Last year, my friend, Kydee Williams, and I started a non-profit project because we wanted to do charity work differently. Thus, The Pop-Up Care Shop was 1 .
TPUCS is a traveling shop of 2 donated goods for people in need. During the holidays, we 3 clothing drives and then went to women's shelters. Our main goal was to help inspire women who were 4 with hope as well as bring a little holiday cheer to our local communities.5 any project or movement wasn't easy. Brainstorming and coming up with cool ideas was the 6 part, but actually bringing those ideas to life can seem almost 7 at times. However, there were lessons about 8 that we didn't fully realize until we started this journey.
From our experience, we learned smaller shelters, especially those in less-commercialized areas were often 9 when it came to getting community support. Actually, they were typically more 10 to new and creative ideas and would greatly welcome 11 who offered help. Under our inspiration, many 12 people devoted themselves to non-profit work. Many shelters are understaffed and the staff overworked. Working directly with them helped us 13 the specific needs of the shelter.
While material things like food, clothes, money, and shelter can help people survive, what 14 helps people live is the intangible（无形） necessities like love, presence, patience. Even though we can't help every single person in the world, we can 15 a world of difference for at least one person.
