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 didnt know these type of websites existed until today. I'm not good at asking for help and to be honest, I don't really feel that great about doing this, but at this point, I don't really know what else to do. And now, my story: I am a thirty year old single mother of a nine year old little boy, who both works and goes to school full-time. Last semester I was denied financial aid due to the fact that my completion rate was not satisfactory. Taking a semester off was not going to do me any good, so I paid for my classes out of pocket. I knew it was going to be tough and thought that I would be ok. Well, I was very wrong. Life gets messy and complicated and never really works out the way we plan. My car needed work, my son needed glasses, he got pink eye and we both got strep throat. I also just started a new job and dont have insurance (I couldnt afford the $400.00/month COBRA payment from my previous employer). Everything just kind of seemed to happen at once and I fell behind in every financial aspect. In an attempt to recover from this, I reluctantly got a Payday Loan. Well..if any of you have ever done this, you know what a evil perputal cycle it becomes. I got loans to cover bills, and then got loans to cover loans..and now, I'm drowning in them! I have six at this moment all for varying amounts, my checking is negative and I am still behind on half of my bills. I dont feel like there is an end to this. I would get another job if I could, but with work, school and my son, I barely have time to sleep. I dont get child support as my sons father aquired a nasty meth addiction and ended up in prison and my family is struggling almost as badly as I am right now. I take responsibility for my bad choices and I'm not asking someone to completley bail me out. I won't even tell you how much my debt actually is. I just need a little help here..thats all. Thanks!

Hi there...
The whole idea of asking for money makes me sick to my stomach. I have never been a beggar or a person who wanted charity. But I honestly have no other choice anymore.
My story starts in 2009 with my ex girlfriend, whom would turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to me. I'm not going to play the blame game, because I have forgiven her since. However I am left with the lasting damage of that relationship.
We had dated when we were young, she had cheated with a friend and I had left her, but i always loved her most of all and was eventually able to forgive her later. I was a fool for love. This is where the trouble starts, we had begun to talk again in early 2009, and soon a relationship developed between us once again. By this time she had a daughter who was 7 years old. I moved to another state to be with her and her daughter, after awhile I loved her daughter as my own child. I took her fishing with me every chance I had. I did not realize it before I had went down there, but her family was a real problem. They took to controlling every aspect of her life, even going as far as taking her mail out of her mail box and reading it. From the very start I has hated, I could not be controlled or told what to do, though they tried. Later in the year I was working and I thought things had improved, they grudgingly accepted me.

I am not a cruel or an evil person, I am always firm but loving when it comes to discipline. There had started to be problems at school and home, with tantrums, and destructive behavior. My ex and I talked about it and we tried everything, nothing seemed to work save simple old fashioned spanking. When she threw a tantrum one day and wrote that she hated us and left it on a note where we would surely find it, and broke her own window in her room. I knew something had to be done, this was totally unacceptable. So I spanked her, not hard or vicious like i got when i was a boy. But just my hand. I left a red mark, not welts or bruises a red mark. Of course being a little girl, she tended to talk and tell everyone EVERYTHING. She told her grandmother about it, and that was it for me, suddenly i was this horrible terrible person. My ex and I quarreled about it a great deal and I left for awhile just to get my head around things and see if it was worth saving.

I decided to leave, and I went home back to indiana where i was from, I left with a broken heart, but i knew the situation couldn't be fixed.
There were other things going on at the time I did not become aware of until later, one was that my ex was pregnant. She later admitted to me that she had been smoking while pregnant, drinking, taking more and more prescriptions, and when she finally told me about it she told me she was glad she had miscarried.
I have never forgotten that statment.
Now here is where the real trouble begins and why I am in such desperate need.
The child told her teacher, and child services became involved, as they always do and will for any reason.
Eventually it got turned over to the sheriff's office to see what they wanted to do with it. Now enters the grandparents into the equation.
The pushed it hard even against my ex's wishes, and managed to get them to file charges for child abuse and issue a warrant. A warrant I didnt even know i had until christmas time 2010. I was picked up and detained for extradition over it. The following monday I was released, I was informed that they didnt want to come get me. I called my ex, and she told me that she had told them to drop it, we talked and talked, she begged me to forgive her for all that happened, and eventually i did, for some reason I still felt like i couldnt live without her. So we continued to talk up until july of 2010. When something happened, grandmother got curious wondering what these numbers were on the cell phone bill. She confronted my ex and she told her that she had talked to me. Ever since that point I have this "open case" listed publically on my record. After about 10 interviews I discovered that was the reason I couldn't have a job. Who would want to hire a "child abuser" anyway? Here it is febuary its been about 8 months without work. I lost my place, and nearly everything i own, I even lost the will to live. I live with my parents now, and I know im a burden to them. I'm thinking about it everyday. It is tax refund time now, and I have half of what I need for my lawyer to try and fix this horrible mess. He is of the almost certain opinion this will be completely dropped, and I can have a job again, and recover somewhat of a life. If you can help please help, I am a desperate man, and I want my life back, I need it back, I cant take not being able to work, and being a burden to my parents who are dirt poor!

