Thanks for the swift reply, Here's what I want you to do for me because I think you are in the best position to do this for me discreetly, I have been working on incentives and I aimed at surprising some women in our community who are going through cancer with gift cards this week. This should be confidential until they all have the “Gift cards” as it's a surprise. This will go a long way to show we care about them, I will be responsible for the reimbursement personally.
 
Can you get this done? and how soon?
