I am a 33 year old mother of an 16 month old son...I was misdiagnosed in 2006 and 3 weeks after having my baby found out I have a Very Rate cancer called myoepithelial carcinoma...at the present time I have been told there is only 2 cases in the world! Therefore, they don't know much about my cancer...I traveled to Md Anderson cause drs here in Louisiana said they didn't know enuff and referred me to Md Anderson...was in clinical trial on Medicaid, but was finally taken off trial cause I was throwing up blood in which they put a scope down my nose into my throat and into my stomach and another scope down my throat into my lungs...from the pregnancies the hormones made the tumors grow like wild flowers...went from 3 to almost 30 now and 3 internal...one in each of my lung and one by my heart! I watched my mother & father get shot in front of me when I was a young child...only 2, my mother lived, but my father passed away...I know the pain and suffering losing a parent can and will cause...been there, done that & I want so much more for my child! He and I have a VERY special bond...I am w/ him 24/7...well I couldn't afford to continue to go back in forth to Md Anderson and in the beginning I was staying w/ my moms brother, who eventually moved cause of wrk reasons so we was then staying in hotels and like i said, it became too expensive and I still had bills back at home in Louisiana...now I'm taking a turn for the worse...I went from 3 chemo drugs to 2, now I'm down to one...had bad reaction to the doxil, then now the avastin has caused me to have sum type of syndrome to where I now have a hole in my kidneys and I'm peeing out 3 plus protein and losing all electrolytes...such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium...so now my dr cancelled my other chemo torisel for a few weeks and I'm waiting to get another pet scan this week Jan 27th, 2012...the kidney specialist is VERY concerned cause he just got a copy of my labs from
Chemo dr and said that my potassium is so low, it's 2 point something and if it drops a few points lower my heart can fail and incan
have nerve damage/problems...so instead of getting the torisel this past Thurs. my chemo dr gave me potassium etc thru my port AGAIN...we just did this few weeks ago and when I returned few days later it was lower than before they gave it to me thru my port...so he tried it again, and also tripled up on my potassium pills and doubled up on my magnesium and calcium pills! My kidney specialist sets up to go get an renal ultrasound of kidneys Wed at another hospital and also wants me to do a kidney biopsy and last thing he wants me to do a 24 hr urine collection and keep container in a styrofoam ice chest and then drop off st lab following day! I am
Swelling Sooooo bad! First it started w/ feet/ankles, now it's everywhere...primary dr told me to try compression stockings & to keep feet and head elevated, but no luck...been going on few days before X-Mas Eve( the swelling & only getting worse)...I can't work, I am now disabled and the amount of my check doesn't even pay the rent! On top of that I have a 16 month old son! He is my works and I try my best to not let him see my suffer or b in pain or even cry from all the stress and worry! As much as I've been thru in my life time, this is BY FAR THE HSRDEST THING I'VE EVER HAD TO GO THRU! I've asked so many ppl to guide me in the directions to get sum type of help/assistance...I can't lie, the cancer center have me a gas card once to help me get to MD Anderson! I just know there has to b more out there to help ppl in my situation! I feel like my time is limited so I'm trying to spend as much quality time w/ my son as possible, but lately I've been in drs offices trying to get referrals to even get into a new cancer center cause I can not afford to go to MD Anderson, abd my primary dr already put calls into West Jeff, Our Lady of the Lordes, LSU, Tulane, but they all say there's a problem...they don't take mecicaid, or if they do take it, they already took the limit they can accept, it's always one excuse after another...I've already been on the news w/ Mr. Dennis Woltetine in hopes of finding a dr abd letting ppl know we set up a donation acct at any capital one bank and all they need to do is go to any capital one branch and tell them they would like to donate to Crystal Raines-Slaughter donation acct. That acct has only $12 and so many cents in it right now...my medical expenses aren't cheap when certain test aren't covered by Medicaid and then travel expenses, such as gas, hotel, food, parking etc. what money we did get helped out and I was sooo appreciative, but it just didn't last! That was like a year ago! Now searching for something for anything that can help me! I want to live! I want to raise my son! I'm NOT ready to die!!! My primary dr called me few days ago and said lets keep our fingers crossed cause she's been trying to reach this certain lady over East Jefferson