After 19+ years of marriage, I divorced just over 1 year ago. My ex-husband & I have 2 children; a high school senior & a college sophomore. During our kids' early years, my ex-husband's salary allowed me to be a stay-at-home mom, which I loved. His employment involved extensive travel & many moves; 8 moves in 19 years. I supported the moves & the job changes, including a failed franchise in which we lost over $150,000. I earn $25,000/year; he earns approximately 6 times more; however, the divorce settlement saddled me with $60,000 of credit card & loan debt. I was emotionally drained, out of money & agreed to the terms. He is 16 years my senior & near retirement. A prenuptial agreement bars me from any of his retirement. He earned the money, and I am not bitter about the retirement aspect. I have stopped paying the credit card & loan payments as rent & car payment are more important. His girlfriend is a wealthy widow with 3 homes & a Lexus. I don't want to file bankruptcy, but I believe that's my only option. I do not have a college degree. I have a good job with good health benefits. I work for the state of WI, have not had a raise in 3+ years and do not see a raise in the near future. I have taken on a 2nd job. I have no need for vacations or material possessions; I do want is to live a life where I am not afraid to answer the phone for fear that caller is a creditor. I would also like to contribute to our children’s college education. I sincerely thank you for your time.

I am not the daughter referred to in the title of my post. She is much too proud to beg for anything. I am her boyfriend and I am the one she talks to every night as she cries herself to sleep. I do not wish to be overdramatic in attempts to get money but this is truly what happens each night and it breaks my heart to see her in such pain, what is worse is that I can do nothing to help her accept provide her with comfort.
Her name is Lindsey Hill and all she wants to do is go to college and leave her parent's nest. Her parents have told her that God has told them that she shouldn't be leaving home. They want her to remain in her hometown and go to the local JC. She has lived in her hometown for the last 18 years of her life. Everyone she knew has moved on with their lives and moved out. She was very depressed while living in her home town and does not want to return to live under her parent’s roof where they set strict rules and regulations on everything she does and everywhere she goes.
Because her parents have decreed that their intentions are the will of God they see what they want as absolute truth, therefore they have begun sabotaging every aspect of her financial life in order to prove themselves, and their ultimatums, right and just and get her back home. They have stopped paying for everything. Insurance, phone bills, living expenses, everything. She is 18 and away from home for the first time in her life in a big city and is completely and utterly financially independent. She has worked hard to keep her head above water since she has moved. She even moved down before she could get a job lined up which was a necessity and almost put her on the streets. She is barely getting enough hours at her job to keep a roof over her head. She rents a small bedroom and her dream of going to college to pursue higher education is completely out of the question for her financially.
Her parents say that she has to choose between living a life of sin and labor without education where she is at, or listening to God and coming back to the light. They want her to live with them and go to the local JC or else, they threaten, she will become just like her "messed up" sister who moved out a few years earlier and is now underemployed with no hope of going to school. Her sister left because she couldn't handle living under her parent's insane household. She is a beautiful and brilliant girl but is stuck in a rut in her life due to a lack of support from her parents. She makes enough money to live in a small home and has no intentions of being able to pay for college. Lindsey loves her sister but has big dreams and an amazing head on her shoulders; she does not want her lifestyle to end up like her sister’s.
Her parents will continue to do whatever they can to get their daughter on the streets including guilt tripping her for not visiting but refusing to help her pay for the $200 gas bill that it takes for her to make the trip.
I am not saying that religious people are all crazy. I, myself, am a Christian who studies his bible weekly and is often at church. That is actually how Lindsey and I met. We both try to live Christian lifestyles and we often encourage each other in our faith.
She is a brilliant girl. Only 18 and is exceedingly bright, fiercely compassionate, and a relentlessly hard worker. She is already getting raises at her competitive job but hates it there with a searing passion. She wants to go to school and have a better future but she cannot find any support from her parents. God is telling them to tear her down and bring her back to the nest by any means necessary (of course this is not how they see things) All I know is that these folks desperately need to learn a lesson or they will lead very bitter lives without the company of their amazing daughter. I don’t want that future for any of them!
I do not claim to know the will of God but the one thing he tells me in my heart as I pray is that what Lindsey's parents are doing to her is wrong. Please help me to provide a better future for my beautiful Lindsey. I feel powerless and I want to give her the world. Her parents believe that their will matches Gods and is absolute truth and I need anyone's help to counter this ignorant assault on the future of an amazing woman who is just trying to live her life after spending 18 years in a town she hates with people she is finding it increasingly hard to appreciate. Please help Lindsey go to college.

