We will use donations from our Kick Starters to fill requests. When you become a “kick starter” you only agree to receive a weekly email. Share with others, donate, or hit delete if the request doesn’t move you – you are in the driver’s seat! New requests for help will be emailed to our Kick Starters every Thursday and will include an update of previously funded asks.
WMCA believes that together we can create supportive relationships where families experience hope during times of distress, rather than having nowhere to turn. Many hands make light work – when added together, even small donations make a big impact!
