We did it! Second Heart Homes surpassed their goal of raising $50k, with all donations up to $100 matched. I was able to gather $1,275. Thank you to everyone who pitched in.

I seek out orgs to support that aren't bogged down with administrative costs so that their funding goes directly to addressing the needs of their constituents. Second Heart Homes isn't a shelter--they provide permanent housing. Read their story and replicate their model: https://www.sarasotamagazine.com/news-and-profiles/2023/01/megan-howell-second-heart-sarasota
