Elbi Smiles

Nov 27, 2015

Earlier this year we teamed up with Elbi, an organisation that gives you a chance daily to help 3 organisations in just 3 minutes, all from your smartphone. Elbi regularly run campaigns for Pals and asks people to draw certain things, and share funny pictures or movie quotes. Recently people drew Simpsons characters for Faith and Mae, suggested songs for Eleanor to listen to, and drew My Little Ponies for Isla while she was in intensive care.

Isla’s mum took this picture of her with the pony drawings when she was back at home.

People even sent thumbs up selfies to the Post Pals team. Vikki gave all the kind volunteers a thumbs up in return.

Elbi also give people the opportunity to donate £1, and it’s amazing how quickly £1 donations add up! Within 2 months Elbi users had donated £400 which we decided to use for a special project.

Post Pals had seen a video of Jiffy Popcorn and thought it looked great fun to make, and eat. We found the popcorn on Amazon but also spoke to Candy Chaos, who we often work with. Candy Chaos spent hours working with us to put together a box full of fun candy and all for an amazing price.

40 families were sent a box and it created lots of smiles! William came home to his box after a very traumatic hospital stay but you wouldn’t know it to see his smile!

Jack has been having a very tough time too but was thrilled with his box.

A big thank you to Elbi users and Candy Chaos for making all these smiles possible.

Elbi can be downloaded for free on the App Store and you too can receive a big box of candy in the post from www.candy-chaos.co.uk
