Hi

[@NonprofitWrench]

I started a charity in my area helping people with poverty and disability. I do free simple vehicle maintenance and handy services. Mostly help people living on the streets or in their vehicles. Mental illness, addiction, and childhood trauma seem to be the biggest issues the people i see have in common.
I was surprised how difficult it is to get anyone in the public to care let alone donate or support humanitarian work. Local news organizations will cover all week the 10th Starbucks to open in town, but I cant get them to say one word about a new charity offering free services to alleviate poverty and disabled. Makes me sick.
