Helping The Homeless

The topic my group (Female Dogg) picked was homelessness and we needed to raise money to buy them a gift of essential items.

Our first action was actually enabled by a disabler, we were initially going to do a mufti day. But we were unable to, due to it being unfair, because if one group does it everyone else will want to do it too. So we chose to do a raffle instead.

We needed to get permission from Mr. Rogers to do our raffle. Oceana emailed him asking for permission and it was approved. Luckily we had no disablers during this process. This was our first step into the right direction to help the homeless.

 We then advertised our raffle by putting up posters and went into classrooms to explain what is was, how you could enter and why we're doing it. The majority of the entries were from the staff of HHS. 

Problems came here and there but there was one specific problem which was buying the raffle items. Mr. Aitken was kind enough to use his own money and bought the raffle items. After that we were all set to host a raffle and we raised roughly $100+ 

On Thursday the 7th of December we drew the raffle and Mrs. Beer won it, she was very excited and happy that she won. Because of that we have made a positive impact in the community already. Oceana also used the money we raised to buy the items we're giving to the homeless. 

We have given the bag to a homeless and we hope it helps them. Maybe this will spread some kindness and have a chain reaction. Pass it forward.
