Had to retire early

Image by K. Kendall
Met this gentleman at the acupuncture clinic this afternoon. He’s there for his hands.

"It’s my work," he told me. "I was in automobile body repair, always using my hands, banging them up. I had to quit working. Got carpal tunnel, couldn’t use my hands no more. Started doing auto body work when I was a kid. My grandfather taught me. He was Native American, all my people are Native. We moved here forty years ago when the shipyards was hiring. But that wasn’t my real work. My real work always was advocacy for Native people. Started an alcohol recovery clinic right after I moved to Portland, and later my son, my daughter, my grandson, even my great-grandkid used it. Glad it was there for them. That was my real work. I still do that work. You ought to see me in my headdress. Everybody likes to take pictures of that. We got a special school going right now, about to graduate sixteen kids. They never would have finished high school nowhere else. That’s my real work. But I can’t use my hands no more. Used ’em up, I guess."

Sorry for the terrible quality. Dark clinic waiting room, only had my pocket camera. Here’s a moment when I wished for the Nikon. But then again, if I’d hauled out that big brick of a computer-on-a-rope, it would have changed the whole energy in the waiting room. The pocket camera is discreet. Quiet. Doesn’t call attention to itself.

Question by Lauren T: Fundraising ideas for a non-profit organization?
My SIFE group at college is in charge of a fundraising project for a local non-profit organization called “The Hope Center”. It is a Christian based drug and alcohol recovery program for adult men. If you have any ideas for the project please let me know. We live in a town of about 25,000. Thanks in advance!

dry Dish For A Cause (http://www.dishcares.com) they donate $ 60 (or $ 120 if you have a non-profit 501(c)3 or tax id for IRS purposes) every time a friend, supporter of the fundraiser, etc. orders Dish network. For more info you can check out their website or contact them i believe their email is [email protected]

They helped a friend of mine raise money for their church mission trip.

If you get at least 20 orders in a calendar month (new customers only) they will donate $ 135 per order instead of $ 120. It is cleaner than a bake sale, not as messy as a car wash, and much more profitable. Just involves spreading the word and they will even print “THE HOPE CENTER” on the flyers, so people will know what their supporting!!

with that donation increase, just 20 activation is $ 2,700.

They worked for us, and didn’t cost a thing! (yes many fundraisers actually want you to pay things up front or make a deposit for their services… come on non-profits need fundraisers to RECEIVE money, not for some scammer to TAKE their money.

Hope it works for you like it did for us!!
God Bless
Jason
