Review: It's amazing there are generous people like you out there to help we the poor ones. I'm the first of six, shouldering the responsibility of bringing up my younger ones since our parents are handicapped. I had to drop-out of school to become a truck pusher in order to breadwin the family. We've been ridden by poverty to the extent that we can hardly pay for our rent and we're been threatened to be ejected very soon. All hope seem to be lost until I heard of your benevolency. Please I need your help. I want to go back to school, Please help us. I have faith you will by God's grace. Thank you.

Review: May 23, 2008 I am a woman of Faith, a wife of 16 1/2 years and a mother of 8 God-sent children. I need help in REUNIFYING my family. The judicial system has forcibly separated us, by false allegations, in pursuit to persecute us for our Faith in Jesus. I need funds to pay one of the leading criminal attorney's in Illinois, Jed Stone. He's going to take our case for pennies on the dollar because of recent financial hardship we have experienced. We lost our home to foreclosure in August 2007, and I am now homeless, without my children and without my husband. This system is denying my husband his due process rights and violating his right to have a trial. Please anyone who can help. I need $12,500.00 in total or at least 75% ($7,500.00) before next Tuesday, May 27th. ANYBODY WHO HAS IT PLEASE, YOU CAN MAKE ALL CHECKS PAYABLE TO JED STONE AT 415 WEST WASHINGTON STREET SUITE 107 WAUKEGAN ILLINOIS 60085 IN CARE OF KATHY SWOPES. MAY GOD BLESS ANYONE WHO RESPONSES TO THIS PRAYFUL REQUEST FAITHFULLY KATHERINE Y. SWOPES serious inquiries only can email me at: swopeskatherine@yahoo.com

Review: Dear Sir. I am a single mother of a mentaly handicapped son. I have raised him alone. They told me to put him away, he would never walk or talk well. We showed them. He has his driver's license. I have always supported him by myself. I got sick, a brain tumor, then cancer again in the kidney, which was removed. I have gone to the state for help but to no avail. They want me to compromise him by making him quit his 6 hour a week job to stay home and do nothing. I need a Christmas Miracle. I have never asked anyone for anything. I am in the process of losing our home I worked 38 years for and my car died 4 months ago. I am so ashamed to write this knowing more people have worse conditions than me I again just got sick and am on that horrible predinsone. If you could find it in your heart to help a couple of people rather than a big conglomerate It would be greatly appreciated. There is much more to our story but not enough room here. Please contact us. Thank you, Fran.

Review: I was told by one of my workers about people that can help me in my situation. I'm caring for my mother who is disabled and she is diabetic. She lost one of her legs to this sickness. I have four kids, and I know that she wishes she could do more with them. I wish that I could help her but financially I can barely make do with what I have. I would really like for her to get a prosthetic leg but I can't afford it. She just got out of the hopital and she has no medical so I know I have to take care of that bill plus pay for her medication and that's another story. But any help would be very appreciated. Thank you for taking this time to read this. God bless, love and aloha!

Review: I am a Certified Massage Therapist looking to be licensed very soon and I am a firm believer in therapeutic massage being administered for muscle aches & pains before medicines (in normal wear & tear cases). There are millions of people that work and earn money that they'd rather spend on medicines rather than massage when massage really does work better. In the long run, with massage there isn't a medicine pile up in the system to cause worse problems including weakening of muscles and a greater need of more medicine to get rid of pain temoporarily. I believe I have a solution to this problem and would love help to set this movement in motion. Thank you, Tahira Guyon, CMT

Review: Hello, I was on my computer, using Google, and ran across this. I think it is admirable of these people to want to give back. I have overcome tremendous odds to be where I am. My husband was killed in an accident and I was left to raise my children alone. This is not a sob story, nor am I looking for a handout - it's just a different perspective on things from someone who has never been around wealth. I would love to be in your position where I could see people that need help and to be able to help. I am 38 now, and my oldest just graduated high school, and joined the military. I still have 2 more at home. I have told them all, if ever they are in a position {win the lottery} to help those that need it. So kudos to you guys for having the money and actually trying to do something. However please keep one thing in mind. There are so many children and families in poverty in the U.S. Please consider keeping some in the U.S.

Review: Reading these comments made me realize my family is not alone. My husband has come up with a good idea on how to get help to those in need. It is good to hear about a company that actually cares, but it should not be alone. My husband is disabled and we have three teenage kids and we know what struggling is. We all work together just to keep food on the table. Our house is falling down and we only have one vehicle running. I am a college student just trying to hold my family together and improve our lives. Anyway, our idea is if the elite(extremely wealthy) would donate one percent of their yearly incomes towards individual families, it would actually help the economy and help a family falling through the cracks. The money given to a family should be monitored so that they do not use it to splurge, and each situation should be looked at differently. If you want to know more of our ideas, please email us. Of course any help we could get would be appreciated.
