Endurance paddle planned Charitable feat could wind up in record books
Posted by kieubanks on 2012-04-02 21:58:06
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.
âBefore he passed, he asked to make sure his mother and brother were taken care of,â 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.
Banksâ 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 doesnât have much gliding ability, so every stroke will count.
While Banksâ 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 âlongest nonstop time period for a single person kayaking.â
The recognition would be subject to correct and exhaustive documentation, Banks said.
Want to help?
What: Kayak Marco 24
Who: Steven Banks will spend 24 hours paddling around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano
When: April 20-21
Where: Start and finish points are 1 p.m. at the Snook Inn.
Motive: Charitable
Donations: Visit dreamlandertours.com or call 240-2117. By mail, make checks out to Kayak Marco 24 and send to:

Help me to buy food !
Posted by Aristides85 on 2012-02-02 22:58:00
My country (as you probably know )is in crisis from 2009 , but this year is the most difficult for Greek people !!!
Government wants from us to pay again and again and every time ask for more with taxes but the same time 20% of Greeks are unemployment and probably this rate will be more than 20% by the end of 2012 !
Even these who have jobs they reserve the minimum from their jobs (about 600 euro and the bill for a small apartment in Greece is about 500 euro per month and most of the jobs are part time so that means about 300 euro per month ...... so imagine a family with 1 or 2 kids ....),
I am within this 20% no job and lot of things to pay for ! The most important is that due to this situation I can not by food any more so I am waiting for my last supplies of food to end and then nothing ...just nothing without job I will be no longer available to go and buy something to eat !
Please help me by giving me any amount of money you want just to buy some food until I can find a job !!! even my internet connection is a wifi from my neighbor...
I really wish to leave this country but even this needs money .... we are like prisoners in Greece with the illusion of freedom ....
...Please....

Hi, and thank you for reading my plea :)
Last year I was declared permanently disabled by my doctor. ( I was on short term disability before that at work but they cut me off at 4 months instead of the year my seniority had earned). This sudden cutoff started my financial downfall into a spin. My job didn't "fire" me or "let me go", they just kept me active (out for medical issues), until I was no longer able to qualify for unemployment. If I had quit, then I would not have received any medical benefits any longer! In the mean time, I started the Social Security process, (which also does not allow unemployment claims) well. it takes 2 years to even see a judge, but somehow I am supposed to survive with no income until then! Ahhh but you are not allowed to work because then the judge feels you shouldn't be filing....( I mean, I am willing to lick stamps or something!) but strangely enough - I would be allowed (if doctor permitted something) AFTER I am approved, up to a certain amount of money. Whacked, right? So, here I am. I am supposed to see the doctor at least once a month for court purposes, but they don't really say how you are supposed to be able to afford to see him, if you can't have any income! My family has been so awesome helping me the best they can, but my parents are in a fixed income and elderly...my sisters have full families and their own struggles. I am so frustrated, I am not used to feeling like I can't take care of myself! I am sure you realize what kind of financial things I need help with..basic living. I am allowed to have food stamps - so thank goodness for that. I need assistance please with things like electricity, water, garbage, doctor, medication and gas for my car occasionally to get to the Dr...I do not have TV (about 1 1/2 years now) as it is a luxury, my parents offered to pay for my internet connection, which I am extremely grateful for...this is how I am able to post to all of you. I feel so weird posting this, and yes it is a bit humiliating. But I cannot stand to see my family go down the tubes because of what happened to me! Please consider helping me in anyway that you can. I have always helped others my entire life and I promise i will continue to do so as I can, can't help it - it is in my bones! LOL

Sixty Days In The Dark, and Counting...
Posted by triniblues30 on 2011-07-16 14:58:46
A few of my family members know that I don't have electricity; and one trusted co-worker at my job. But it's the secret shame I'm only allowed to grieve about when I walk out the doors of my job every day. The extra daylight of Summer delays the depression that sets in inside a dark apartment. I sit in my recliner next the the window in my living room, in front of a television I can't turn on. My radio and my cell phone is my only connection to what's going on on the outside. As the heat index creeps into the 90's, it's harder and harder for me to get the rest I need to be ready for work the next day. It's hard to keep my motivation up to keep getting out of bed to go to a job that won't get this $6,000.00 monkey off my back.
In my lowest moments I think about how this all came to be. I was trying to do a good deed. PECO Energy turned off my cousin's electric. So I turned it on in my name. I was so naive... so trusting... I was paying rent. I thought she was paying the bill. I never once questioned it. Isn't that what people do? They pay bills right? I never once questioned it. I never imagined that I could be burned this way by the people I trusted the most; my family.
PECO Energy had every reason why they couldn't work with me. with a rent of $700.00 a month and an income of $21,000 a year, I was told by every public assistance program that I make too much money. It's expensive to eat out, so most of my income is absorbed with rent and food. I will be starting college in August and I have no electricity to do my homework.
To say that I need help is an understatement. This is a heartfelt plea to anyone out there who has ever wanted more for their life; and for anyone who was ever drowning and someone grabbed their hand to pull them up. I really need some help. My bill is $6,000.00. Whatever you can donate, no matter how small will be the miracle I need to turn this thing around. Opening up this dialog has been one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. I want to thank all of you who read this and decide to be the difference.

