Tres Islas Orphanage Fund’s virtual Tupperware fundraiser is now open for ordering from October 15th until November 24th.

Paulla Williamson is hosting a virtual Tupperware party to raise money for the Tres Islas Orphange Fund. 25% of all product sales will be donated
to the Orphanage Fund at the close of the party.

From preparing family favorites and serving festive holiday dishes, to sharing homemade treats and thoughtful gifts, Tupperware makes everything easier for the holiday season.

It’s easy to shop and place an order. Just go to https://my.tupperware.com/Paullawilliamson and click on Tres Islas Orphanage Fund under open parties. This will attach your order to the fundraiser. Put the items you want in your shopping cart, complete the delivery and payment information, click Pay Now, and you’re done! Your order will be shipped directly to you.

Check back often because new products, like the award-winning Voila Glass Product line, and seasonal specials are added every few days and every purchase boosts our fundraiser total! Remember, the last day to order is November 24, so you receive your products in time for holiday food preparation and gift giving.

Please pass this invitation on to your family and friends! We should be able to reach several thousand dollars in product orders with your help.

Feel free to contact me, Paulla Williamson, at [email protected] if you have questions.

We need help. Got a call from the nuns at one of our orphanages yesterday and the great need is medicines. We already provide many for this home but now we have a boy with epilepsy, hypothyroidism, diabetes, and a behavioral disorder. The Medications needed for him are about $400 US a month. This is a huge cost and cannot come from our food budget.

I am hoping to find a sponsor for Francisco. Or someone who would even like to come visit him - he is a darling teen ager and really needs someone to care about him.

Could you help us provide for him? Kimberly McCullough Giles

We need your help. We need shoes for 19 cute boys at Refugio for back to school!

We can’t take this out of our food money so we really need some donors to step up and help with this.

Could you make a small donation?

Or Venmo

We are so grateful for any help!!

Investment Fund Donations:

A Tax-Smart Way to Help the Children

If you're 70½ or older, one of the most powerful ways to help the children of Tres Islas is a gift straight from your IRA. The gift goes directly from your account to the children, so it isn't counted as taxable income — and it can satisfy your required minimum withdrawal for the year.

It's easier than it sounds, and you can do it yourself online in about three steps. We've put simple, picture-by-picture instructions on our website — including guides for Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and Vanguard.

Have a donor-advised fund instead? You can recommend a grant to us there too (search Tres Islas Orphanage Fund, EIN 84‑1408725).

Why Donate Investments Instead of Cash?

If you’ve owned appreciated investments for more than one year, donating them directly may allow you to:

Avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.
Receive a charitable tax deduction for the fair market value of the donated shares (subject to IRS rules).
Make a larger impact for the charity without increasing your out-of-pocket cost.
Most major brokerage firms—including Vanguard, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley, Edward Jones, Merrill, and others—can process these transfers electronically using DTC instructions.
