Finding my Problem and Purpose Statement

In looking for my Problem / Purpose Statement my friend suggested me contact my cousin to see if there was a problem for me to look at.  My cousin told me about PEP and how the organization is always underfunded and that they could always use more donations.  I asked her if that is a known fact and is there any way of contacting them for me to find out more.  My cousin suggested contacting Allyson Cubales at SFSU.  I wrote an email to Allyson in hopes to make an appointment with her the next day and see if the problems I heard from my cousin are true.