Hospital, which is now affiliated w/ MD Anderson so they faxed over sum release papers in which I quickly signed & they faxed back...now I'm just waiting & praying that they accept me...she already sent over sum of my paperwork! I have to go to ER first thing in a.m cause the swelling is getting so worse, I'd hate to die b4 I get into this hospital! I have a good feeling bout this one! PLZ pray they accept me & if u know of ANY programs, grants, anything that can assist me right now while cause having too many complications and so weak and I'm he alone w/ my 16 month old son all day, everyday so it's hard for me to do much research! That's y I'm up at this time in the a.m right now cause once he's up at 7:30, it's all about him! I can never find time to do much researching for any assistance...may it be w/ rent, utilities, food, diapers, clothing, gift cards, grants, help w/ cancer expenses that add up soooo quickly, hospital bills cause Medicaid don't cover everything so I have to make payment arrangements, and help w/ certain test that Medicaid don't pay for like the pet scan that I'm bout to have to get again on 27th of this month! That alone is almost $3,000.00! PLZ if u know of ANYTHING, pass the info to me...I greatly appreciate it! My email address is cheeky1978@att.net Also I know they say don't say ur real name, but I truly believe in good ppl out there and if they don't know
of any info that can help me, maybe yall can spread the word about the donation acct at any capital one bank...I already listed my name and explained how it works...u can also goggle the story by Dennis Wolterine think it was channel 6 or 4 New Orleans Louisiana news...u can actually see my previous baby boy too! He was only like 3 months old then and it was also published in the Slidell local paper...front page! There's 2 diff Slidell local pages, it's not the Slidell sentry, but the other one...I wanna say Slidell Star...my memory is really terrible cause I have 2 tumors on my head and the rest r all over! It's now metastatic! I am married, but my husband hasn't been able to work cause I can't drive and he has to drive me to all these appt's! It's been so rough! PLZ if this has touched u in any way, PLZ help us so we can get ourselves back on track and not have so many extra worries! Thnx again & may God Bless!!!

Caring and Compassionate Funders (CCF’s);
I have a viable bold invention that has been researched by InventSAI, 375 Southpointe Blvd, Suite 110, Canonsburg, PA 15317, PH: 1-800-528-0627; and now in order to be able to move forward, SAI tells me that I now need to find funding before my invention can be put to the 50 manufactures for negotiations and choosing the highest bidder to produce my product.
I have already paid the required fee for the Idea and Research Phases and my product was found to be a viable bold invention; and now I am in the Development Phase before going to production by the manufacture.
Without being able to describe my invention product because of not having a patent pending / Utility Patent at this time; and no Confidential Agreement signed by any CCF’s, my hands are tied at this time. But SAI told me that they would NOT have done the research to this point if my invention wasn’t a viable product. The fee for SAI and its affiliates to complete the process and negotiations, and stay with me for the lifetime of the product is $13,485.00, to finish the Development Phase.
Maybe you can direct me in the right direction. I didn’t know what else to do; you see, the web pages that Renne Cole/Dowler, Product Mgr. at InventSAI sent me to find funding, started with creating a profile; but in doing so, the web pages would ask for required information: my email, a business name, and an URL. Well, I am not a business yet, and haven’t an URL address for a business yet, so I couldn’t get past the first step required; of which prompted me to submit this explanation in hopes that you could help me get to where I need to be to finish the process for getting my invention to the manufacture for development.
In addition to the above CCF’s, I’d like to tell you a little bit of myself. I am a visionary, and have envisioned and have been working on 12 different business of which would be under one foundation umbrella; that would produce viable long-term permanent jobs for thousands of citizens for a better quality of life if able to be implemented.
Also, I have nine other viable inventions to submit once I get this first one off the ground and being produced and distributed.
However, my set back is the lack of money; and our dire straits for the need of a Personal Needs Grant to meet our life’s necessities and bills obligations. My husband lost his job of six years on 11-11-11 and hasn’t like many others been able to find work yet; and I myself am permanently disabled, although my inoperable disability isn’t noticeable, I can still function at my own pace and my brain is very active and creative.
