Donations

It's not just your donations that make the difference, it's you. I am asking for donations for 2 reasons!

Reason #1) For helping to continue to run the Pinellas Food Pantries website. I know that together, we can change the  outcome for all of the people who are struggling to eat in our community daily. Your donations will allow me to operate, serve, and empower all of the people that visit this website everyday. Running this page costs $15 a month. I know its not much, but when you are disabled, hungry, and on a fixed income, anything helps. If you are able to donate or contribute to the operational expenses of this cause, please do so by using any of the means listed below. 👇 

Reason #2) I am the type of person who has worked hard to try to reach my goals but have been struggling with a lot of obstacles and personal difficulties along the way. A lot of you are probably on the same boat. My mom said she sees how much time and effort I put on running these Facebook pages and although I am helping others, it doesn't help my situation. I do this out of the kindness of my heart and never demand any money for my services, but she's right, I could definitely use help.

I am disabled and my car's transmission has failed. Its going to cost me over $3000 to get it fixed. With a fixed Social Security income, and child support taking 65% of that, its going to take forever. In my condition, it is very hard for me to walk and get around to my doctor's appointments, to pick up my kids and do something with them, or even to go to the grocery store or pantry get food. I have to rely on using my powdered wheelchair or mobility scooter to ride the bus. I have Diabetes Type 2, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Muscle Dystonia along with a gang of other health complications. The main issue is that it's so hot outside, that I always end up severely exhausted and dehydrated and fatigued .A lot of times, I even end up drenched or stranded because I got rained on. This is Florida, and you know how bipolar the weather is. You can leave and its a clear sunny day, and then you come out of the store and its a torrential downpour or tropical storm. Carrying the groceries is not easy when you're already using your hands to steer the scooter. If you could, please help with anything at all towards the cause of getting my car fixed. If you are able to donate or contribute to the operational expenses of this cause, please do so by using any of the means listed below
