I started this campaign because I wanted to help women, especially mothers with young children, who are struggling. We are going to be cooking meals for this organization's clients as part of my Bat Mitzvah project and when we found out that they needed to fundraise to provide a gift for Mother's Day, we wanted to help out.

Our goal is to raise $500 -- to buy pajamas for 20 moms at the homeless shelter and Domestic Violence Safe House. If we raise more, we will use it to help Building Futures buy meals when no one can volunteer to bring the meal. I am contributing a donation and my parents are matching it.

If you can contribute anything - $5, $10, $25 - it is going to a really great cause. Thank you!