Thank you CCF’s for your time and consideration in helping me with my dilemma in trying to find funding for the fruition of my invention; and have a great day, and a Happy New Year 2012.
Thank you and Sincerely,

Not sure if any other organizations have expereienced isolation tactics from the Meijer Foundation and Meijer Community Rewards. They have not exhibited "true" community support to everyone that participates in the Meijer Community Rewards program.
Their system of documenting and recording new prospects that you as an organization knows for a fact that you have signed up for the program. Additionally to apply to their foundation, you must request more than $10,000, you say great. No it will be great if you get a reply back. Please comment if you have experienced the same thing. Thank you in advance.
in response to sleepless48...Try modest needs.com They give grants for a variety of reasons. Basically put the gist of this letter into a post there. A lot of donors view that site.I suffer from the same.I wish u the best and hope u have a great holiday.

Dear Sirs/Madams; I have suffered from arthritis since birth and was diagnosed of fibromyalgia about 8 years ago. I have bulging discs in my back and according to recent exrays my hips are going out, but I have no insurance to get proper pain medication. I filed a workers compensation case in December 2009 after a fall that exacerbated these conditions, but I am still waiting for treatment and payment as there has been no payment issued and the case is in litigation. I have been living on unemployment, but that too is about to run out as I am on my last extension. The extension ends next month, January, 2012.
I get little to no sleep on a nightly basis as I am in a great deal of pain, and the mattress on my bed is a very thin wire spring mattress and extremely firm - it's just a step above from sleeping on a hard floor. My condition is not going to get better only worse as I continue to age.
I recently heard that someone in my county received a grant to purchase a high quality mattress for her condition - stage 4 bone cancer - but I do not know anything about who she made the request to, who the grantor was or her financial status. I am seeking a grantor that could provide me enough of a grant or very low interest long-term loan to purchase a high quality mattress to aid in reducing pain, so that I can get some sleep and benefit from better quality of life.
If anyone has any information about who I may contact for this help, please contact me. Thank you, and God Bless.
There's a group called Assetts in lancaster,pa that teaches people the grant process. I was really excited to find this resource,but,it must be the holidays,my head is swirling,lol.

Target Blocks of the applying NGO
Arcot, Walaja Blocks in Vellore District
Thurinjapuram, Kilpennathur and Tiruvannamalai Blocks in Tiruvannamalai District.
Title of the project:
To promote needed clear awareness on how to protect the existing trees and how to keep the surroundings with clean and green environment to control the climate change at least in future among the people living below the hill slope of Sri Annamalaiyar Hill in Tiruvannamalai the world famous pilgrimage town in Tamil Nadu, South India.
Target area :
The slope of Sri Annamalaiyar Hill in Tiruvannamalai with the distance of 14 Kms
Target group:
The people living in this hill slope of Sri Annamalaiyar Hill to the number of 4000 as an average
Duration of the proposed project:
12 months from the date of execution of the project
Need of the project:
Actually the identified target area of the slope of Sri Annamalaiyar hill is located in Tiruvannamalai the district headquarters of Tiruvannamalai district. In the past 6 years in this hill slope and also in this hill as an average of 5 to 7 NGOs mobilizing funds from your agency and implemented nursery raising and tree plantation activities up to their level. But, till date they do not implementing any awareness programmes and other environmental activities among the target people those who are living below in this hill slope so far. They were simply implemented the plantation activity and they feel that the particular project was completed in that level. Then they submit their completion reports to your agency.
In our view, this is not a right way. If the plantation activity is done in any area, simultaneously compulsorily we should create clear and needed awareness on need of trees and forests and how to protect the planted tree saplings and the uses of trees and how to mobilize the alternative sources for their income generation opportunities and how to made the house hold things which was made out of other items among the people those who are living in that particular target area. Then only the existing planted saplings were protected and in future the thick forests will be raised in that particular target area. But none of the NGO those working in our Tiruvannamalai were not doing this type of follow up activities.
