bank payments, PayPal, or Apple Pay.
Can I mail a check instead of using the online form?
Yes! Make the check out to Laura’s House, add the memo “monthly support” and mail it to 53 County Rd, Scarborough, ME 04074.
Why does the payment form have an option to “Tip”?
Give Lively is the service we use for our payment forms. They offer the service for free, but accept tips to help them cover operating expenses. This is entirely optional and you can edit the slider to only cover the processing fees if you wish.
Why are there fees?
The fees are related to processing the credit or debit cards. We have the lowest rates possible, since we have been granted special non-profit rates with PayPal and with Stripe. Please consider selecting the option to cover the payment processing fees, since that helps us reach our goal faster.
Does giving only $10 really help?
We certainly would appreciate it if you were able to commit to more than $10 per month, but we feel like $10 is an amount that many people would be able to fit into their budget. Your $10 donation will add up to meet the needs for our budget!
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. We understand that finances can change in life. You can cancel your monthly payment in the Give Lively account portal. Read more here about how to cancel.
