HHH temporarily on hiatus

[queenofthehivemomof5]

Hey guys I hate to do have to post this right now but we are closing down the requests for HHH temporarily. Currently the official HHH funds are low and the HHH requests always went to Julie, however she has been crazy busy politicking in OR and so the request have been another thing I have taken on, and in fact I am doing much of the day to day to day running of HCW by myself (with the support of our great mods of course!!!).

With every request we approve and do some fund raising for or send money to someone we get about 20 requests for help and we just cannot support that many people and offer help. That is really hard and takes a very large toll out of me emotionally. I know that may sound like a cop out but it is taxing to hear everyone's financial hardships and know I cannot help everyone.

But funds are depleted and my life is just crazy busy right now and I need to have some time to brain storm some ideas on how to still help but in more manageable way. I am tossing some idea around with some of the mods of fundraising ideas and thinking about how we can help but have a more focused goal for those funds.

I am hoping I will have a solution worked out here soon and I will keep everyone posted once some ideas have been settled on.

I know there are so many people who are in need right now and I am just so saddened that we cannot help everyone.

I totally understand-I don't know how you do as much as you do with (5) kids.

bumping this up. We are working on fundraisers to help the HHH fund overall and the holiday fundraising is starting for the holiday helping hand (more to be announced soon) but the HHH hiatus is still in effect.
