Good afternoon everyone. I'm starting something new that is going to be designed to assist my senior clients that need work completed, but are on a specific budget that would make our, (already reasonable) pricing still too expensive for them to afford. I will take donations to a venmo account which will only be used to cover the cost of the job for our clients. These funds will not be used for any other purpose than to fund work required for senior customers that have a financial need. I will also post a brief story of each customer that needs our help or has used our help because of their need.
I am doing this, because it is heartbreaking to sit with a client and understand the necessity of work to be done, but hear that they can not afford the cost of the service. I've done my best to give at the expense of the business, but charging $2500 for a job that would cost (at minimum) $8000 is not sustainable for any business. Of course, this is the most extreme example of the jobs I've completed in spite of losing, but the smaller jobs add up to a significant amount of loss over time.
There are also the times that I would have been open to work with my prospective client, but never got a return after seeing an estimate.
Ultimately, the goal is to have the resources to never turn away our seniors who really need our service. Send us a message if you'd like to donate. You will get a receipt for your records and for tax purposes.
As a final note, we are only looking for those who feel led to help. We're not asking for a lot, only for what you can. There will be no shaming for any dollar value given, there will be no minimum or maximum limit outside of what the actual platforms will allow. Every little bit helps. Thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity. Our senior community will be sure to appreciate the love.
