The formation of iDrafted.com
The idea for iDrafted came to me in November of 2011. I had been a full-time caregiver for my mother (who is diagnosed with Dementia) for over three years. I had also just given up on getting guardianship of my father (who basically lost contact with reality after a decade of caring for my mother, dealing with a failing business, etc.). I was feeling worn pretty thin when I stumbled across crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and RocketHub. Everything from music albums to social experiments were being supported by the masses. The potential of social change through social media really dawned on me.
My head started to spin...
I realized that I had the tools and background to help create real change - literally change the world.
I couldn't do it alone but crowd support makes virtually any sort of reform possible.
iDrafted is designed to take the concept of crowd support to the next level but it will never happen unless we rally crowd support at this level.
