Why do we need Your financial contributions?

The ministry of White Cross Canada is funded by donations.

From container shipments to day-to-day operations, the ministry of White Cross Canada's is supported by donations from individuals, groups, and churches across Canada. We do not receive regular income from the International Office or elsewhere to support the operation.

Our existence is a testimony of the Lord's provision to these donors and to us. Thank you for trusting in Him to meet your needs and sharing what you have to meet our & our partner's needs!

Not all churches can cover the cost sending materials they collected.

When we receive medical supplies and hospital supplies, we suggest $2/lb financial contribution to cover the cost of shipment. However, not all groups can raise enough funds to cover the cost beyond collecting supplies and preparing them.
When you donate financially, you are not only helping the needs of our partners but also the groups with small budgets to continue their important ministry.

Most medical equipment is donated without shipment cost covered.

In addition to groups with a small budget, there are many organizations and individuals who donate their equipment generously. Those pieces, however, typically come without shipment costs covered. In order for us to continue sending more medical equipment (such as hospital beds, surgical tools, and dental chairs), we need funds in addition to the suggested $2/lb donation from the churches that send hospital/medical supplies.

Your donations help us send items that are donated by organizations and individuals who are generously donating valuable items.

"Shouldn't they become independent?"

As we rely on financial contributions and continue to give to our partners in West Africa, some people are wondering if we are creating an unhealthy dependency between them and us. However, we are building this relationship as an "interdependency" to grow together. (Imagine our relationship as a healthy parent and adult-child relationship.)

If you give, approximately...

The cost of sending 10 sets of

baby layettes (based on the weight).

When someone donates complete layettes to the Centre, you can donate $10 to get them delivered to Cameroon.

The cost of sending a banker's-box-size

box of 4" x 4" Absorbent Squares

(based on the weight).

Each square touches someone's life in clinics and hospitals, where they receive physical and spiritual quality care.

The cost of sending a box of hospital linens and gowns (based on the weight).

These items are integral to running the hospitals and clinics but hard to acquire enough quality materials for the local sewing room due to the increasing demand and supply shortage.

The cost of sending a box of

rolled bandages (based on the weight).

Approximately 1200-1300 rolls of bandages are packed in our sturdy 16 x 20x 22 box, which weighs 85 lbs on average.

The cost of sending a set of used hospital bed and mattress (based on the weight).

As our partner's network of medical institutions is expanding, hospital/nursing-home-quality beds are always in demand.

The cost of arranging shipment with our partners, loading a container, and preparing paperwork. Many hours are donated by volunteer workers, in addition to the amount.
