I am looking for money to complete a degree program in Speech Language Pathology. I need to finish four courses over the summer to transfer into a four year university in the fall. I'm not looking for much. The tuition is $650.00. The school stated that they do not provide financial aid during the summer which is why I need assistance. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am unable to work full-time to recieve tuition reimbursement, etc. from a job

First of all I am not asking help for myself but for a friend whom Ive never seen but know her through the Internet. She lives in an eastern European country and she is gay. By the time she came out she already was married and had two georgeous and smart kids. I can imagine how confused she must have been and how hard must have been the decision for her to pick up the courage and come out. Of course this meant a divorce and her ex- husband ( pride and ego bruised because wife left him not for another man but a woman ) is fighting custody for the kids - and not always fair. Also to put it bluntly - he has money and she doesent. She and her partner going through a rough patch - age even posted on her blog that they had to make a decision between to eat or pay the solicitor. Of course they choose the solicitor. Her heart is thorn between her love and her children - she is a mother and has to watch how her ex and his new partner poison her children's mind calling her a faggot/ queer infront of them, telling them she is an abomination and that she is not worth to be loved but she needs to be locked up. She would be able to fight for her children despite this but where she lives it is not accepted to be gay ( ohh not openly no ) and the last time the judge actually voiced her opinion that the children have the right to live in a family which consist of a man and a woman.
I would love to help her to get the funds needed but I'm off on sick leave and have problems on my own ( rent arreas, bad debts as sickness came unexpected and don't have any savings ) that's why I'm asking here whoever can help her please do ( through me or straight to her )
She could be contacted through this blog ( it is in her own language but I guess even through google translate you will get the jist of it )
Or if you think you could help me out as well I would be really grateful
Thank you
Her blog address is: http://andersenhalott.blogspot.co.uk

I am trying to raise money in order to travel and work abroad. It is my dream to try being an English Language Assistant in Spain and France. I have a part-time job but it only offers 15 hours a week and that earns me £100 a week. It goes on my rent and a small amount of debt to clear. I hardly have anything left to save up for my travel dreams. I dream of teaching English in France, Spain and Latin America. But right now I can't even afford a plane ticket. I also want to volunteer in South America. I know there are people much worse off than me, but if you can spare anything to help, I would be forever grateful. I'm 30 and have been utterly lost and depressed in my career so far, and recently have found my purpose and passion - travel, writing, helping people. If you can donate anything at all, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your kindness!

Hi. My name is Kelly, and I'm a 20 year old college student. Currently, I am studying foreign language, and I'd like to be an English teacher in another country someday. At the moment, I'm very short on funds, and I'm terrified I'm going to have to drop out of college if I can't come up with enough money to make it til August, which is when I'll get my next school check. I need money for rent, utilities, and food. I'm about $1,700 short. My number one priority is surviving right now, and I'd really appreciate it if I could get some help with the basic $1,700 I need. Even if it's $5, anything helps. Thank you for your time, and I hope yo have a great day.

HI, I'm a married mum of two, and our family is going through a tough patch. My daughter has a rare neurological condition called Sturge Weber syndrome, which consists of a large Port Wine Birthmark covering two thirds of her face, scalp, and chest, learning difficulties, speech delay, potentially glaucoma in the future. Thankfully she has never had a full seizure that so many SWS children have daily. She started school this year, and we were successful in applying for a Support Teacher and Language Therapist to help her so she could attend mainstream school. When I say successful, I mean we fought all the way !!! This extra teaching she receives means she gets a lot of homework to keep up with the rest of the class, so I went part time at work, so I could pick her up from school, at spend the time concentrating on her homework, etc. so this had a significant effect on our finances. But my husbands business was doing Ok. He and another partner run a small metal work business, just the two of them. However, since October 2011, the work for them has dried up, and there has been several months where they've not had enough business to take home any pay. We also have to take out daughter to a hospital 300 miles away for her laser surgery for the Port Wine Birthmark. The surgery is to lighten the birthmark as much as possible. So far we have seen some good results but she still has some way to go. Unfortunately, these hospital trips cost us quite a bit, by the time we pay for the fuel, overnight stay in hotel and food, etc. If any can spare any amount of cash to help us through this incredibly tough period, I would be so grateful.
Thanks for taking time to read this post.

