<div>So many of our elders, our mothers, fathers, grandparents, worked hard their entire lives to build better futures for their families. But now, in their later years, too many of them are struggling with the basics: putting food on the table, paying for daily necessities, and living with dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have seen this struggle firsthand, and it’s been heavy on our hearts. So much so that we have decided to take actionable steps to help alleviate some of these issues directly. We are in the process of starting a nonprofit foundation called HANDS OF HARVEST, dedicated to supporting retired seniors who don’t have pensions, 401(k)s, or enough savings to cover their needs. While we work through the 501(c)(3) approval process, we didn’t want to wait to make an impact. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The the need is urgent, it is needed now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through this fundraiser, 100% of donations will go directly toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Groceries/meals for elders who are food insecure
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Daily necessities like hygiene products, warm clothing, and household basics
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Emergency support for seniors facing unexpected hardship
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised will help bring relief and dignity to someone’s father, mother, grandmother, grandfather, or neighbor who might otherwise go without.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe caring for our elders is one of the greatest responsibilities we share as a community. They cared for us, and now it’s our turn to care for them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel called, we invite you to give what you can and share this fundraiser with friends and family. Together, we can make sure no elder is forgotten or left behind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
