Vehicle Needed For Summer Camp Program
Donation protected
Hello! I am the founder of Wake Harvest, a mentorship and development organization for children in and around Wake County. We specialize in working with kiddos with ADHD, anxiety, behavioral challenges, neurodivergence, etc. I am reaching out to this amazing community for help.
We believe in experiential learning and enjoy exposing our summer campers to fun weekly field trips. Unfortunately, our bus is broken down. I am desperate to secure transportation for our campers and am humbly requesting donations to purchase a new or used vehicle. I am also looking for leads on 15+ passenger vehicles for sale.
Some background:
· Despite my best efforts to maintain the last bus, a major issue was misdiagnosed during its last servicing causing the engine to seize. It’s currently unusable.
· Last week I paid $446 out-of-pocket to rent a passenger van for the field trip – sadly, we do not have the budget to continue paying this weekly. $446 only covered a 2 day rental.
· As the founder of Wake Harvest, I didn’t pay myself a salary for 2 years. I just began paying myself a few months ago but I can’t prove income for the last 2 years, so the bank denied my loan request to purchase a new vehicle.
· I am prepared to put $7k down on a new vehicle. I am short $10k to purchase a 33-passenger bus. I’m also open to other options.
If you feel moved to support Wake Harvest, we are accepting donations here. We are grateful for any contribution. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jessica Rivera
