Question? How does Heartshurt & Cowboy Dave accomplish soo much good on minimal funds and financial donations?
It doesn't add up!
1st its God's calling upon Cowboy Dave and Heartshurt.
Anything God orders he pays for! But, many people still need a natural explanation:
Hearts hurt is a disaster response organization that believes it's better to do disaster relief with minimal expenses.
-We pay no salaries , no fees, no reimbursements , no hotels.
-We pay no accountant fees because Hearts hurt has annual total donations of less than $50,000. (Don't need an accountant.)
The board of Heartshurt is expected to lead in financial support. Starting with Cowboy Dave and his family.
We earn no income from the efforts.
Most years we are on the road > 9-10 months on site at the most catastrophic events of the year.
24 of the 25 years Cowboy Dave arrived to disasters and sleeps in the cab of his truck.(winter cold and summers heat.) He sets up camp at the disasters "ground zero" stays for weeks and attends most anniversaries of the served disaster.
All these are the fabric of a lean, effective minimalist organization.
Cowboys disaster lifestyle..."minimal expenses" allows "cowboy Dave" to use donations for the intended purpose...helping people.
Your monetary donations are given to survivors in their expressed need and time.
Just sayin
Cowboy cares.