Please help. Laid off Single Mom; Unable to find work
Posted by mfinch on 2011-07-08 08:58:59
Now, I am 34 and at the lowest point of my life. As I write, I am at the library, as I have no Internet connection at home - wherever that is most days. Each and every day is a struggle in this economy and have been seeking employment since I was laid off from my job November 2010 and was subsequently denied unemployment (technical glitch, I suppose).
Since then, I have applied for a myriad of jobs from McDonald's to administrative positions. Yes, I have landed a few interviews, but no call backs due to saturation levels of job seekers applying for the very same jobs I could so easily procure in years past. It use to be that I could find a job at the drop of a hat. Now, I am oddly lucky if I land an interview.
So why am I here? Because, to be frank, I am desperate. My home is in foreclosure. My gas has been turned off (I owe them $500). Without gas to cook or heat our water, we have little use for the house. We have sold what we had of any value to bring in a bit of money. The people (friends and family) who were able to help me before either can no longer help or are unwilling to do so. They have given up hope, and I am almost there, myself. This month, I have no idea how I will pay my car payment. I only owe $4,000 on it. I pay $234 a month. I bought it at $22,000. I have no income, and so, no bills get paid unless a friend is able to help me that month. We need transportation.
I have an eleven year old daughter. She has been a real trooper through all of this. I love her dearly and she knows I would do anything for her. I do what I can to take care of her. She always gets what she needs before I get anything. I am trying hard not to lose her. I have already lost one daughter due to this situation.
When I lost my job in November, I was 3 months pregnant. In April, when she was born, I thought I would have a job by then, but was forced to give her up for adoption since I was unable to care for her and no one around me was able to take her. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I had to make sure she was cared for and given a chance at a happy life rather than one of struggle. I do not want to lose my older daughter, too, but without my home, I certainly will. I simply have no place to go. I would have loved being mommy to two girls. I miss her so much. I will always have an empty space in my heart only she can fill. I only find comfort in the fact that I know she is safe and well cared for, and loved.
What about child support? That is a whole different story, but my daughter's father is attempting to terminate support on the basis that he has bills to pay, "other" children to support and a fiancee. The $50 per week he has been forced to pay is simply gone before it hits the card. Gas is expensive. So are clothes. So are hygiene products. My daughter needs things. I don't mean gadgets. I mean shelter, transportation, clothing.
Do I have a plan? Yes. I am actively seeking employment. I am $9,000 behind on the mortgage. Without my home, we are on the streets. If I cannot pay my car, I cannot sleep in my car. I am attempting to avoid living in either my car or on the street. I cannot get public housing or section 8 as the waiting list is over a year long wait. When I call the homeless shelter, the beds are always full with a waiting list. I cannot go to the YMCA since I am not a druggie or alcoholic and I am not in a domestic violence relationship. So, in the meantime, I have let go of my pride, humbled myself and decided to seek the help of others through donations. School will be starting soon. I need to buy my daughter clothes for school. I need to be able to provide her shelter.
My list of bills is short. The ones that matter, anyway. I have a $234 car payment, $55 for my cell phone (I have to be reached somehow), $75 for car insurance, and spend about $80 a week for fuel. I was notified yesterday that my home is in active foreclosure and am awaiting my court date. I need $100 for a truck to move my belongings and $75 to procure a storage room the first month and $65 a month, thereafter.
Please, if you are able to donate, I am desperate. I will be posting each week the amounts of money that may be donated, even if that number is zero. I will also post what the money has been used for and when I get a job, and no longer need assistance, I will cease to seek them. I will pay it forward when I am able as I know I am not the only one is this situation.

