Purchase Gift Cards for ILHV Fundraiser!

Illinois Hands & Voices has teamed up with Choices for Parents to bring the Hands & Voices Guide By Your Side program to Illinois.  Guide By Your Side pairs a seasoned, trained parent with a parent of a newly-identified deaf or hard of hearing baby/child.  For more information:  Guide By Your Side.

Here’s your chance to purchase gift cards in time for the holidays and fundraise to support the Illinois Guide By Your Side program:

Do you need to purchase gift cards for the holidays?  Then do all of your shopping with us and make a difference for families with children that are deaf and hard of hearing.  Tomorrow, Thursday December 11th is the last day to place your order in order to receive it by the holidays. 

 

Here’s the scoop:

1. Go to www.shopwithscrip.com
2. Click on the “Get Started” section of the tool bar, click.  On the left there is a section to click to “Register” your family with Scrip and that your purchase will benefit the IL Hands & Voices Guide By Your Side program (ID# ED2CCL6419145).  You only need to do this step the first time you use shop with scrip.
3. Then go to the “My account” section of the tool bar, click.  On the left hand side there is a tab to click called “Presto Pay”.  Setting up your presto pay account is so you can pay using your checking account for all your shop with scrip purchases.  After you set up your presto pay account 2 small deposits will be made into your checking account – once you see those deposits (it may take 2 days for the deposits to post) have been made into your account you will note the amounts deposited and return to the shop with scrip website.  Log in and click on “my accounts”.  Under that tool bar is a light blue box that reads: Your presto pay account has not been verified.  Click here to verify.  Click here, register the two amounts that were deposited and you are good to go!  You only need to do this step the first time you use shop with scrip.
4. After you are verified for presto pay you can go to the “order scrip” section of the tool bar.  Select the gift cards you would like pay with presto pay and you are done!  The gift cards are mailed to me; I will sort them and either mail or deliver them to you (depending on how close you live to me)!

 

It’s that easy.  After your first shop with scrip purchase all you would have to do for future purchases is log in and order!  So, don’t delay…order those holiday gift cards today!!!!!!!

Remember, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to call me.

Thanks again for your support.  You are making the difference for families of children that are deaf and hard of hearing!
