I've been volunteering for a non-profit organizations, maybe 7 years? I think.
I get to work in every process of the planning, and that includes asking for donations. What a pain! I know the economy is not at its best, but come on people... I am not asking money for me, I am asking for people who just want to have a nice weekend. I'll even accept products, food, gifts. I am that easy. Unfortunately, those people are adults.
You might ask yourself why do I say unfortunately. Because they are not kids... no smiling picture of a child to melt someones heart. I am not making this up. Many companies will help children and animals, but not adults. It is so frustrating! Like they chose to be on a wheelchair and not be able to walk.
I breathe, and breathe. And remind myself why I am doing this. And after that? I pick up the phone again and start dialing another number. Hoping. Hoping that among the many calls and sent proposals someone will help us give these adults a fun time, If only for a weekend.
