The Struggle

Really this project is so stressful. I am still back on square one, trying to find a new organization. Though, I did talk to my mom and she told me maybe I need to contact them again because their going to want my help for Thanksgiving. It’s hard to do any work because I need an organization, it’s not like I can do this whole project without one. I feel like if I keep this organization, it will help a lot with the project, that’s why I don’t want to choose another one. This organization can help because they are exactly what I was looking for, and more. They already accept donations which is great. Hopefully when I contact them, it will be positive news instead of adding more stress to myself.
Though this 20 time project is quite the experiences with the real world because this will help me to handle stress, and be able to problem solve when something comes in the way. The only reason why this project bothers me so much is because its such a challenge, all my problem solving techniques are not what I want. This is because I like things to be perfect and they are definitely not perfect. Sometimes I wish I had all the answers so things wouldn’t be such a struggle.

Unlucky

I contacted this shelter, and they were perfect. They was exactly what I needed, based on their website they accepted donations, and they even had a list on what they wanted. I thought it will be smart if I filled out their contact us form. Either they didn’t read, or try to reach out on out I asked, or they just didn’t get it. I really disappointing because they was exactly what I wanted in an organization. Plus, since it was really hard to try to find an organization like this one. So now I am hoping that they are just late in responding, and of I just got to find a whole different organization. Instead of just sending out an email, I can also call like two days later. I didn’t do that first because I thought I was giving them time but, now I know I want them to know I would like their help in this project. This is because even though I kind of helping them, they are also helping me because I need an organization to start this project. I know that all types of problems are going to happen, so until then I’ll try my best to do what I can.

Where to start?

It’s really hard to find the right homeless shelter in York because sometimes the shelter may not be active or the might only help certain people. It’s a problem because the project is based on giving a helping hand to ANYONE in need, not to help certain people. In addition towards that there I would love to find a shelter close by, of course, because I would need to drop off my collection. Though I did email a homeless shelter. I just felt like I should email first for their thoughts before I call them asking for their help. Plus I feel like emailing them give the authority to think about their decision, instead of being pressured.
Though if I was to find a shelter that would allow me to help some of the questions would be like about how many men, women, and kids are in your shelter? What are some of the items that you will need? What are the most important items you think you’ll now? Is there a way I can help pass out my collection? If I can not do any of collection for you, is there any other way I can help?

My Passion

My plans for this project is to basically try to help the homeless. Giving that extra helping hand to get them what they need. My purpose of doing this project is because it really bothers me how many homeless people are out there. Since this bothers me so much, I might as well do something about it. That is why I want this project to be about helping people in need. I am grateful for a lot, at least want them to be grateful for something. I hope this really does works because this is something I will definitely put my all into.

I chose this topic because I want to help make the world a better place. Lots of people ignore the fact that there is about 633,000 people who is homeless in America. Most of them are people Even though the number has declined throughout the years, this is still a very large number. The first step in making the world a better place is by helping the ones who needed the most. So, why not start now?
