Carry with Respect's 3 TO 3K 2017
Donation protected
This fundraiser campaign is in support of Carry with Respect's "3rd Annual Case for Dignity & Awareness Collection Drive" that will be held on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017 at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Lubbock, Texas.
NOTE: There are 2 ways to support this fundraiser campaign; details will be provided after the story below.
Organized by Carry with Respect, "Case for Dignity & Awareness Collection Drive" is a yearly collection drive benefiting victims of abuse. Its objective is to bring a sense of dignity and respect to abused victims (and their children) by offering them duffle bags/suitcases/backpacks to store their belongings without the use of trash bags during their time of suffering and recovery.
Case in point, here is a summary of an interview that I have conducted with Jane*.
When Jane and her children left her abuser and headed for the shelter, she was in a hurry and was only able to pack her things in plastic bags. She said that she did not enjoy putting her belongings into bags and felt a loss of pride and dignity. She would appreciate to have a suitcase or duffel bag to put her belongings in as she and her children leave the shelter. She also felt that her children had loss a sense of dignity due to their situation even though they had not verbally said anything.
At the same time, this collection drive provides an opportunity to raise awareness about "Domestic Violence" to the local community as October is "Domestic Violence Awareness" month.
This year's collection will benefit both Women's Protective Services (WPS) and Voice of Hope in Lubbock, Texas.
The monetary donations collected through this fundraiser campaign will be used to buy "New" suitcases, backpacks, and duffel bags such that there will be a constant supply to support both WPS and Voice of Hope.
$3000 will provide roughly 300 duffle bags ($10 per bag) or 50 Suitcases ($60 per suitcase).

Option 1: Generously donate $3 or more, and/or share this fundraiser with 3 friends through social media like Facebook.
