Help me Volunteer at the DNC in Chicago

Greetings!

This year, I will be volunteering at the DNC and I received a volunteer assignment where I will need to be in Chicago for 10 days. Even as a volunteer, the trip is entirely self-funded. I have 5 days covered but I need some assistance to help offset the hefty travel expenses.

I feel it is an honor to be a part of this moment in our history as we work to protect our freedoms, save our democracy and elect our first female president, Kamala Harris!

I have personally volunteered hundreds of hours for various causes over the past several years to make our nation and community a better place for everyone. I am a former educator who founded a small women's health nonprofit after I reacted badly to a common medical device. My nonprofit is still growing and is 100% volunteer work. I have a real passion for creating positive change, especially for women and children.

I have volunteered with Mom Demand Action for common sense gun laws and also traveled to Capitol Hill many times to improve patient safety with my organization BISA, the Komen Foundation and Patients Rising.

Currently, I am a lead volunteer and Creative Director for South Carolina Women for Kamala Harris. I have phone banked, marched in parades, attended rallies, hosted and helped organize events, traveled the state and to DC. I have donated, campaigned, managed our social media accounts across multiple platforms.

Volunteering for the Democratic party and for Women for Biden Harris, now Women for Kamala Harris, has been incredibly rewarding. I have worked along side some incredible people and have been fortunate to meet some of our leaders.

It has been my dream to attend the Democratic National Convention! Thank you for considering to help make this dream happen. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity and for your support!

Warmly,

Maria