I recently met the woman of my dreams, accidentally...I wanted a penpal, so that I could practice my Russian (I studied it while in the army) and ended up meeting a wonderful woman. She has no interest in leaving Russia, aside from visiting occasionally (on business - she's an air stewardess) so that means I'm going there. I still don't have my degree, but would like to get my certification to teach English as a second language, but there is no institution in the US, which gives certification in TESEL or a CELTA and is covered by the G.I. Bill.

I have 24,000 of student debt already, and can barely make ends meet. I'm able to save approximately $100 a month, and I'll need about $3,000 in total for the certification. I sold pretty much everything that I don't need (electronics, games, etc...) and came up with about $1100...So that leaves $1,900 still. Any help would be amazing, I love this woman with all of my heart.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for checking out my page. Like everyone on here I'm currently struggling to pay my rent, bills etc and have no money to spare or save. I'm getting married in March to a wonderful Indian man, who lives with me in the UK. His father has recently passed away in India, so his mother will be spending a large proportion of her time staying with us to avoid being alone overseas. My problem is that she speaks little English. I'd love to learn even some basic Hindi phrases to make her feel more at home, but I just can't afford to buy any teach yourself a language at home software. I've some cheaper books which are no help at all. I'd love it if some people could afford to spare a few pounds for me to put towards the Rosetta Stone package to start learning to communicate with my new family.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Kind Regards,

Rachel

I'm a 31 year old male, oh and my 4 year old kitty. Life has not been easy but I always did my best to keep moving forward. From dealing with childhood abuse to climbing the corporate/social latter and falling.. I've always tried to "handle it" and do everything the right way, all on my own and helping everyone I could in anyway I could along the way.

I've worked very hard and instead of being out there in the world stealing or making babies I can't afford I got a good job, car, and bought my first home at age 20. I'm the kinda friend you know has his own issues and he don't wanna bum you out with them but you can say "Hey James, I can't make my rent, can I borrow this.." or "James my house burned down can I come live wit you?" or "my boyfriend is about to be deported can you buy his old car so we can afford the lawyers?" and my answers are as follows; How much you need?, how long Can you stay + here's $2000 come buy a co-op in my building I'll put in a good word for you, and will it pass inspection?? All this before I was even 25 and these people were older than me! Grown men coming up to my desk at work tell me "I'm hungry" or even just a simple "Feed me" while perched atop my cubicle like a starving pigeon and we'd laugh and joke and sure enough I would buy or bring in something good to eat. I'm the kind of friend that for your birthday from me your most likely to get something we saw in a store window months ago, just to surprise you and make you happy cause it was meaningful to you. Also very kind to those I don't know who seem to be in need, even when we didn't speak the same language, they were drunk and I didn't know if I was walking into trouble.

Somewhere between then and now my life has turned completely upside down. The weight of what I had previously survived (praise God) and what I am now going through don't balance anymore. I lost that home and car and job due to a disability and even though by now you must think me a generally upbeat, diligent, resourceful, praise his name in wrong or right soul I'm lost and I need to rebuild. My entire support system was slowly picked off by my family and close friends life circumstances. I hate telling people how it all happened because to me it sounds like I'm saying I'm cursed and horrible things just keep happening to me. I accept my responsibility for my end and do self checks constantly. Even when thrown into situations far beyond my years, or no one should expect and try to deal with careful thought, civility and grace.

The one last thing I had to hold on to, that was keeping me strong and helping me grow as a person was the love I thought I had but apparently I did not. Lying, fear, cheating, HIV, emotional abuse, sneakiness, poverty, hurt, uncertainty, finding out the person who was the love of your life gave him HIV on purpose but still didn't want him!, cancer and treatments, severely persistent and mental illnesses, self-centeredness, the loss of friends and family acting shady and all that was just my relationship with my EX! So of course me being me for the most part stowed my problems.. "as usual" even if it left me in a bad spot financially, emotionally or physically and I was there! Loving and Supportive even after I was almost attacked. It's a fine line between being a damn fool and doing the right thing, I know but now I'm all on my own. I'm on medicare but the co-pays and deductible are killing me, I can't stay where I am, I'm fat, unhappy and depressed but still thanking God for all the blessing, some time's I feel like asking for more would be an exercise in futility But I'm here. I recently learned that it's ok for me to ask for help. What I'm begging for is to please, please, say a prayer for one another and me! be good to one another and if you could please help me reach my $2,000 goal to a new begining of self sufficiency so I can stop being a broken person and go back to helping others, me and kitty would be forever in your debt and pray for you as well. Amen

