Give $50 a month for a girl in Cebu
$50 a month covers one girl: her study allowance, food for her family, school costs, health care when she needs it, and the staff in Cebu who teach and mentor her. Gifts are pooled, so each girl gets what she needs. Monthly gifts matter most: LYF takes a girl in only when it knows it can keep supporting her, so steady giving is what lets it say yes to more girls.
- Choose Monthly.
- Enter $50.
- Zeffy, the platform LYF uses, then suggests an optional tip for Zeffy itself. The tip goes to Zeffy, not to LYF, and you can set it to $0.

Loving Yourself Forward Inc. is a US 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 99-2398558. Gifts are tax-deductible as US law allows, and the form sends you a tax receipt.
Rather give once?
Use the same form and choose One-time, any amount. A one-time gift goes into the same pooled fund for the girls.
Before you give
See where last year's money went, the IRS letter and the Philippine registration on Open books, and the girls' stories on Stories.
Other ways to give
A donor-advised fund

Questions
Is my gift for one named girl?
No. Gifts are pooled. $50 a month pays for one girl's share of what LYF gives. You can follow the girls through their stories and lessons.
Can I change or stop a monthly gift?
Yes, any time. Write to lyfiscoming@gmail.com and LYF will change or stop it.
Who are the staff?
The people in Cebu who teach, listen to and mentor the girls: they run the study sessions, check in on each girl and follow up when something goes wrong. Where the money goes
