Please read this and answer the questions down below.  I will be running for the National Campaign for Youth Shelter. I have been working for kids for 3 years I also work with many kids who were living in a shelter it required a lot of patience because these children often face a lot of trauma which can impact their behavior and emotions. I always have to understand them and encourage every kid I meet. I make sure they feel safe and happy and most important to make them valued. I feel like I meet the requirements and I am ready to make a difference in their everyday lives. Get Their Attention Get the reader’s attention in the first paragraph and establish common ground. (Does your audience care about education? Kids?) Explain your why Why are you running and why you are the right person for the position. (This is not the story of your history, but a short version. "My child came home bullied every night for a week, and I decided that was enough." Keep it short and sweet, but connected.) State the Problem State your problem or specific financial need (i.e. I need $1,000 for yard signs in two really important precincts.) Offer a Solution The “solution” to the problem is for the donor to give money! Ask for a specific amount and, if you can, tell him you need it by a specific date. (The primaries are 6 weeks away, and signs take a week to print and a week to distribute.) Close the Sale (and thank them!) Make certain to ask for the contribution. Create a sense of urgency. (We are pushing to raise money this week, and would like to raise enough so that we can focus on door knocking next week.)
