A Hand Up Not A Hand Out

Taxidriver, Indianapolis



Hello,I live in Indianapolis,In.Up until March of 2011 I was a cab driver here in town.At that time I was asked by my son to join his small business of cleaning out foreclosed homes,a business he ran along with his regular job. Unfortunately as time went on we found we could no longer work side by side,so I have left as of December 2011.Shortly after leaving my car broke down and any money I had went to utility bills.My goal is to get back in a cab in time for the Super Bowl in February.As my Taxi License expired in September, I need to renew it.The cost to renew your license here is $132.50+ $250.00 for the first weeks rent on the cab.My Goal is to be back in a cab,and to continue driving throughout 2012.I know it's a small goal,but it will keep me going thru the lean times.Every $ is appreciated. Thank you and God Bless.

Diagnosed with Leukemia, Need Money for Treatment

Leukemia Sufferer, Need Treatm, Baton Rouge, LA



I have recently been diagnosed with leukemia and the doctor's tell me my future looks dark. Though, there is this experimental treatment for leukemia. I need about $150,000 for this treatment. I'm not looking for that much from you guys on this website. Every little bit counts. My doctor says that I have 8-10 months to live. Please look through your hearts and your wallets and throw a little bit my way. You might just save a life. God bless you all!

Help with books and expenses

Help a Hardworking Student, US



I am a student on the GI Bill. I am a married father of two, and I am working as much as I can, but hours are hard to come by. Due to cuts in the GI bill, I am going through a bit of financial hardship. I am a frugal person, I work hard and have a 3.8+ GPA, but sometimes all of us need a little help. I don't have any family to rely on, or turn to for financial help, or even to cosign a loan for me. I am an honors student who will make sure your money goes straight to helping me achieve my dreams, and making it through a tough spot. I thank you in advance for your generosity.
