Okay, so the Red Cross reports that it will need 40,000 volunteers for huricane relief. I'd like to go out and help, but as I understand there is no stipend for RC volunteers workers, and I have rent to pay.
So, trying to figure this out, it hit me that we should organize a system to raise funds to "sponsor" individuals who are able to volunteer for the Red Cross, but do not have the savings that would allow them to be out of work for a month or two.
I'm not web savvy enough to set up a website, nor am I non-profit savvy enough to build the financial infustructure that this would require, but I know you guys out there must be. So, please respond if you can help design an infustructure that could get this things off the ground . . . hopefully this weekend!!
Update [2005-9-23 13:37:59 by Smileswearily]:So no one likes the Red Cross. Well, this kind of thing could work for anyone doing anything that is beneficial to those in need, but prevents them from getting income and paying bills. So, I've changed the title and it DOESN'T HAVE TO INVOLVE THE RC. Thanks
