**Our Mission:**  

Hootinanny Donations was created to help families and communities during times of tragedy — fires, accidents, health emergencies, and natural disasters. Our goal is to connect those who care directly with those who need help most.

**Why We’re Asking for Support:**  

We’ve come a long way building this platform, but doing it right means raising funds for:

✅ Legal nonprofit filing for transparency  

✅ Technology upgrades to keep the platform safe and scalable  

✅ Marketing to reach local families and national causes who truly need help  

**Where Your Donation Goes:**  

💯 Every dollar from this campaign goes directly toward building and improving Hootinanny Donations — no corporate greed, no hidden salaries.  

We’ll post public updates so you always know where your support is going.

**How You Can Help:**  

✅ Donate any amount — every dollar matters  

✅ Share this campaign with others who believe in community  

✅ Watch our progress — we’re in this together