This is my first, and hopefully the last time I'm reaching out for financial help. I'm a university degree holder, a young writer from one of the poorest and most under privileged countries from Eastern Europe. English is not my first language, but as you see in this post I'm fairly educated. Soaring unemployment prevents me from making the minimum money needed to pay the bills I share with a flatmate.
I'm doing my best to change things, I'm starting my own little website since I can't afford more than 1 domain name at the moment. So...I'm NOT lazy, I'm passionate about work and the circumstances are suffocating.
Please help me by a small donation of your choice to bypass this month (bills) while I'm creating onloine streams of future income. WHOEVER helps me NOW when I'm in need - WILL BE rewarded, I'm willing to share my future success to say a big THANK YOU. I can write articles for you, or give away some of my future little commercial websites! Opportunities of my saying thanks are manifold. It's called good karma, you give and it'll return to you multiplied :)
I know there's a bright future for me, I only currently need your support so I don't face an eviction because of being late with bills for the last 2 months. :(
Please help me pull through and experience my genuine gratitude in the months to come.
THANKS

Do you believe in true love? I do, and I may always believe if bestowed the proper provisions.

She was the only thing that saved me from a life of crime and possibly worse, and she came all the way from Argentina to do so. I was, as I am now, a poor student in Colorado and a "lucky bum" who finally got a break by love finding him. Currently I study foreign language, ie; Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Latin. As impressively smart as one would assume i'd have to be to study so many languages at once, to the contrary I was terribly stupid where it matters most, which is at romance. In short because of being a total " fat -head" and ingrate, I let her get on a plane out of my life without saying goodbye. Its been over a year.

Since then, my nights have been like torture without her, and each new romantic fling has been as hollow and meaningless as the preceding. The good news is however, that her and I have keep frequent contact via SKYPE.COM video calls.(thank God 4 skype!) She is in the same position as I am, realizing that she too cannot find closure to our love, and therefore we have decided that we want to be together, except forever this time. So I decided to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina indefinitely to be with the only girl for me.

However it is not enough for me to just get a plane ticket and rush over to South America and live happily ever after, I will also need a job, as well as a room or a hostel to stay in while I job hunt. ( Quite frankly, I am not trying to be unemployed,broke, and living in her mother's house in S. America, no thanks!) Therefore I am also hoping to earn/receive enough money to enroll in a program called ITTO or (International Teachers Training Organization) in Guadalajara, Mexico to receive my license to teach English as a second language(TESL) before going to live in Buenos Aires.

Target date you ask? I am trying to get out of here by early september or october of 2011. As it stands I am basically homeless, out of school for vacation, (meaning no financial aid) and have been doing temporary labor jobs which barely keeps me fed on the weekly basis, let alone permit me to save money for the provisions necessary to go on this life altering journey to find the truth of true love.

All together, I estimate with the cost of a round trip ticket to Argentina ( round trip, because non- citizens are not permitted with one way tickets) as well as the cost of the fore mentioned ITTO course and travel to and from Mexico from Colorado, plus the survival money I will need once ( god willing) I arrived in B's A's, I stand in a financial need of about $5,000.00 or slightly more.

I realize there are people with more important matters that can use money, and I truly hope they receive charity just as I would like to. However this is a petition for those who understand what it is like to let the perfect one get away and could do little or nothing about it, like a child who drops their ice cream off the cone and sadly watches as it melts on the side walk. By donating to this cause, you can be the "adult" who walks up to that kid, fumbles in his pocket for some spare change to present that poor kid with a new ice cream that takes the tears from their eyes. She is my ice cream, and I don't want another flavor for my whole life. You can help make this possible, by aiding me with an airline ticket, or even check out the ITTO website and if you feel generous enough and pay the tuition of the program. I would be more than happy to correspond with each and every donor to update you on this story with letters and even pictures of what became of your generosity.

I'd like to thank any donors in advance, as well as any one who took the time to read my story and had it in their heart to give but wasn't able. Together we can prove that there is a such things as second chances at a good thing, chivalry is certainly not dead, and love stories aren't just for the story books, in fact...it can happen to you!

