Displaying flexbox centered but align items left like text align left

Question

I am trying to setup these divs to display in the centre but keep their items displayed left, like text-align: left would do.

Here's my example: https://jsfiddle.net/gr5Lmos1/

#donateList {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  align-self: center;
  flex-direction: column;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.donateItem {
  flex: 0 1 auto;
  align-items: flex-start;
  justify-content: flex-start;
  align-self: center;
}

.donateItem * {
  display: inline-block;
}

.donateItem p {
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

.donateItem img {
  height: 64px;
  width: 64px;
}

<div id="donateList">
  <div class="donateItem">
    <img src="/images/icons/bitcoin.png">
    <p>Bitcoin:</p>
    <p>fkewjhf;eiwhf;iewfhwehfewifhew</p>
  </div>
  <div class="donateItem">
    <img src="/images/icons/paypal.png">
    <p>Paypal:</p>
    <p>eijfhewfwifhefefewf</p>
  </div>
</div>

I am trying to get the donateItem's contents to all display left but keep all the donateItem's divs centre as they are now.

If you are open to include another wrapper in your markup, it is easy:

1. Use align-items: flex-start (or let it take the default stretch value) for the #donateList

2. Center align vertically and horizontally the new wrapper div.

See demo below (also removed some redundant styles):

main { /* ADDED */
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
#donateList {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: flex-start; /* CHANGED */
  /*align-self: center;*/
  flex-direction: column;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.donateItem {
  flex: 0 1 auto;
  /*align-items: flex-start;
  justify-content: flex-start;
  align-self: center;*/
}

.donateItem * {
  display: inline-block;
}

.donateItem p {
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

.donateItem img{
  height: 64px;
  width: 64px;
}

<main>
  <div id="donateList">
    <div class="donateItem">
      <img src="http://placehold.it/100x100">
      <p>Bitcoin:</p>
      <p>fkewjhf;eiwhf;iewfhwehfewifhew</p>
    </div>
    <div class="donateItem">
      <img src="http://placehold.it/100x100">
      <p>Paypal:</p>
      <p>eijfhewfwifhefefewf</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</main>
