Not done: Sorry, but the content you propose is promotional in tone, is totally devoid of citations to independent reliable sources, and contains substantial copyright violations from https://usacares.org/programs/ or some similar source (which I'll remove in a moment). It cannot be published in this project. Wikipedia is not a website host but an encyclopaedia, and does not tolerate promotion of any kind – even for charitable enterprises.

If there are errors or omissions of basic verifiable fact in the page, please mention them here, together with the independent sources that confirm what you're saying. This process is gravely back-logged, so you may need to wait quite a while for any response. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:27, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
