Help Bring Food and Materials to Africa

It's been over 3 years now that I've been longing to aid struggling people in Africa through a Volunteering program. Seeing how many devasted children and others in need really hit my heart and I've made it my goal to help. Every time I bring up the idea to my parents, it's always rejected based off of financial issues. My mom is residing at home with my little brother, unable to work at the moment, and my dad is struggling to pay off the expenses of six kids, especially with one going off to college this year. Any donation will help significantly, the amount does not matter, it's always the thought that counts. Thank you!