Thanks and warm regards,

Hello. I am a teacher and mother of an adorable little girl, who happens to have a language delay and sensory processing disorder. After a Christmas plagued by car troubles (we drive her an hour twice a week for therapy), we took out a payday loan. One loan led to another, and then my husband's mother died unexpectedly, which worsened our financial situation as well. We're working with a credit counselor, but the fees are still going to eat up our next couple of paychecks. I am looking for some money to help with the bills, so that we can dig ourselves out of this mess.

Thank you!

Hi,

My Name is Alyssa and I will be starting my first semester of Graduate School in August. My field of study is Speech and Language Pathology. I absolutely love my field but this particular field requires you to have at least a Masters degree to practice. After my grandfather had a stroke he had to go to a Speech Pathologist to help him re learn how to speak properly and to re train him on how to talk. The first time I took him to his appointment is the moment I knew that I wanted to become a Speech Pathologist and help others just like my Grandfather. I have completed my Bachelors degree and now am about to start my Graduate studies. I have 2 years of non stop, year round school to finish to complete my Masters. This is where my asking for help comes in. I had to work to put myself through my four years of college and have received no help from anyone. I have never been able to save much because of all my expenses with school. Now that I have been accepted to Graduate school I have been calculating the cost I will have over the next 2 years. The results have greatly discouraged me and to be honest have made me wonder if I will ever be able to do it. With all of my expenses including tuition, books, rent, bills, food, and other living expenses I have come to the conservative assessment that i will need around $50,000. Compared to the average price of grad school these days almost being $29,000 per semester, I figure if I live very conservative that I can just about get through it all with only spending $50,000. The college tells us not only in person but it says on their web site as well that you can not work and be in this program at the same time. Only 15 people were accepted into the Speech and Language Pathology program at my school and it is made clear to us that it is very intense and time demanding and that working outside of going through the program is not recommended and in fact discouraged. They tell us if we plan on working that it is recommended we wait to go through their Masters program. So here I am, I have tried applying for Grants and loans and I cannot seem to catch a break. I apologize for you having to read this long request for help but I want you to know that if you do decide to help me that you will be helping me reach my goals and dreams and in turn you will help an unlimited number of other people through my career who have speech disabilities for any number of reasons who need help to overcome it. Because of my Grandfather I am hoping to specialize in those who suffer from brain injuries or neurological damage and be able to give them the new life my Grandfather was given through his rehabilitation. He past away a few weeks ago and he will be forever missed. In honor of my Grandfather I have taken on his email address as my own. I have used it to set up the PayPal account as a sort of dedication to him in honor of him being the reason I have chosen this field of study and made it my goal in life. Any amount of money your heart tells you to donate, even if it is just one cent will help and will be greatly appreciated and put to good use and towards a life of helping others. I thank you for your time in reading this and for your help and support. I hope you have a wonderful day or night wherever you may be!

With humble thanks and appreciation

My career as a property developer is unsuccessful because I cannot consistently stay employed,
and it is only worse with this recession. Also, my career demands that I spend much time of my life being lonely and isolated in rural areas. I really need to be around more people in my life. Now I want to start a new career writing travel articles. Also, I am willing to volunteer for social charities overseas and to teach English as a second language. I am traveling overseas because I think that there is more opportunities for careers that are related to my academic degree in anthropology and religious studies, and I also don't feel the social stigmatism of being a financially poor and single man in his forties that I do in the USA. Also, I owe the US government around $30,000 for student loans. I need a job or at least a financial safety net so that I don't go broke overseas. I can live on as little as $1000 a month.
So please help with whatever you can while I am making this career change. I can keep you informed about my whereabouts and activities.
I have aspergers, a mild form of autism that causes me to be socially challenged when trying to relate to people and open doors for career opportunities.
I have no wife and family with children, and am now in my early forties.
Perhaps I can start a new life if I can manage a successful career change.

I am 18 years old and live with my friend and her deaf mother. I am going to culinary school and had to take out loans to keep gas in my car and food in my stomach. I finally got a job but money is still tight and I find it hard to be able to pay off what I took. Any help would be great!

My friends mother, is also in need of money. Her husband died last July and I believe she is slowly losing it because of it. It is difficult to tell since I do not do sign language, but I know money is so tight for her as well, and for her to take me in is a blessing. I would love to be able to give money to her, to take care of her bills and continue to be the blessed woman she is!

Thank you all and god bless!

