Can You Help Kaitlin Volunteer at a Guatemalan Orphanage?
This week, Patch highlights a story featured on the GoFundMe fundraising website where people ask their community for help as they face illness or injuries; or to assist in funding volunteer work or other ventures.
Sometimes, we all need a helping hand. Neighbors, friends and families of those in need are reaching out to the community via the fundraising site GoFundMe. They’re raising funds for various causes including those who have suffered great losses as well funding trips for volunteer work.