Please help a struggling student trying to take control of student loans and be in control of life once again. We all want the American dream of owning a home with a white picket fence in the suburbs, while raising a family comfortably. We are told throughout high school and in almost every aspect of society (i.e. television commercials and bill boards) that the only way to achieve this dream is to go to school and earn a degree. Well long story short, while trying to grab my piece of apple pie I acquired an enormous mountain of debt (to the tune of 34K). I was also forced to leave the college that I was attending after just one year because tuition became just too expensive! This debt has followed me like a dark cloud and has become a burden to my young life. Even though the thought of having such a large amount of debt at such a young age is stressful I have continued to keep trying. I have not let it stop me, but it has tremendously slowed my pace to achieve my dream. I’m currently enrolled in junior college but due to the fact I am solely dependent on financial aid my journey is a rough one. I have tried to pay on these loans but with little to no experience my job pool is more like a puddle. The money that I made was just not enough and I feel that I’m in deep trouble. So if you’re reading this please find it in your heart to help a student in need of a fighting chance against my battle with student loans. I’m not asking for much anything will help me win this fight.
Thank you-
Struggling Student

My husband and I got married 3 years ago, when I was 22. I never expected what was going to happen 3 months later. My husband was diagnosed with a dehibilitating illness that made it impossible for him to work, to feed himself, and clothe himself. I was left to do everything; which is okay with me...except for the whole financial aspect. I have to take care of my husband, work 40 hours a week, and go to school taking 19 units a semester so I can ensure a better future for us. I have 1,000s of dollars in medical bills and other related expenses and no matter how hard I work or how many shifts I pick up I cannot get ahead. I need some help, desperately. I would appreciate any sort of donation you can afford. It would be an amazing relief and burdon off of my shoulders if I could finally get ahead and get past this crisis. I would be eternally grateful. Thank you so much for your consideration.

I am middle aged & never thought I would be in this situation. My unemployment expired last year & I've struggled to maintain some semblance of a normal life. I've streamlined every aspect of my life & returned to school by taking out loans to get a paralegal certificate. It was difficult but I managed to get a 3.7 GPA at UMASS. I can't get financial aid in the summer & I'd like to take one course to get me closer to my goal. I still use dial up on my pc because I can't afford broadband. I am 2 months behind on my phone bill as well as my rent. I buy minimal groceries & have paid off 3 credit cards from my unemployment. I am trying & had an interview last week but it is very difficult with age discrimination to find work. All I need is ONE job and I will dig myself out of this whole but I can't get a break. The course would cost $1080 which includes rgistration fee. I hate doing this more than I can express but I've found over the last few years that there are many things I never thought I would do & now find that I must if I want to survive this never ending crisis.

In June my husband's and mine 10 year wedding aniversary is coming up. I would love to take my husband somewhere special because he had made these past ten years smashing. He deserves a break from our usual jobs of work, raising our three kids and just our stressful life. I thought maybe this wil get us a trip to show him he is not only special to me but its an important aspect our family of five. I hope you can help me accomplish this goal. Thanks. Make it a Great Day.

To Whom This May Concern,

I am a 51 year old man who has never asked for help from anyone before. I am only doing this because I love my family and as a last resort. My family has no idea I have posted this at this time.

My Situation:

I am married to a wonderful woman who has two children. (My step children). She does receive $117.00 a week in support. That is her only income as she is not working due to spinal injuries. She has already had a spine fusion and will have another operation soon as she still has spinal issues not dealt with yet.

My health is not optimal. I was diagnosed with Diabetes in 1989. I had a heart attack in 2000 and had a stent put into my left circumflex artery. In 2005 I had triple bypass heart surgery, Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes run in my family. I do not have health insurance right now and so I have not been able to see a doctor for my conditions in a couple of years now. I should be on two types of insulin, long-acting and short-acting. I should also be on medications for my heart, blood pressure and cholesterol. I can not afford these so I haven't even bothered to try and get scripts for them. I fear that this is beginning to catch up with me.

