Modest Needs exists
To prevent
otherwise financially self-sufficient individuals and families from
entering the cycle of poverty, when this might be avoided with a small
amount of well-timed financial assistance;
To restore
the financial self-sufficiency of individuals who are willing to work
but are temporarily unable to do so because they do not have the means
to remit payment for a work-related expense;
To empower
permanently disadvantaged individuals who otherwise live within their
limited means to continue to live independently, despite a temporary,
unexpected financial set-back; and
To strengthen
small non-profit organizations by providing a forum whereby such
organizations can apply directly to the general public for the help
they need to complete the relatively inexpensive projects that will
allow them to better serve their clients and the communities they exist
to serve.
Modest Needs Foundation has not yet started any petitions.
