I would greatly appreciate it.

I am taking a year off school in order to work. I am saving for a mission trip to Africa. The travel expenses are about $2,000, and living expenses for the duration of the mission (6 months) are $4,000. I am working full time and saving, but could use some extra help! Thank you!!!

For kayaker Steven Banks, it is going to be more about physical as well as mental endurance rather than simply covering a set distance around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano.

Banks, owner of Dreamlander Tours, on April 20 will set out on a 24-mile round trip he estimates will take about 24 hours, including a night stop on the water in the vicinity of Cape Romano when he will be on his own without a back-up team.

He is attempting the feat to raise money for three of his pet charities, the Impact community outreach ministry overseen by local pastor Ben Sprankle; a Malawi, Africa, charitable medical clinic called Partners in Hope; and a Cuaravac, Mexico, mother who is blind and has an epileptic son.

A poignant Marco Island connection is that another of her sons, Benito, worked on the island, raised a family, but died in 2011 from meningitis following a mosquito bite.

Banks had befriended Benito.

“Before he passed, he asked to make sure his mother and brother were taken care of,” Banks said.

A trip to Mexico to meet them prompted Banks to do everything he can for them, and his goal is to have them come to the United States for treatment.

Banks has called his fundraising paddle Kayak Marco 24.

It will consist of the 24-hour paddle that may incur inclement weather and unpredictable winds, put him at risk during the Cape Romano solo stop, and put strain on his body because of being out on the water for such an extended time.

But he is not too worried about that aspect.

As a hands-on guide, he paddles up to five or six hours at least three times a week, so has plenty of residual paddling fitness.

Still, he said, the length of time he will spend out on the water represents an unpredictable challenge, so he is avoiding any kind of complacency.

Banks’ route is not a fixed affair either, other than he starts and finishes at the Snook Inn.

While winds are unpredictable from this far out, tides are not, so Banks is studying charts and conferring with some of his charter fishing captain friends to map out the best places to try to be at certain times.

The combination of headwinds as well as fighting an in- or outgoing tide could be formidable, he said.

If the going is really good, he added, he will probably put in extra miles.

The kayak Banks plans to paddle is not the sleek, 17-foot kind that could zip around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano in a matter of a few hours.

He will be using an ordinary, fairly short and stable craft that doesn’t have much gliding ability, so every stroke will count.

While Banks’ sole motivation for the endurance paddle is for his three pet causes, a cherry on top may come in the form of recognition by the Guinness Book of Records.

The category would be “longest nonstop time period for a single person kayaking.”

The recognition would be subject to correct and exhaustive documentation, Banks said.

I'd like some help starting over, money for paying rent deposit and rent plus also money for my son's schooling as i look for a job.

Hi, I am Clement from South Africa. In South Africa we have to problems.
1. Unemployment and
2. Waste.

My business is too create work for the unemployed by doing recycling. The money you get for selling your recyclable material are so little it tough to pay a good wage for people. Currently they are getting less then $10 per day.

If all those who donate on this site gave me $2 it would be possible to illimunate poverty and makes Africa less dependant on the USA.

Kindly give me financial assistance to meet the costs of my post graduate studies.I could not afford to pay my tuition fees and other studying costs due to breakdown I experienced.The amount required is around 3000 Us dollars.I live in Tanzania,East Africa.You can send me the specied amount of money via M-PESA(Vodacom money transer service MOB:+255756770333)or Westen Union,

Kind regards

Yes, I'm really 70, and I've had to self-fund my PhD program for the past five years from my small pension because no school or other source was willing to fund someone of my age. Now I'm ready to defend my thesis, but the piggy bank is truly empty, and I'll probably be unable to attend my graduation (in South Africa) this fall. If you believe in lifelong learning and would like to help me finish this project, then please donate whatever you can. Every penny helps!

I met a wonderful man online last summer and we fell in love quickly. He lives in Africa and I live in Europe, so we haven't had the chance to physically meet just yet. As it is impossible for him to get a visa without financial support, our plan was for me to travel over there for Christmas. We would have gotten married, so he could have come back with me and we could finally be together. Unfortunately, at the end of September, I lost my job and haven't been able to find another one yet. I am a single mother and since I didn't have any savings, our only plan was destroyed. Now we can only communicate by email.

