Helping Hands
A multi-role React interface for coordinating donations, volunteering, organization requests, and administrative review.
What it is
Helping Hands is a frontend application that demonstrates connected workflows for donors, organization representatives, and administrators. It includes dedicated layouts and routes for each role.
Why I built it
Donation and volunteering workflows involve different people with different responsibilities. The project organizes those tasks into clear role-based experiences instead of a single generic interface.
What I implemented
- Built separate donor, organization, and administrator layouts with nested React Router routes.
- Created donation discovery, organization search, delivery, volunteering, account, request creation, and submission-review screens.
- Implemented demo authentication and persistent sessions with localStorage.
- Added searchable organization data, category-based donation filtering, conditional request fields, editable profiles, and responsive navigation.
- Developed the interface with reusable React components and Tailwind CSS utilities.
How it works
- 01
Choose a role
Demo authentication routes users into donor, organization, or administrator areas with persistent local session state.
- 02
Find ways to help
Donors explore organizations, browse categorized requests, arrange deliveries, or register for volunteer opportunities.
- 03
Publish needs
Organization representatives create donation requests with category-specific fields and manage organization information and deliveries.
- 04
Review activity
Administrator screens provide donor and organization account views plus submission-review workflows.
Important features
- Three role-specific application areas
- Donation request browsing and filtering
- Volunteer registration workflows
- Organization directory search
- Conditional donation-request forms
- Editable account screens
- Persistent demo sessions
- Responsive shared navigation
Technical challenges
Organizing role-specific navigation
Nested route groups and dedicated layouts keep donor, organization, and admin workflows separate while sharing common shell components.
Adapting forms to donation types
The request-creation flow renders different fields for medication, clothing, blood, food, school supplies, toys, and medical equipment.
Representing a complete workflow without a backend
The repository uses bundled JSON, component state, and localStorage to demonstrate product behavior as a frontend prototype.
