After falling on hard times, I was forced to reevaluate my life and what I wanted to accomplish. I have always been an artist and a creative soul. In my darkest days the art of photography found me and gave me the ability to create beauty when all else was in complete chaos. The feeling I get from making others feel beautiful is indescribable. My dream is to do this professionally and have my own business I know this is what I was meant to do! I am taking the leap and putting 100% of my time, effort and self into making this dream come true. I am in need of donations so I can purchase quality equipment that will help me produce worthwhile work. I truly believe with a little help from others as well as helping myself this will turn my life around for the better. I have created this website with the belief that if I was able to ask a lot of people for donations of as little as 0.99 that if enough people came together and each gave less than a dollar that collectively you could change the entire course of my life for the better. I will be blogging to document this journey and look forward to taking you along http://www.the99centexperiment.com/

i'm studying law and i recently lost my part time job that was paying for everything, my contract expired and they didnt want to renew it. I really need the money to travel to uni, and buy my law books. If anyone can help me id really appreciate it.

I will be needing at least $600 (for 2 semesters) to go back to college and finish the remaining units that I left several years ago. Please, Help Me! I am Gary, former NGO worker from Manila, Philippines. Currently, I have been out of work for over a year now since my last project-based job ended in December 2011. I have been having a hard time looking for a job in absence of a college diploma. I am very apprehensive about my family's future since they greatly depend on me. WISH DETAILS: For the reason, I would like to go back to school to finish my remaining semesters in college, but the big problem is...where to get money to pay the costs. I am in need of at least $600.00 (for 2 semesters) to finish the remaining units that I have left behind, as per my inquiry to the college where I am planning to enrol in and transfer my earned credits-college credits earned when I stopped almost 7 years ago due to economic problem. I hope somebody out there with a heart of gold can help me. Whatever amount, I could use the help. CASE DETAILS: It has almost been 7 years since I stopped from college to support my family (as the 2nd child of 8 children) when my father, during that time, suffered from stroke. I was in my senior year then, but I found no other options but to do so in order to help augment family's income. Since then I have been working hard to find a living. I had some project-based & contractual jobs in the past both in public and Non Profit Organization, earning a measly which was barely enough to meet both ends, but currently I have been out of work for over a year. I have been having a hard time looking for a job in absence of a coveted diploma. I am very apprehensive about our future since my family depends greatly on me. Thank you in advance and God bless! I will be forever greatful to whatever help would give.

Hi my name is Paul . I am raising funds for my wife who is very ill and her dream is to spend what years she has left touring Canada in our old camper that we have so many memories in. Well i would be delighted if i could fill that dream for my wife . My wife is only 55 and she has so many strokes , she was supposed to die a few years ago but she pulled through a major stroke that crippled her for 5 years and she learn to walk and talk all over again . Now on top of all that stress to the brain she has major seizures to . So my time is comforting her and telling her it is OK . Every night i cry thinking of all the pain she must be in . I have no way of raising the money as my time is looking after my beautiful wife . So it would mean the world if i could make this dream come true . I would never dream of asking people for help before as i am a proud man , but i had no solution to this . So i would be so blessed if i could ask for your help and get people to spread the word . Thank you so much . xx http://www.gofundme.com/1ygk5o is my fund page
