My Story
Hi, my name is Nancy Ann Ferguson. I have been a lifetime volunteer and, for the last 6 years, I have been sharing my compelling true life story, helping victims of domestic violence-abuse, people with disabilities,
in poverty or homeless, on a volunteer basis at my own expense. Now I wish to continue with your help…
For several years I have been giving inspirational speeches, emotional support, hope and help to people in the Midwest, in need. Why am I qualified to do this?
I had an alocholic father, abusive husband, I started a business (photo studio) on $3.00, experienced poverty, seizures, spent a month in a coma, diagnosed terminal several times, had a 66-pound tumor, faced foreclosure
while ill, serious illness, one disaster after another. Not only did I survive, but I thrived, keeping a positive additude, never engaging in destructive behavior, and all the while helping others while also writing a book.
My Social Impact
For two years I have been volunteering and am asking for help to continue to do so. I have seen the postiive results my volunter work has done for victims of abuse, people living in poverty and persons with disabilities.
I provide resource lists, emotional and physical support, give free encouraging and educational speeches, teach classes, hand out free Inspirational DVD's I have created and beautiful photos.

$400 Tipping Point Goal
Tipping Point
If I reach my tipping point of $400, I can complete production of my inspirational dvd to be distributed at my volunteer speeches, classes, individuals in need, etc. I will also be able to get copies of the educational materials packets
I have made ($26.00), copies of local resource lists ($6.00), gasoline money to get to Des Moines and back ($50), possible parking cost ($10). I can then volunteer for a few more speeches at a meeting for victims of domestic violence victims in Des Moines.
Those cost are expenses per speech.
Total Goal
I have been volunteering to help anyway I could. I have driven people with disabilities or those leaving an abusive situation places for medical care, medicines, programs/meetings
or groceries. I have given groceries at times to those in need. These are things I do an a continuing basis. This money will help me to continue that work. I had a disabled lady (amputee in wheel chair) that I helped to move as she was escaping her abusive
husband. I used my van and helped her for 4 days packing, moving her belongings. It cost for gasoline.
Sometimes I have offered a temporary safe harbor at my home for people. Making them a nice dinner and putting them up for the night. Homeless, disabled or victims of abuse. I have also just been an ear
to listen and resource of help.
Basically, I can continue my volunteer work, reaching out, helping in anyway I can. Please help me to continue to do this vital work to help them.
The more money I receive the more people I can help. As I continue to give my volunteer speeches, with your support, I will be able to expand the area beyound just Des Moines.
