# Can I gift a donation in someone’s name?

> Yes — every gift here is a donation in someone's name: you pick costed animal care from £5, they get a personalised e-certificate naming them.

## Quick answer
Yes — that is exactly how this shop works. Pick a costed piece of animal care (from £5), add the recipient's name and occasion, and donate. World Animal Rescue Network emails a personalised e-certificate naming them and the care funded in their name — for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries or memorials.

## How naming works
At checkout you can add a "to" name, a "from" name and an occasion. They travel with your donation to WARN’s secure page, and the e-certificate is personalised with them. No account, no card details shared with the recipient — just the certificate.

## Occasions people give for
Birthdays and Christmas are the big two, but in-memory gifts are close behind: a donation in the name of a person or a much-missed pet, funding the kind of animal they loved. Monthly sponsorships work the same way — the recipient gets the certificate and the ongoing updates.

## What to write
Keep it simple: their name, your name, the occasion. The certificate carries the specifics of the care funded, so the story tells itself.

## FAQs
### Can I gift a donation anonymously?
Yes — leave the "from" field blank and the certificate carries only the recipient’s name and the care funded.

### Can I gift in memory of a pet?
Yes — dedication certificates for pets are among the most common. The pet’s name appears on the certificate with the care funded in their memory.
