Care packages

I run a program that sends care packages to people with chronic/terminal illnesses. This organization is run solely on donations, and sometimes even out of my own pocket. Each package costs $8 to ship, on top of the cost of the materials inside. Due to the lack of donations, I have no choice but to ask each recipient to pay the $8 for shipping, but I would really like to be able to provide these care packages free of cost. 

This is important to me because I myself have multiple chronic illnesses, including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome, and more. I know first hand how difficult it is to live with these medical conditions, and I want to provide some comfort to others in similar situations. My goal is to bring smiles to as many people as I can! 

If you can donate even just $1, it would be so helpful. I am in desperate need of donations, so that I can buy the supplies for the packages. I am hoping that I can also raise enough money to pay for the shipping, so that recipients don't have to pay anything to get a care package.

Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it :)
