This past Friday was the deadline for applications for HMA's Goodstock event (the Vancouver portion, anyway – Toronto has extended their deadline to this Friday). This means that we have to now choose from among all of these amazing charities and decide who to pick for our 24-hour event.

It's not easy.

We want to be able to help them all, and there's a constant urge to make it 4 or 5 instead of 3. Turning someone down feels like we're rejecting them, even though we have to turn a whole bunch of applicants, simply because we aren't able to do that much work in 24 hours.

Making decisions like this means that someone gets picked over someone else. It's not personal, but it feels like it.