As I said my wife is not working right now. I am currently driving a cab and I am also trying to find a new job, but do to my health I have been working less and less. Also the economy & fuel prices have basically taken a big bite out of the cab industry. Very long hours for very little pay.

I also have two children of my own ages 21 and 20. I am very active in their lives and always have been. I still pay child support to their mother as I went into arrears due to the heart attack in 2000 and the triple bypass in 2005. I currently have a payment arrangement with the courts to pay this off over a period of time.

Here is my request. The bottom line is I do not make enough money to support my family(s) anymore. I am hoping that through this post two things could happen.

1. I am hoping that through this post enough people will see it in their hearts to help my family and I out through some donations.

2. I am hoping that maybe someone out there will read this and possibly have a job opportunity that will enable me to provide for my family in the way I would like to.

The following is a run down of my qualifications and work skills.

First I have a very high work ethic. I am very dependable and dedicated.

I am highly experienced in the customer service industry with experience successfully working under high call volumes, meeting and exceeding performance matrixes utilizing various tools, software and other techniques.

Over the years I have worked as a customer service representative, team leader, escalation representative and supervisor.

I have also worked in technical support of cable, internet and telephony.

I have also worked in the paratransit industry as a driver, scheduler, dispatcher and operations manager.

I have provided customer service in the following capacities:

• Setup of new customer accounts.
• Resolution and helping customers understand billing issues.
• New sales and upselling of services and products.
• Technical support for products and services.

I have worked with the following operating systems and software packages:

• DOS, Windows 3.x, 95, 98, ME, XP, NT, Vista and 7, MAC OS, Unix, Linux
• MS Office, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Frontpage and Outlook
• FileMaker Pro
• Aspect
• Avaya
• Siebel CRM
• ACSR
• Cable Data

I also have the following skills. HTML, CSS, PHP (Intermediate Abilities.)

In closing, whether or not you choose to help, thank you for taking the time to read this. Although, not a religious man by any means, I do believe in GOD and with that say to you, God Bless.

I am a 53-year-old divorced mom of two teenagers who is struggling to find work, keep my home, and pay my bills. 2010 has been the most difficult year of my life, as I have had to deal with three major sources of stress all at the same time. The first one (financial) actually began in April 2009 when I injured my right hand in a table saw accident which required hand surgery (almost $5000, which I am still paying off) and prevented me from being able to work for a couple of months. (I am self-employed and do minor home remodeling, as well as decluttering and organizing.) I got behind on all of my bills (two mortgages, medical bills and credit cards) and have been within days of my home being foreclosed upon on three different occasions since then. I have worked really hard to market myself and find enough work to get caught back up, working 10-12 hours a day six days a week when I had enough work to do so. This past May I finally managed to get completely caught up on all my bills, which was a tremendous relief.

Throughout this time, both of my teenagers were living with me and since January I had been doing everything I could to help my 19-year-old son get into the Marines, as I felt it was the only thing that could get him back on the right track in life. I knew he had been drinking, smoking pot and doing some drugs throughout his high school years, but had no idea at the time how bad it was, so I ended up wasting six months taking him to work out with the Marines at the recruiting office five days a week in addition to many other Marine-related things. The last week of June, about a week after he failed his drug test at his Marine physical, I discovered that he had stolen several hundred dollars from my bank account. The next five weeks were utter hell. I managed to get him to admit to me that he was addicted to heroin. We have a tremendous problem where we live with teenagers getting hooked on OxyContin and then switching to heroin (both opiates) because it is about 1/10th the cost of OxyContin. Thank God, my son is scared to death of needles and never injected it (he was smoking five balloons of black-tar heroin a day). If you have lived with a drug addict, you know how it affects every single aspect of your life. Drug addicts are liars, thieves and master manipulators. They can’t help it because their brains have been hijacked by the drug and it is as though they are possessed. The only thing they can think about is how to get more drugs. My sweet, sensitive, smart, funny, loving boy was gone. You cannot reason with an addict and you cannot trust anything they say or do. It is the most unbelievably stress-inducing experience you can imagine. Until his father and I managed to get him into an inpatient rehab facility at the end of July, I spent most of my time dealing with him and trying to keep him from stealing everything in my house so he could either pawn it to get money for drugs or give the items to his drug dealer in exchange for drugs. Among many other things (I could type pages about just those five weeks of all the hell we went through), I had to buy my iPod back from his drug dealer after I discovered it was missing. During those five weeks, my son overdosed once and ended up in the hospital (this happened about a week after I kicked him out of my house). He had no place to go and I was scared to death he would die living on the streets, so I let him sleep on the hammock in my back yard (after I went looking for him and found him stumbling down a sidewalk in a heroin stupor) until he went to rehab (which he had been adamantly fighting against for the prior month) four days later. Because I was only able to work a few days during this period of time and had to spend almost $800 on repairs to my 16-year-old car, I got behind on all my bills again. I have been able to find an average of about 20 hours of work a week since then, so have fallen even further behind. I have been looking for a “real job” for months, without success so far.

