NOTE :

This is a hastily thrown together blurb that may or may not survive the final edit of this page. Frankly, at the moment, I doubt it will.

Regardless of whether or not it does, the page needs to present a clear, compelling, and concise case which explains how the funds will be used to help the homeless, followed by a clear call to actions.
