Read about how to help defray the costs of one local woman's trip to Costa Rica to work at an orphanage.

In the mood to help someone out today, for no reason other than it's for a good cause?

Check out Silver Spring area resident Jade Whitaker's Go Fund Me profile, which is set up to help Whitaker raise funds to travel to Costa Rica to work at an orphanage.

Her profile states that "I have been offered the wonderful opportunity to work in one of Costa Rica's orphanages, Casa del Pan, and I'm raising money to help pay for the expenses! I am volunteering through United Planet, which is a nonprofit organization. Any little bit helps toward the goal and I'm thankful for each and every one of you!"
