Hetti's Smile Boxes

Hi! My name is Hetti and I created this page back in 2019 when I was a freshman in high school living in the US. Now, I am in my first year of university in the UK.

I absolutely love giving back to my community and seeing others happy. I started this page to help me send out personalised care packages to children and their siblings with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. As of the summer of 2023, I am living in the United Kingdom. Therefore, I am no longer sending to children in the United States, but am now focusing on sending packages to kids in the UK.

Over the past few years, I have sent out over 160 packages to children all over the US and UK. I speak with the parents to find out more information about their child and then fill the smile boxes with toys, books, and games that I think would make their kid smile. For every box, I draw a card with their favorite character on it and make them a bracelet with their name.

On average, £28 (or $36) enables me to create and ship one of my smile boxes to a kiddo in the UK. However, I am beyond thankful for any amount of donations and every penny helps a ton! 100% of the donations that I receive go right towards the making/ shipping of the boxes :)

If anyone would like to nominate a friend or family member to receive a package, please don't hesitate to reach out to one of my social media platforms - I truly would love to send them one! I am so grateful for all the support!

Thank you all so so much!!

(On my GoFundMe page, it says on behalf of Rachel Britner. Rachel is my mum and the one who withdraws the donations. 100% of all donations go towards the smile boxes!)