I know he is the love of my life and being so powerless about being together is heart-breaking. If you once lost your love because of something you had no power over, you will understand where I am coming from.

The cost of travel is around 1,000 EUR. If you could help with the smallest contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. Please help bring us together for our happily ever after!

Thank you,
Susan

I have not seen my family in South Africa for over 4 years. My mom and dad, sister and two brothers and their families. Airline tickets have gone up in price tremendously since I last visited them. My sister's daughter is getting married in December 2012 and we would love to attend the wedding. Please help.

I'M BURNETT MAY,FROM SOUTH AFRICA. I'M IN NEED OF SUM MONEY TO PAY MY BILLS, I'M REALLY STRUGLING TO GET BY.

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP.

Hi, I am a 49 year old man. I am from South Africa. I have some health problems and is not working. My wife works for a small salary that is not nearly enough to pay for everything. Since the recession everything has become very expensive, including food. The bills just keep on piling up. There is school fees to pay, clothes to buy and most important, food to buy. My rent is a couple of months in arrears, luckily the landlord is understanding. As work is very scarce for people without afterschool studies my eldest daughter must also start studying in order to get a decent job, more expenses.
I beg from you, PLEASE, PLEASE help. Every little bit you can spare will help.

Hi, this is the first time I have cyber begged and would appreciate any help that can be given to me.

I am South African but live in the United Kingdom. I would love to go and visit my parents who are still in South Africa but I am finding it hard to save the money in these economic times. My parents are in their early 70's and I feel that I should see them sooner rather than later. I would like to mention that my parents are not ill and neither am I.

The cost for flights are just slightly over £1,000 or $1,600. I am almost halfway there - saved £458 so far.

I would appreciate any help that are given to me whether it is just £0.01 or more. I promise to email anybody pictures that would like to see the reunion. I am hoping to have saved enough by November of this year.

Thank you for looking and even if you don't donate thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hi, My name is Rob. I am a Scot by birth. I have been stuck in South Africa with my wife and 5 yr old son since 2006. We met while working for the same company and after 2 good years together in Scotland decided to marry. Our original plan was to come to SA to get married. My wife’s family is all from here and it was too costly for them to travel to the UK. Besides, the weather is far better for a wedding here. The currency was also very favorable.
After we were married we looked round and decided to give “the new South Africa” a chance. What a mistake that has turned out to be! The work situation for white people only held out until 2009. I am a self employed builder and carpenter with some 12 years experience and many successful projects to my name. My wife Lee is hunting for a job at present, she was retrenched in December. Due to the fact that we have legislation here in SA that denotes which jobs can be given to whites and which have to be given to non-whites. Here I fall into problematic territory. There are practically no jobs that I can even apply for! We have been surviving on small jobs to keep money coming in, however the situation for whites here is getting worse. As a sole trader I am unable to apply for tenders, quotes etc. This makes finding profitable jobs almost impossible. The jobs that come in usually get me around 100 rand per day (equivalent to 20 US dollars per day). It is barely enough to feed the three of us. Food prices are rising rapidly here. We are getting nowhere! The downturn here made short work of what savings we had. The only saving grace has been that we have stayed out of debt. I honestly don’t know how much longer we can stay that way.
You may be wondering where all of this is leading to, let me explain. We have applied for many jobs in the UK over the last 2 years. We have been accepted for several positions with included accomodation. As a UK citizen I can return with my family and work there. However, We cannot get enough money together to relocate the three of us back to the UK! Our target is 5000 US dollars. This will allow my family and I to get flights with some left over to see to emergencies. (with a five year old you never know!!!)
Any donation is most appreciated by the three of us.

Hi, I am from South Africa. I am the proud father of three beautiful children. I am on early pension. I have a medical problem that causes all my muscles to detoriate. I please need your help!
My eldest daughter wants to become a commercial pilot. It is a course that is very expensive for me. $35,000 USD to be exact.
My son(now 16) wants to become a professional photographer when he finishes school. He needs to start building a portfolio to present when he enrolls for photography at the collegge after he finishes school. He needs a professional camera to help him building his portfolio. Please help!
As only my wife is working now things are a bit tough at home as well.We struggle to make ends meet.
We would really appreciate all the help we can get.
Any donation will help.
Thank you.
God bless.
