MIAMI, FLORIDA, MIAUNITED STATES, April 6, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- There are a lot of worthy causes out there, and sometimes it feels like they’re all clamoring for attention. People want to do good things but how can we decide what cause to support? And when does a cause become more than a television commercial or a radio ad or a newspaper photograph? When does what’s wrong in the world become something that you need to fix? Sometimes you may want to close your eyes and hold your hands over your ears so that you don’t have to see or hear all the heartache in the world. Donating to a cause that makes a difference isn’t just a matter of opening up your wallet. It also means listening to your heart.

#TechnologyForUs is an initiative that finds ways to help a wide range of causes that benefit people and organizations needing your assistance. By using an ambassadorial approach, the organization engages companies, start-ups, and individuals in improving the socio-economic prosperity of at-risk communities. Their Gofundme crowdfunding campaign is seeking to raise $50,000 so that donations can provide direct assistance to the homeless, to school students, to teachers, and to families. Organized by Philip Edie, this crowdfunding endeavor offers something for everyone who wants to make a difference in a world where too many people feel that because they can’t cure the entire problem, there’s nothing that they can do. But that’s not true.

Let’s start with children. Everyone has a computer, of course . . . not. Children in low-income families don’t always have computers and printers at home, so when there’s as assignment requiring Internet research or typed papers, they’re dependent on public access computers at public libraries. But what happens when the library is closed for the evening and the assignment isn’t finished? That child risks receiving a failing or low grade. The student may be just as bright as another child, but without the necessary technology to complete the assignment, grades often fail to match a child’s potential. #TechnologyForUs sees the problem, and attracts donors who can help provide the solution. Are you one of those donors?

What about teachers? Do you know that many school budgets don’t provide enough funds for the supplies that students need? Very often, teachers buy those supplies out of their own incomes so that their students don’t go without. #TechnologyForUs is looking for benefactors who can help provide funds for the crayons, paper, art supplies, and other items that they use to provide a balanced education for the children in their classrooms. Can you support teachers who support their students?

A lot of families struggle to make ends meet. Some families have given up on the ends ever meeting at all because the odds are stacked against them. It’s not Apple iPhone upgrades, Starbucks lattes and golf outings for these families; instead, it’s trying to make a minimum-wage paycheck cover child care and car repairs, healthy meals that include fresh fruits and vegetables at least some of the time, and medicine when kids get colds. Desperate families often succumb to financial solutions that prey upon their economic livelihoods; with #TechnologyForUs help, there’s a way out for these victims. Can you be part of that way out?

Homelessness is a basic problem. But finding a place to live isn’t an easy solution. Acting alone, an individual can’t change the fate of a homeless person who may want to lead a productive life but doesn’t know where to start. Acting collectively, donors can alter the destiny of the homeless in a community by meeting their needs and directing them to a destination that lifts them up. Can you help find the homeless find their way home?

Are you ready to be an ambassador? #TechnologyForUs has plenty of opportunities to put the goodness of your heart, combined with the generosity of your gift, to very good use.
