πŸ›‘οΈ You're the admin β€” what you & they can do β–Ύ

This is their account β€” you manage it for them. Their balance stays theirs, and it only ever buys goods for them (never cash out).

βœ… What you can do (admin)
  • Add BidBuckz and order books, letters, and subscriptions
  • Set their mailing address
  • Everyday spending up to the monthly limit
  • Mail them their master key (from The Village)
πŸ“± What they can do (the person inside)
  • From their tablet email: check balance, order a book, see orders, journal, ask the Coach, report a problem
  • Receive everything you send β€” books, letters, the Digest, photos
  • Hold the master key β€” their final say over the account
πŸ”‘ The master key

Their code β€” mailed to them, never spoken on a call. It approves the big stuff β€” a single over-limit order, changing the admin, or bringing them home. Each big order uses up the key; the next one needs a fresh key from them.

πŸ“ž How to reach them β€” their facility

Three ways, however they're held: πŸ“§ email Β· πŸ“ž a call Β· πŸ“¬ mail. Mail is the safest β€” it always gets through.

πŸ“¬ To your person inside
πŸ”₯ To your people out here β€” sent out to the free world 🌎

πŸ‘† Tap any of these to see what your loved one can do inside. Mail reaches them even if they've lost other privileges; the Digest, coach, journal, and email work through their tablet if the facility allows it.

πŸ“§ Their private BidBudz email β–Ύ

This address is theirs alone. Have them email it β€” or add it as an approved contact in their facility email system. It keeps their account on its own line: if one address is ever blocked, we hand them a fresh one and nobody else is touched.

β€”
πŸ‘€ Their profile β–Ύ

Set them up once β€” this flows to their mailing address, their support page, and the family album. You only do this once. Look up the facility address β†’

πŸ’š Their support link is always on β€” share it so the village can chip in (the village can't see who gives, but the person inside always sees who it is).

No tablet or phone some days? πŸ–¨οΈ Print a mail-order menu to send them β†’ β€” they order a book or the digest with just numbers on paper.

🀝 Know a family who needs this?

Staying connected is hard, and most folks don't know there's an easy, honest way. Share BidBudz β€” you could really help someone.
