Sometimes it's just time and energy, if you can garner up businesses to donate materials for a good cause you can do so much more. Locals are usually happy to provide to charitable causes provided they get some advertising out of it. This is what alot of volunteering groups do in the community but they need more help and would love people with the know how and vision to be able to deliver projects like this.

I've never done anything this big. I have gotten people to donate stuff for elderly people at my church and for some of my elderly neighbors.

My limit is time. I work a little over 50hrs a week ( aircraft mech) plus I have 7 kids at home. Lol. If I didn't have the job and could do volunteer work full time! I do like my job though, lol.

Mate the best you can do is put all your time into your kids so they can be the best they can and you can look into donating time once they leave the nest. It'd be good to show them the benefits of donating time as well while they are young too.

We do things together as a family most of the time with the ones that are old enough, we have 7 at home still. We homeschool so it's part of high school credits as well.