I am a junior psychology major, human development minor attending Howard University. Thus far, school has had its ups and downs. However I have been able to maintain an acceptable grade point average of 3.46 and a position on the Deans Honor Roll. I have been honored to be a part of Howard University Swahili Language Flagship program, which allowed me the opportunity to participate in a study abroad trip to Kenya and Tanzania, East Africa. I have also been a committed volunteer to the Capital Area Food Bank, and a encouraging Troop Leader for the Girl Scouts of the Nations Capital.
For as long as I can remember, I have been dedicating myself to giving back to my community. I am writing this letter in hopes that this one time the community will help me. I am a 20 year old African American woman from the inner city of Brooklyn, NY. My mother is a struggling single parent of two, living on Unemployment benefits. With the cost of living and rise in the economy, paying my tuition is impossible for her to manage now. I have tried reaching out to my father; however, instead of committing himself to my life, he preferred the street life.
This financial burden is hampering my abilities to achieve. The thought of having such an outstanding balance in all of my living expenses worries me. With no way of paying these expenses, I think about the possibility that I might have to withdraw from Howard University and go back home. It angers me to know that I am so close to accomplishing my goals and the only thing holding me back is money.
I have been applying for many scholarships, some have been beneficial others not so much. The scholarships that I have received have barely paid for my tuition each semester. Unfortunately I cannot take out a loan because I need a cosigner and my mother is the only one willing to cosign a loan for me. Unfortunately, my mother is not eligible to be a cosigner. I have exhausted all possibilities to help assist with my expenses. I have contacted many different public offices in hopes that they would be able to help with my past due rent and living expenses. However, most of the programs that are offered require the applicants to either have a child or a person over 65 years old. I have tried contacting the provost of my university to see if there is anything that I can do to get extra funding.
With that said, I am seeking sponsorship or any contributions towards my endeavors. If you are unable to contribute, but are aware of other resources that would be of interest, please contact me. I assure you that these contributions are for a good cause. It will allow me to my tenure at Howard University and further my career as a neuropsychologist. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanking You In Advance

I need money to buy a plane ticket out of China. My husband moved us here 1 year ago, but I'm not allowed to learn the language or get a job. I have no money, and no way to ask for help. There is no way to communicate with people.

I need the money so I can purchase a plane ticket back to the US. Please help me!

The more time goes by, the more violent he gets. There is no law here about it, and he is the only one who can communicate with the police, anyway.

Thank you for your help.

I desperately need YOUR HELP!!!
I have never gone out with a girl in my life for 34 years.
I just want to have my hair cut.
And buy some suits and shoes.
I have lived in great loneliness.
If you help me I'll pray for you everynight,
before i went to sleep. Thank you.

PS : Sorry for my poor English language

Hi, I am new to this, and have no idea what to say. I am an older lady, living in Canada with arthritis, and I have found myself no longer working, and was living pay to pay and not much money, but it paid the bills.
I have been trying to get together money to get my teeth and gums seen to, after an injury to my gums about four years ago now.
I am a person everyone always said would never lose their teeth, due to my brushing and flossing four times per day, but the last few years,
going on four years this year, I have had serious non stop infection in my gums and the dentists say to come back once I have lots more money.
It will be costing a mint now as more wrong with the infection causing more problems. I find it getting very scary for me as the Medical Dr.
says the infection has to be going through my body, and will at some point go to the heart or brain and kill me. I feel so helpless, and no way to help myself.
I am sick and dizzy on occasion, maybe from all this, but no way to change it. I need to reach out and ask others, so I have decided to try this.
I have no one that can help me, and I was told I must also live in an area with cleaner air and not the smog. I moved to cleaner air, but cannot get out and about in
all the snow, due to arthritis and would like to live closer to family out west if possible as well, but means getting enough to retire with in the future, and I will not have that. My retirement would never cover rent and expenses in the future.
I am seeking work now as recently unemployed due to the language laws here and I speak only English. I can get work out west but not afford rent in the area it is offered.
I really am scared of getting worse off with all the infection and I have two loving cats I want to keep in my life.
My story is long, so no room for all of it, but I chose what I feel is important, my teeth, gums, roof over my head with my two cats. I have had them since they were born. They really keep me responsible, and feel needed by them as well. I Love the cats and they love me.
I do not take drugs, rarely, if ever have a drink, as not into alcohol, and do not smoke.
I am just a person that had something happen in my life to set me back, and at my age, yes I am an older woman, and it is not as easy to get work as I get older and My teeth are just not helping the situation at all. My two front teeth are missing and a third one very loose.
I hope someone is out that that cares and can understand how I am feeling and can see I am actually desperate as worry my health will get worse though I have always taken care to eat right, brush my teeth, floss etc.
Getting older and no money to survive on.
I am not very good at seeking help, and really have no idea what to say, but thought I should at least try and see if anyone can help me. I would appreciate it greatly. If I get more than I ever felt I would, then I will also help others that are in need. I believe that is what life is all about. People coming together and helping one another.
I thank you for taking the time to read this. It is my last hope.