How I'll Become Homeless...
Posted by VFowler on 2011-04-06 19:58:46
I'm pretty sure nobody reads these things, but this is my last shot at doing something for myself and getting out of the rut that will inevitably leave me homeless in one month. Here's a story that shows just how terrible gaming addictions can become and how much harder it is to dig yourself out of a hole that only deepens by the day with no hope of escape.
In 2007, I began playing World of Warcraft on my crappy laptop (which at the time had been a great piece of machinery). It started out innocently enough. I had real life friends who played the game and I'd wanted to know what it was all about so I bought and installed it. I was instantly hooked in the world, and made some friends that I talk with even to this day. I went through several guilds before I finally found the one I thought I would enjoy. I began spending endless amounts of time in the game, engrossing myself in it. I quit all of my outside activities and all of my hobbies revolved around getting in the game and playing it until the wee hours of the morning. I would come to work sleepy and dislike everyone around me. After the first two years I fell into an odd depression that could only be quelled by, what I thought, was WoW. By the time 2010 rolled around I had been living in four different places IRL, bumming from one place to the other in order to have more game time. I hadn't had a job, I hadn't even looked for one.
Eventually, in September of 2010, I'd had enough. While I want to blame the game for everything wrong I've done in my life, I can only blame myself for letting it get so bad. I could have shut it off at any time, but I didn't. I could have listened to everyone who told me what I was turning into, but I hadn't. My parents had driven from Illinois to Cleveland, Ohio to bring me back home. It was the opening for a new beginning that I thought would get me back on the path of redemption... but it was only the start of a larger nightmare. Between an internet addiction and an unquenchable withdraw from a lack of a game I could no longer play for fear of losing the roof over my head, I managed to find a job at a local gas station.. but that wasn't enough for my parents. They held my misgivings over my head constantly and for every one thing I did right, twenty things were wrong. After I forgot to do the dishes for the fourth time that month, my internet connection had been taken away.
Instead of taking this as a queue to get away and start my life anew, I fell deeper into depression. Withdraw took over and I used the library computers for an hour or two a day before I went to work to keep in touch with the friends I'd been cut off from. Eventually I'd put enough money together to get my own internet connection and had told my father that the Comcast guys were going to come over to install it. He'd been fine with it though knew my mother would throw a fit. A week later, the internet guys installed my box and left. The internet worked for an hour then shot out. When I told my father that the guys had to come back to re-install whatever they had forgotten to do, he'd thrown a fit about people "drilling holes in his wall, and walking into HIS home", and refused to acknowledge that I'd ever had the conversation with him in the first place. This sent me into a panic attack that ended in a night of hospitalization.
While I was in the hospital I had told the doctor while in tears that I didn't wish to see my parents while I was being treated because they were the reason I was in the situation I was in. While they had not physically harmed me, I was in no mental state to deal with their accusations anymore (which my father had yelled and argued with me the entire way to the hospital already). When they'd finally discharged me, I had found out that I had been abandoned at the hospital with no way home; I'd called a good friend to take me home.
The next day, I was told via text that I was no longer welcome in my parents' home.
While trying with everything I could not to lose my mind for a second time, I made as many phone calls as I could. Nobody could help me. Finally, my sister had offered me a place to stay in her friends' dorm room for a day or two just to make sure that I wasn't left on the street. As if by an act of God, an old friend from high school came into my life and offered me a place at his dorm room until I was able to get back on my feet. I now live two hours away from where "home" used to be, and am typing from my computer here. I had to leave the only stable job I'd had in 2 years to come here and getting back on my feet is proving harder than I could've ever imagined. I've had job interviews with no luck and I don't have enough money to put a down payment on an apartment in the area. If I don't find a solution by May 1st, I -will- be homeless.
I wish I could blame everything I've done on my gaming, and the internet, but as said before, it was my own stupidity that has landed me in this situation. Mental addictions are harder to break than physical ones and even now, 6 months after quitting World of Warcraft, every part of me still wants to go back to it, to get back the comfort of living in another world that it used to give me. The only thing that seems to break the feeling and keep it down is a cigarette; cheapest pack available, mind you. The point I'm trying to make is that gaming addictions can be dangerous, all consuming, and deadly. Someday I may write a paper on all the effects of letting yourself succumb to the beautiful world of anonymity and pixels... but here isn't the place to do that.
This is my last ditch effort to get out of the hole I've dug myself into. Today I offer you my heart and soul, and everything I have left that (Thank God) hasn't disintegrated along with everything else I used to be good at.
Thanks for reading. Hope you guys have a fantastic rest of your week.

Japan earthquake and tsunami: How to help
Posted by lucycampbell on 2011-03-12 16:58:03
Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters, such as when Hurricane Katrina impacted the United States. Below are organizations that are working on relief and recovery in the region.
AMERICAN RED CROSS: Emergency Operation Centers are opened in the affected areas and staffed by the chapters. This disaster is on a scale larger than the Japanese Red Cross can typically manage. Donations to the American Red Cross can be allocated for the International Disaster Relief Fund, which then deploys to the region to help. Donate here.
GLOBALGIVING: Established a fund to disburse donations to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami.
SAVE THE CHILDREN: Mobilizing to provide immediate humanitarian relief in the shape of emergency health care and provision of non-food items and shelter.
SALVATION ARMY: The Salvation Army has been in Japan since 1895 and is currently providing emergency assistance to those in need.
AMERICARES: Emergency team is on full alert, mobilizing resources and dispatching an emergency response manager to the region.
CONVOY OF HOPE: Disaster Response team established connection with in-country partners who have been impacted by the damage and are identifying the needs and areas where Convoy of Hope may be of the greatest assistance.
INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CORPS: Putting together relief teams, as well as supplies, and are in contact with partners in Japan and other affected countries to assess needs and coordinate our activities.
SHELTER BOX: The first team is mobilizing to head to Japan and begin the response effort.
Donate here: https://www.networkforgood.org/Donation/MakeDonation.aspx
Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami
Your gift to the American Red Cross will support our disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.
