I am an active volunteer and have accumulated over 240 hours of volunteer service over the past 2 years.
My goal is to raise some money for local charitable organizations; that are credible in support of people in need during or after natural disaster. I also intend on funding resources for my volunteer services.
What I intend to do with the donations is to place it in the hands of charitable organizations. In good faith for those donations I will upload copies of the receipts periodically. I would also like to use a portion of donated funds for travel expenses to be an active volunteer in areas that need assistance. I intend on traveling within a 250 mile radius of my current location which is located in West Central Louisiana.
I believe that this campaign could be a long-term endeavor and that proof of its worth will be revealed as planning opportunities are refined.
