I am an intern for LNSF and it has been a wonderful experience so far! I have outreached to numerous different people and companies forming great relationships and partnerships! This non profit is for a great cause and helps so many people and brings so much joy! I love being able to give back in any way possible.

I took pity on people in the snowy street outside DAL dental school Halifax16th Feb. I agreed to a $50 one-time gift. This became a recurring payment on my credit card statement. My bank told me that the organisation making the transaction need to delete the recurring element of the charge. Littlestnick marketing director claims they have checked and it is a one-time gift, and she is "unsure why my bank would say otherwise" and "unfortunately, we have no control over this".

However, on their website I now find that the issue qualifies as the most FAQ, and it is the consequence of the software that they use. It all appears very suspicious, and possibly as a scam.

Ray and his team have helped so many children over the years. They give to the children all year long not just during the holidays. Such a pleasure helping them.

The Little Saint Nick Foundation is amazing! The LSNF declares its charitable work with a clear mission that anyone can help and give back. As a volunteer I was allowed to work events, and do routine computer work that never felt tedious. All of our hard work went to good causes helping children in hospitals all over the country (excited to see the good the LSNF will do as they expand further!). At the end of the day, you have a feeling of accomplishment when you finally get to see what your hard work has done or how it has the possibility of giving even the slightest sense of comfort to children. Besides what the foundation stands for, employees and coworkers make for an even more enjoyable experience. Ciara Gallagher, Wil White and Ray Mohler Jr. in particular are amazing people to work with. They share an overall passion for the success of the Foundation and the charitable work provided!

The way they approach people on the street making it seem harmless at first to then sign you up to a big donation is criminal, they guilt trip you from second 0, "You don't want to help the children?" and then they refuse to receive donations under $100, it looks like a scam mostly

My mentally handicapped son was sent to the bank while I waited in the car, Little saint Nick Foundation pressured him into a 400 donation. He was convinced to purchase a visa gift card as the lady folliwed him in and told him how much to donate.
He is mentally only about 15 and cant handle conflict or to make someone unhappy, To manipulate him to contribute 40% of his income is ridiculous.
I confronted them and was told to contact the charity his donation was tagged and would return thr funds.

I have commented on all social media platforms, called and emailed. no response in 6 days now.

Have a police report and believe this is fraud

Even email CEO

Also no receipt was given a you tube video was used instead with no donation amount date (not a receipt)

This was so appreciative and helpful while my children were waiting to be seen by
doctors and surgeon. It calmed them down and put a smile on their face instead of
tears!! Thank you so much

Staff was overwhelmed last night so they just dropped off the bag which for my toddler was a very good surprise, he enjoyed the pop it and is helping him keep his mind off the IV. I would love to know more on how I could support writing cards, I'm a crafter and would love to make cards for children in the hospital. Thank you for this, I loved the plush too, something soft to help me with my anxiety

My 4 year old was very scared and this bag cheered her up and gave her something new to cuddle. It brought her joy and took her mind off how she was feeling. Thank you Mease Countryside, and thank you Little Saint Nick!!!!

I did a recurring $30.00 donation with my credit card on September 9th at a Marshalls in Wesley Chapel, Tampa. I was not given the option of donating less than $30.00 and I was not told I had the option of doing a one time donation. I am happy to donate the $30.00, but would like to stop any future deductions, and I am unable to reach anyone. I called 2 weeks ago and today 9/23, I called 2 different numbers , one rang and went to a generic voicemail, one I was hung up on. Not sure what else to do, very disappointed to say the least.

I offered to donate 25.00 and got charged 50.00, when I when back to get the correct amount they told me I have to dispute the charge with my credit card. You try to do something nice for someone and they scam you. What a dumpster charity.

Very rude female staffer in Tampa, Florida, on 3/20/21, in Tampa Heights @ 3:30 PM near river. Very dismissive and defensive when called on it. I will NEVER donate to this organization again because of her. I only did the donation because the guy of the group was so pleasant.

I had to bring my 3 year old to the emergency room last month when he slipped and fell. He banged the back of his head and it started to swell very quickly. He was rushed to Franklin hospital where we were seen by doctors. We needed to be transferred to Cohen Children's hospital at 3:00am. We had already been in the hospital for almost 6 hours already and my baby was fed up with the whole experience. When we got to the emergency room at 3:30am we where given an emergency gift bag from The Little saint Nick Foundation. My poor baby had to be hooked up to more IV's and monitors and we were all scared. As he was being prepped for scan he grabbed the little teddy bear and clung to it the whole time. That small toy helped him get through the needles and scans and help him relax enough to get some sleep. Thankfully he was cleared and sent home the next day, but what started off as a scary day and a half of needles, scans and strange doctors turned the other direction. Because he had that teddy bear, he was able to calm down and finish all the scans to be clear to go home. I am eternally grateful for the Emergency Room Gift Bag and all that it did to keep my 3 year old calm and happy.

On December 17th 2014 Ray and The Little Saint Nick Foundation blessed 15 children with a trip to NYC and Toys R Us in Times Square. The children were full of smiles and excitement. After breakfast we boarded the bus and head off for NYC. We rode the infamous Toys R Us Ferris Wheel and went on a shopping spree that had the children in smiles from ear to ear. We sang Holiday Songs and had such an amazing day that I am compelled to let everyone know what a wonderful Foundation and Family we were so blessed to meet. Thank you everyone.....Much Love....Tina and Aidan
