Answers.Text: Looks like the end of your answer got cut off, but also I don't think this will work well if they have a legal need to report on the _value_ of the donation and/or to give tax receipts. They probably want to use _contributions_ but with a financial type called "In-kind" or something, and then yes some custom fields related to what they need for those types of donations.