Finally – the third source of major stress in my life this year. The love of my life, whom I had been with for 6+ years, ended our relationship in January. We grew up in the same town, went to jr. high and high school together, and I was head-over-heels over him then. We dated after high school, but he was too shy at the time to ask me to marry him, which I later found out he had wanted to do. After 25 years of not having any contact with each other, we reconnected almost seven years ago and it was as though we had never been apart. We were unable to marry at that time because we live in neighboring states and my two children were 11 and 12 then and my ex would not agree to me moving to Colorado and he was unable to move to my state because of his business. I have virtually put my life on hold career-wise for the past seven years, knowing that when my youngest turned 18, I would be moving to Colorado, and so I could have the flexibility in my schedule to make trips to see him every one to two months. Four months before her 18th birthday, he ended our relationship (which was a complete shock; I thought everything was great between us). Needless to say, on top of everything else, this has been very devastating and I am just now beginning to come to terms with the fact that my future with him that I had been working towards and looking forward to all this time is gone, besides dealing with the immense pain of a broken heart. I have felt utterly lost and alone, and very very sad. My wonderful 18-year-old daughter moved out of the house almost three months ago, so it has been kind of hard being in an empty house since then and not having my best friend to talk to every day on the phone like I had done for six years.

I have recently been working for a married mom of four boys, decluttering and organizing her house. Two days ago she called to tell me she had broken her foot and has to keep it elevated for two weeks, so she wants me to wait until after that before coming back to work. I currently have no other job prospects, am desperately looking for work, and worrying about the fact that I have to make two mortgage payments before the end of this month in order to keep from being over 60 days past due, in addition to being at least that far behind on my other bills. I have about $40 in cash, a quarter-tank of gas in my car, and my bank account is upside down.

I have always been a strong person and a survivor (having grown up with an angry alcoholic father). I have never sought any type of government assistance and never will. I have taken care of myself since age 17 and am a hard worker, so it is very difficult for me to ask for help and I apologize for doing so. I assure you that any money you choose to donate to me will only be used to pay bills, put gas in my car, buy groceries, or other similarly legitimate expenses. Thank you so much for helping me out (if you choose to do so). I am humbly grateful.

Dear Friends,

Our father Mr. Mangaloo Ram, belonging to Bilaspur city in the state of Chhattisgarh in India, is suffering from a very rare disease Mucormycosis. This disease is a fungal infection and affects the sinuses and invades the brain. It is life-threatening and the cost of treatment is highly expensive. He is currently undergoing treatment at Apollo Hospitals, Bilaspur, India.

In our father’s case, it has already invaded the brain. The treatment involves the administration of anti-fungal and antibiotic injections. As I have mentioned, the cost of treatment is very high, which approximately is as high as $1000/day (One thousand dollars per day) and the treatment period ranges from 6 to 8 weeks. We have been getting him treated for the past two weeks. We are left with around $10,000 (Ten Thousand dollars approx.). The only positive thing we see now is that our father’s condition is improving, but the unfortunate aspect is that we are left with resources for a maximum of ten days. Beyond this we will not be able to continue the medication until unless some financial support comes to our rescue.

We need an assistance to treat him for a further period of 5 weeks which will involve a cost of $35,000 (Thirty Five Thousand Dollars), which to us is, at present, beyond imagination. Hence, it is our sincere request to the global fraternity to donate generously towards the treatment of our father. The entire funds received will be spent on his treatment. Surplus funds, if any, would be used to set up a charitable trust which will fund the treatment of the people in need.

We request you to donate not out of sympathy, but with the trust that your money is being spent towards a genuine cause. Those who are unable to contribute financially can contribute by sending their blessings and prayer for the quick recovery of our father.
