Support from everyone, in one gift
After the surgery, everyone asks what they can do. One link lets them all help at once: each person chips in what they want, and the gift covers whatever the weeks ahead need.
How it works for the friend or coworker who organizes it
Start the pool in the free KadoPool app
Choose Support as the pool type, then add the person you're supporting, or the partner looking after them.
Invite everyone who wants to help
By e-mail from the app, and in the group chat or the team channel.
Reminders go out for you
With automatic reminders on, KadoPool reminds the people you invited by e-mail who haven't taken part yet, about 3 days and 12 hours before the closing date. You see who has taken part, never who gave what.
Send the gift
They open it in the KadoPool app, with the KadoBook of everyone's messages.
On a computer? Scan with your phone's camera.
Free to organize, in about two minutes. Everyone who wants to help chips in from the link, with no app.
Messages to read when they're ready
They have 12 months to claim the gift, and the KadoBook stays available for two years.
A calmer tone
With Support as the pool type, the app and our e-mails stay quiet, start to finish.
What they receive
Help that fits the weeks ahead
Prepaid cards they spend wherever the card is accepted, for meals, rides or errands (up to $999 each; above that, gift cards), gift cards they choose, or a mix.
The KadoBook, with every message
Every message on its own page, with the names of the people who took part. They open it when they are ready; it stays in the app for two years.
The messages, on paper
You can add a KadoPrint: everyone's messages, printed and sent to them. You see its price, with shipping, in the app.
Their photos, on one poster
You can add a KadoFrame: the photos people shared, in a quiet classic look, printed and sent to them. You see its price, with shipping, in the app.
Why KadoPool for a get-well gift
- Private by design. Nobody sees who gave what, not even the organizer. The total stays hidden until enough people have chipped in that no amount can be guessed.
- They choose. Gift cards, prepaid cards they spend wherever the card is accepted, or a mix. You can also put part of the gift on gift cards you pick.
- Everyone can join. People chip in from the link with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay: no app, no account. Family and friends abroad can chip in with their own card.
What it costs
Organizing is free. Each payment carries the card processing and KadoPool's 2% fee: about $1.53 on a $25 gift. You choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top. See pricing
Questions
Do they need to do anything right away?
No. When you send the gift, they get one e-mail and open it in the free KadoPool app when they're ready. They have 12 months to claim it.
Can coworkers and family both join?
Yes, from the same link.
Do I hold the money?
No. Payments go through Stripe, never to you. The gift is exactly what was collected.
