At Vashti, our mission to serve children and families depends on a foundation of care, compassion—and functioning technology. Unfortunately, our IT infrastructure is in urgent need of updates. With a goal of raising $100,000, we’re calling on your support to bring our systems into the digital age and ensure we can continue operating efficiently in 2025 and beyond.

Our current technology, including servers, laptops, and our time clock system, is outdated and struggling to keep up with our team’s needs. Without these critical upgrades, our ability to run our programs and serve children and families is at risk. To date (as of February 26, 2025), we've received $4,000 in grant funding for technology updates and $3,000 in donations, but the need is immediate and far greater.

The situation is critical:

Our server upgrade happened in February of 2024. Without this upgrade, our team faced slow systems, workarounds, and an overburdened IT team struggling to maintain basic functionality.

Our desktop computers are past their usable age. During a recent snowstorm, remote work became almost impossible because staff could not bring these outdated systems home. Many of our computers are no longer supported by Microsoft, leaving us vulnerable and inefficient.

We are doing everything we can to stretch our resources, but we cannot do it alone. With your help, we can replace these essential tools and provide our staff with modern, reliable technology that enables us to focus on what matters most: the children and families we serve.

How You Can Help:

Donate to our IT Infrastructure Fund. Every dollar makes a difference in reaching our $100,000 goal.

Spread the word. Share this appeal with friends, family, and colleagues who care about supporting a mission that changes lives.

Give gently used hardware. Laptops less than two years old that can run Windows Professional would be greatly appreciated.

Our team is committed to serving with excellence, but we need your support to overcome this challenge. Together, we can ensure that our mission thrives in a digital world and that Vashti continues to be a place of healing, hope, and transformation for children and families.

Your generosity fuels our future—and the futures of those we serve.

Thank you for standing with us.
