Notes: Naomi is a super minor character but I super love her.


The problem with fundraising was that sometimes, you felt like no one else gave a shit.

Naomi hung up the phone and put her head down on the desk. Yet another rejection, not that she had expected anything else. She wasn't new to fundraising via cold calls. You'd think she'd be used to it: the constant rejection, the kind pity in some voices, the exasperated rage in others.

Okay. Back to work. She straightened up, hit the next number, and plastered a smile on her face.

"Hello, Mrs. Montgomery? My name is Naomi Clark, and I'm calling from Anonymous Hope..."

Uuugh, cold-calling. Poor lady.

Cold-calling is the WORST. Naomi doesn't stick with this job much longer.

Oh, no, never a fun thing from either end! Terrible job to have.

Nope. Though that is her future partner she's talking to at the end, so there's something tiny good.
