Chapter 187 Charity Activities Hindered

After the establishment of the charity fund, Su Xi devoted herself to various charity activities with enthusiasm and expectation. However, the difficulties in reality came one after another, casting a shadow on her charity road.

The first problem we faced was insufficient funds. Although we received support from some companies and caring people at the beginning, as the number of relief projects increased and the scope expanded, the speed at which funds were consumed far exceeded expectations.

"The money in the account is getting less and less, but there are still so many people who need help waiting." Su Xi looked at the financial statements with a frown, full of worry.

Staff shortage is also a big problem. The operation of the fund requires a lot of manpower, from project planning, field research to material distribution and follow-up, each link needs a dedicated person to be responsible. However, since the public welfare fund is not well-known enough and the salary is limited, it is difficult to attract enough professional talents.

"There are not enough people, and everyone has to take on multiple roles. It will be difficult to guarantee work efficiency and quality if this continues." Su Xi said helplessly at the team meeting.

During an activity to donate school supplies to children in poor mountainous areas, Su Xi felt very guilty for not being able to buy enough high-quality stationery due to limited funds.

"The children are waiting with great anticipation, but we can only give them so little. I feel really bad," she said to the volunteers around her.

The volunteers also looked embarrassed: "Sister Su Xi, we have tried our best to save money, but it is still not enough."

At the same time, in the project to assist the elderly and widowed, due to insufficient staff, it is impossible to conduct regular follow-up visits to all the elderly in a timely manner, resulting in the needs of some elderly people not being met in a timely manner.

"We can't let the elderly feel forgotten." Su Xi said anxiously.

In order to solve these problems, Su Xi decided to seek more help. She first contacted the companies she had worked with before, hoping to get further financial support.

"Hello, our charity fund is currently experiencing some difficulties. I hope your company can lend a helping hand again."

But some companies said they had done their best and could not provide more funds.

"Su Xi, it's not that we don't want to help, the company's budget this year is also very tight."

This made Su Xi feel disappointed and helpless: "Should I just give up like this? No, I can't let those expectant eyes go to waste."

She began to send letters for help to all sectors of society, detailing the situation of the charity fund and the difficulties it faced, hoping to attract more attention and support.

During this process, Su Xi also heard some questioning voices.

“Is it because of their poor management that the funds ran out so quickly?”

"Who knows where the money was spent? Maybe there's something fishy going on."

These doubts made Su Xi feel wronged and angry: "We are wholeheartedly doing charity work, but we are misunderstood like this."

But she knew she couldn't be defeated by these voices and had to work harder to prove her innocence and sincerity.

After unremitting efforts, some new companies and individuals finally expressed their willingness to help.

"Ms. Su Xi, we are moved by your persistence and are willing to donate some funds."

“We can organize a team of volunteers to help.”

At the same time, some professional charitable organizations also extended a helping hand to Su Xi, providing management experience and resource support.

"Su Xi, your starting point is good, but the operation can be more standardized and efficient."

With everyone's help, the charity fund gradually got out of the predicament, funds were replenished, and staff was expanded.

"Thank you so much, everyone. Without your support, we don't know what we would do." Su Xi said excitedly.

The new volunteers brought new energy and ideas, and everyone worked together to re-plan the public welfare project to make it more scientific and reasonable.

In a project to build schools in poor areas, Su Xi personally participated in the supervision of the project to ensure that every penny was spent effectively.

"This is the children's hope. We can't be careless at all."

Although they encountered many difficulties during the process, such as bad weather during construction and delays in material transportation, Su Xi and his team never gave up.

"No matter what, we must overcome these difficulties and build the school as soon as possible."

Finally, the school was completed successfully and the children walked into the brand new classrooms with happy smiles on their faces.

"Seeing the children's smiles, all the hard work is worth it." Su Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with relief.

The joy of the school's completion did not stop Su Xi and her team. They knew that there were more challenges waiting for them to overcome.

However, new problems followed. In a project to provide employment training for the disabled, the quality of the course could not meet the expected results due to the lack of professional training teachers.

"These disabled friends came to the training with high hopes, but we cannot provide them with quality education. I feel very guilty." Su Xi looked worried at the team meeting.

Team members also expressed helplessness: "Sister Su Xi, we have contacted many training institutions, but they either charge too high or are unwilling to cooperate."

Su Xi gritted her teeth and said, "No, we can't just give up like this. Let's think of another way. Even if we have to learn the relevant knowledge ourselves, we must do this training well."

So, Su Xi led some team members to use their spare time to learn professional knowledge of employment training for people with disabilities, while looking for suitable part-time teachers.

"It's really tiring during this period. I have to be busy with other work during the day and read and study at night." One member couldn't help but complain.

Su Xi encouraged everyone: "Persist a little bit, this little bit of hard work is nothing if it means we can help those disabled people."

During this process, Su Xi also faced pressure from her family. She spent more and more time on charity and less and less time with her family.

The husband couldn't help but complain: "Look at you, you don't take care of anything at home, and the children almost don't recognize you as their mother."

Su Xi felt guilty: "Hubby, I know I'm sorry for you, but the charity fund is in trouble now, I can't just ignore it."

The child also said aggrievedly: "Mom, when can you go out and play with me?"

Su Xi could only comfort the child: "Baby, when mom is done with this busy period, I will definitely accompany you well."

Despite all the difficulties, Su Xi did not give up. By chance, she met an expert who had been engaged in employment training for the disabled for many years. After a sincere communication, the expert was moved by her persistence and agreed to provide training support for them at a relatively low cost.

"Great, I finally found my savior." Su Xi was very excited.

As the training went smoothly, the first batch of disabled trainees successfully graduated and found suitable jobs. Seeing the confident smiles on their faces, Su Xi felt that all the efforts were worth it.

But the good times did not last long, as the charity fund encountered legal problems during its operation. Due to its unfamiliarity with certain laws and regulations, some of the fund's activities were stopped by relevant departments.

"How could this happen? We are clearly doing good things." The team members felt very confused and frustrated.

Su Xi said calmly: "This is our negligence. We must understand the relevant laws as soon as possible and regulate the operation of the fund."

She consulted lawyers, attended legal training, and spent a lot of time and energy to solve this problem.

"These legal provisions are too complicated. They give me a headache." Su Xi couldn't help but complain.

But she knew that this was a problem that had to be faced and solved.

After a period of hard work, the fund's operations finally complied with legal requirements and returned to the right track.

However, new challenges emerged again. During an activity to donate medical equipment to poor areas, some equipment was damaged due to mudslides during transportation.

"What should we do? These devices are life-saving." Su Xi was extremely anxious.

While contacting manufacturers to urgently allocate new equipment, she also organized volunteers to repair the damaged equipment.

"Everyone should work harder and deliver the equipment to where it is needed as soon as possible."

During this process, Su Xi was under tremendous pressure and looked much more haggard.

"Su Xi, don't exhaust yourself." Her friends advised her with concern.

Su Xi shook her head: "It's okay, as long as I can deliver these equipment, I can persevere no matter how tired I am."

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, the medical equipment was successfully delivered to hospitals in poor areas, solving urgent needs for local residents.

Su Xi stood at the entrance of the hospital, looking at the busy medical staff and the patients receiving treatment, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

“Although the process is difficult, as long as it can help others, it is all worth it.”
