Derrick Shapley sent a message to Michael S. Burke - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AECOM - Email Address that said:
I was emailing because I am working on about 4 projects right now related to poverty in the Black Belt south and transportation and labor organizing in the South. I am also working on a project on progressive religion i in the south I have finished all requirements for my PH.D. my problem is I am working 3 jobs to pay off about 40,000 dollars in debt for healthcare and student loans. This does not give me enough time to work on or complete my projects. The reason I was emailing is to ask if you had any advice on how to fundraise to get enough funds to pay my debt off and focus on these projects. Any advice would be helpful. You can also call me at 256_648_9613 with any questions. I really want to use these projects to pull the south in a progressive direction any advice on media and thoughts on the project would be helpful and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Derrick Shapley
