Where does the money come from?
Money donated to Mercy Ships comes from many areas of the community. Most of our donations come from regular people who generously donate whatever they can, as small as that amount may be. Remember, every dollar counts. It only costs $5 to provide eye glasses to a vision impaired person, or $50 to straighten crossed eyes. If you have the ability to share your blessings with the world's forgotten poor, Mercy Ships promises to maximise the impact of your gift.
