I recieved a fundraising letter from CAFE in my email and I thought I'd share it.

Greetings Ryan, 

Final Fundraiser Launches to Open First Family Shelter 

 

Click here to donate or renew your support - and have it MATCHED today!

It's time to share some big news in our effort to open the first Family Shelter for Abused Fathers and Children. Over the last five months, financial contributions and critical developments have brought us within sight of the finish line.

We are now 85% of the way to our goal. Meanwhile we have secured mortgage financing arrangements for the remaining funds. And we've identified several potential sites - within our budget -  that could serve as the first home for abused fathers and children. Check it out these beautiful photos:

 

The pieces are quickly coming together. There's only one last hurdle. We still have a relatively modest funding gap of just 15% of the total project budget. Yet there is light at the end of the tunnel. A consortium of 11 of our donors have jointly pledged to match up to $80,000, for donations made before December 31, 2019.

That means if successful in this final leg of the journey, we will reach our ultimate goal of $500,000, putting us in position to open the shelter in 2020!

And we must be successful. We now receive calls each and every day from fathers in crisis, desperately seeking safe shelter and victim services. For too long these fathers have been told that they and their children were ineligible for support simply on account of their gender.

That's why your help at this time is critical. 

Please donate or renew your support now by making a tax-deductible contribution and become a part of this landmark project. 

On behalf of the hundreds of fathers and children in crisis whose lives you are about to transform, we thank you for your generosity.

I of course donated, it was only $5, but I figure it's a start.