30 year old female artist from Scotland is seeking help to fund one academic year at the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu, China, from September 2011. I dream of studying the Chinese language and painting the urban landscape.

I am not eligible for the usual Chinese government or Confucius Institute Scholarships that most people use as I am too old/too long out of education.

I am trying to raise US$2000 for the tuition fees and $1300 for the return airfare. $3300 in total.

I do have a paintings of Europe for sale at: www.etsy.com/shop/scully where all profits go towards my educational goal. This also shows my work. Alternatively, if you can offer $200 or more, during my time in China, I will paint and send you an original 5x7" watercolour as a thank you. I can offer larger/more paintings for larger donations. Please ask.

Xie xie (thank you)

Hi,

I'm a 28 year old Brit, I graduated in Chinese language last year and since then I have been desperately looking for work.

Unfortunately, I live in one of the areas in the UK affected worse by the recession. It is for this reason that I need to raise fund to move somewhere not as badly affected.

A friend of mine who lives in Cardiff is looking for a lodger and I'm going to move in with him for a better chance of finding something. With this in mind, I need to raise about £200 ($400) to pay for my train ticket and living expenses once I arrive.

Any and all donations will be gratefully accepted.

Many thanks,

Liam

Donating $1 can actually change someone's life for the better. Many postings on this site may sound false or unbelievable from people just looking for an easy way out, but if you continue reading, you will understand that this posting is actually sincere and worth the time spent reading.

About two years ago, I began a new profession of teaching English to those of other languages. It has been a rewarding and fruitful experience, but as you may know, teachers do not get paid a high salary especially those teaching abroad to foreign students.

For those unfamiliar with ESL/TEFL (English as a Second Language/Teaching English as a Foreign Language) it allows Native speakers like myself to spread the knowledge of English for those who wish to learn it in their home countries. I have been a Certified ESL/TEFL/TESOL Instructor since 2007 and it has been an enjoyable experience. As you may know, teachers in general do not get paid a high salary and ESL Teachers are paid even less. Being an ESL Teacher often means long hours of work for little pay and travelling to multiple destinations in one day to teach a variety of students. ESL Teachers do not expect to become rich teaching English, they do it for other reasons. I do it for C.A.R.E., four major reasons:

C-Cultures, infusing cultures and learning of yourself with others.

A-Achievement,knowing you have taught someone something in which they can use.

R-Results, the English they learn can be used to advance them in today's global economy.

E-Enrichment, providing a service in which communication can bring people together for years to come.

I am currently teaching in Ukraine, but I have a new teaching job opportunity in a new country that I would like to get to. Not only for the chance of teaching new students in a new culture, but a tremendous demand for language schools which in could turn into a what I have been hoping to do, opening my own language center. I have been planning this for months as the academic year was coming to a close at my current school, what I didn't plan for was my school not fulfilling their obligations in the contract for a year end completion bonus. This completion bonus was a major part of my relocation funds. Even though the summer has past and I continue to work towards my goal, it seems the end is moving farther away at a greater rate of speed than which I am going.

I am not asking for one individual to give the entire amount or pay the relocation expense, but only a small donation. Even if it is the cost of the average fast food meal, it will be greatly appreciated. If everyone just tells one friend and they donate, small donations can be very powerful.

Please visit my website at www.worldestiny.com (currently disabled, please feel free to visit the free web hosting site at http://worldestiny.freetzi.com) and see for yourself. Before my website was disabled it was ranked in the TOP 30 in Google search results for learning English online. I would like to keep it running and eventually open my own learning center. I offer educational games and learning activities among other things for students and teachers. I am just an honest person trying to create a better world through education, one student at a time.

As you can see, I am not simply begging for money or making a story for you to read. But, in reality, a way to help more people other than just myself.

I appreciate your time in reading my request. Thank you.
