I had this idea (I have lots of ideas) There has to be a way that people that want to help other people can be matched together. Ok, let me explain properly. I'm a strong believer in kindness, kindness to other people, kindness to animals and kindness to oneself. I love to help people, I love to see people happy and nothing upsets me more than seeing the homeless sitting in doorways, shivering in the freezing cold winter weather, you know that's someone's son/daughter; there but for the grace of God go I. Well perhaps not on such a drastic scale, there are also the people that exist in a constant state of worry and stress about paying the ‘BIG BILLS' mortgage/rent/utilities I know what that feels like. Not too long ago during the horrendous 'Great Recession' there were moments when we felt like we were going to say bye bye to our home as we were struggling with redundancy, one salary and mortgage payments....very, very stressful to say the least, and there are still people struggling with money, wanting to live in a dignified manner, there is still poverty. So, here's my idea:
I'm setting up an online nationwide website so that people and companies will be matched to give help to those less fortunate. There are so many good souls that want to be able to offer items that they no longer need or want but don't know where or how to contact the people that need their kindness. I aim to launch a website that is in two parts; one part being that individuals can engage and help each other by listing unwanted items (via a database that will match them up) and secondly so companies can donate money for individuals/families that are weighed down by the stress of paying the big bills (mortgage/rent/utilities) whether from lack of finances due to illness, lack of employment or low paying jobs.
I have set up a crowd funding page and set a target of £70,000 "Wow, that's a lot of money" you may say and yes it is but in order to get this going, I need a very complicated website (bit too complicated for me to do), I need advertising revenue, I need to employ the services of a lawyer and an accountant and I need to live whilst this is in its infancy and I'm doing the admin i.e. my mortgage payments utilities, food etc The big picture is that anywhere between 12 and 18 months, this idea of mine would have grown legs and started walking itself and BIG BUSINESS will pay for advertising on my website therefore ensuring that individuals won't have to pay a single penny for helping others....Here's hoping and praying : )
