I want to be able to spend the entire month of September volunteering in Houston and the surrounding area.

My birthday is September 4th and I’ve had a lot of people over the last couple of weeks asking me what I wanted for my birthday, my answer was always the same, that I didn’t need anything.

And then Harvey hit.

I am incredibly lucky that my apartment complex has not been reported flooded while I have been out of town in Virginia working. I am incredibly lucky that I don’t have to get new furniture or clothes for myself.

I am grateful but I have a flexible work schedule that will allow me to spend as much time as a full-time job volunteering in September.

In order to make sure all of my bills are taken care of I typically do freelance work in Texas. I would like to make sure that my bills can be paid without taking time away from the volunteer work I’d like to do.

Any money collected over my bill requirement will be donated to Texas Charities, cleanup crews, and food banks throughout the month.

Please help me help people.
