We got a hundred dollar donation yesterday! Thank you so much! I will personally be writing the donor a thank you note. I will now be able to give my brother and his family an additional $100 the next weekend! This is so exciting!
I have decided to expand my cause. I talked it over with my husband yesterday and he thought it was a great idea. The details still have to be worked out but here's the basics of it:
Once I have reached my goal with helping my brother and his family, I want to extend the cause to other families. The general idea will be that I will get the word out on various networks, e.g. twitter, facebook, etc. about what I am doing. Then if someone knows a family whom they feel is in real need of and deserving of assistance they will be able to get me all the details about the family with a picture of the family, including why they feel the family should be helped. I will then start fund raising for one family at a time. The fund raising will go for a certain amount of time and at the end of it the family will be mailed a check.
I've never done anything like this or even imagined doing anything like this, so any feedback is very welcome. I will be researching how to set up a non-profit organization to be able to make it more official and any help on how to do this (web sites, etc.) is also very welcome.
Happy New Years!!!

Nice going. It's so touching to see an idea blossom into a cause. Good for you. While I do not have the funds to help, I'll continue to promote the project where I can. I can donate a logo should you need one just let me know. Good luck. -Sid
ReplyDeleteHey Wit! That's great! Any help is very welcome. A logo would probably be a good idea. I'm still doing some research and trying to come up with a good name but I'll let you know! Thanks for all your help :)
