"Not All About Me" - a nonprofit organization I am trying to set up

the problem:

I am trying to set up a non-profit organization whose mission is to help those patients hospitalized by running errands, making meals, sitting with the patient... anything to help the patient and family endure their hospital stay and make it easier

vital stats:

people impacted:

2

people involved:

11

why it's important:

I saw what my family went through when my younger sister was hospitalized and I promised myself then that when I was old enough, I would do something to make it somewhat easier for those patients and their families when they are hospitalized and do not have help

the plan of action:

work at hospitals and help patients who want help with anything from running errands, sitting with patients, providing meals, getting supplies...

how you can get involved:

I plan to recruit friends to help so we have as many people helping those that request assistance
