We help families who have the had the misforturne of job loss or otherwise suffered from the effects of the current recession. We do this by collecting donations from generous donors who can afford to make a small donation.
The idea is not to have a few people donate a lot of money. We believe that anybody who is capable of donating should. We are not asking for a lot of money. We are only asking those who chose to donate to do so based on there financial ability to do so. We accept donations of any size.
The Four Neccessary Expenses
1. We can help needy families with paying there rent or mortgage. By assisting them in rent or there mortgage, they will have more money available for the other four neccessary expenses. By paying there rent there landlord is able to pay their bills as well, spreading the wealth.
2. We can help pay utility bills. Many people have already been disconected for non payment because they cannot pay for there electric bill. Allot of people are waiting for money, unemployment benifits, disability, or just cant find enough work to balance the budget.
3. We can help support families with there medical and perscription expenses. They are not cheap. Many people go without because they cant afford them. There are allot of people that Need these perscriptions not just for living a comfortable life, but to survive.
4. We can also provide families and individuals with food and clothing that suit there personal needs. Not just whatever is donated to the food bank. There are a lot of people with allergies etc. which cause them to need certain items or have to be more careful with the food that is given to them.
We believe that the four neccessary expenses are the most important and need to be considered first and foremost. We do understand that families do have other needs and wants, But we want to do as much good as we can in these four areas before moving on to other needs.
Most often than not luxories are considered more important than certain basic needs. Such as being behind on the rent, but still eating out at nice restaurants or buying expensive clothes. If you dont pay your electricity bill, the cable and internet are worthless.
