Thoughtful Support for Families – Gift Request Form

At the Spina Bifida Association of Iowa, we know that a thoughtful gesture can make a world of difference. Whether it’s a care package, a meal, or a small act of kindness, these gifts remind families that they’re supported by a caring community.

This page is for requesting gifts and special gestures—not financial assistance. If you know a family who could use a little extra encouragement, or if your own family could benefit from a thoughtful surprise, we invite you to let us know.

Who can request a gift?

Anyone! Families can fill out the form for themselves, or friends, relatives, and community members can nominate someone who deserves a little extra care.

What kind of support is this?

• Care packages tailored to the family’s needs
• Meals or treats delivered during a tough time
• Thoughtful gifts to brighten someone’s day
• Other non-monetary gestures of support

When is this program a good fit?

Some examples include:

• The loss of a loved one
• A recent surgery or medical procedure
• Lengthy hospital stays
• Facing a challenging diagnosis or a difficult time at home
• Any situation where a family could use comfort and encouragement

How does the process work?

1. Submit a Request: Fill out the confidential Gift Request Form with details about the family and the type of gift that would be meaningful.
2. Review: Our team will review your request within 72 hours to ensure it meets our program guidelines.
3. Confirmation: We’ll reach out to you before sending the gift to confirm all details and make sure nothing has changed.
4. Delivery: Once confirmed, we’ll coordinate and send out the gift as soon as possible.

If you have questions or need more information, please email [email protected].

We’re here to help spread kindness, one family at a time.