Due to this, the living people in and around these target areas were cutting trees for their fuel purpose, and for their income generation purpose by selling these and earn some money for their survival so far. This is the fact.
Hence, we wish to state that, it is need to promote environmental awareness especially about trees / forests and its uses, how to protect the same, how to change and carryout their alternative income generation sources, how to utilize the alternatives instead of things made out of trees, how to keep our surroundings in clean and green environment to control the climate change at least in future. Hence, we decided to implement this type of project in the above said project area in the forthcoming year i.e. 2011-2012.
Specific objectives of the project:
To impart clear and needed awareness on how to protect the existing trees/forests at least in future.
To promote clear awareness on environmental issues and how to create clean and green environment to control the climate change at least in future.
To bring the target people with needed knowledge on how to utilize the alternatives like things made out of trees, and how to carry out alternative income generation activities for survival
To bring the family members of the target people about environmental awareness
Specific activities of the project:
To organize environmental awareness programmes to the target area people on how to protect the existing trees/forests at least in future once in 3 months
To conduct alternative income generation camps to the target area people to change their attitudes on tree cuttings with the help of District Industries Centre, Tiruvannamalai and with the help of NABARD once in 3 months
To form 5 self help groups among women and youths of that particular target area and train them to protect the existing planted trees/forests
To conduct awareness programmes on not to use plastic items and its evils to the target area people once in 3 months
To motivate the target area people to plant another more number of 2000 no.of seedlings in and around the hill slope of Sri Annamalaiyar Hill in which the other NGOs not covered for their projects in the past years to create clean and green environment.
Outcome of the project:
More number of target area people will come forward to protect the existing trees/forests created in that particular target area in future
The target area people will get clear knowledge about how to utilize the alternatives for their household things made out of wood through this project
More number of target area people will come forward to carryout alternative income generation activities for their survival
More number of target area people will get clear and needed knowledge on environmental issues through our project.
Reporting method :
Once we got assistance from the funding sector, we will have to submit the project implementation report (PIR) once in 3 months i.e quarterly to the agency in prescribed format of funding sector, and as instructed by the funding sector. A completion report along with needed photographs and other documents will also be submitted at the time of the end of the project.
Monitoring and Evaluation strategy of the project:
We invite monitors from the funding agency to access whether our project is properly implemented among the target area as per project schedule and strategy and to access the change of attitudes of our target area people after the project implementation. We feel that this monitoring is to be done at the end of the project period. At the time of monitoring our Chief executive and Project co-ordinator will accompany with the monitor to conduct the final evaluation of the project.

Respected Sir/Madam,
Warm greetings from Sasikala.N, Social Worker, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, South India.
Herewith I submit one appeal for your kind reference and favorable consideration. Actually I am a social worker and also running one Non Governmental Organization in the name of Tribal Rural Urban Service Society (NGO) and working for environmental issues. On behalf of our organization, I conducted many number of environmental awareness programmes explaining about Land, Water, Air Pollution, Trees and its importance, How to raise nurseries and need of thick forests, how to utilize alternative things instead of wood items to conserve the trees among the school students target group in the level of 6th to 8th standard level in the past 4 years with the help of some educational department officials. There is no funding assistance to our organization in these 4 years from any others. My intention is to work for environmental protection and to promote and bring the rural target especially school students with environmental awareness to protect the nature at least in future. Hence, I am doing like this. This is for your kind information.
As a social worker, I lead my family with more problem without any regular income In this hard days. My son is studying well, and now my son studying B.Tech.,(IT) Ist Year in one Engineering College i.e. S.K.P.Engineering College in Tiruvannamalai. The College fees for my son per year is Rs.80,000/-. The course duration now he studying is for 4 years. (8 semesters) In each semester I will have to pay College fees of Rs.40,000/- compulsorily. Totally for these 4 years I will have to meet Rs.3,20,000/- (Rupees three lakh and twenty thousand only) to complete his B.Tech engineering education. Average income of myself is Rs. 3,500/- per month. I am facing so many financial problems every month to lead my family life. Hence, I am facing more difficulty to provide my son engineering education. I need educational assistance from like minded and individual donors for providing educational assistance.
Hence, I request that, kindly go through my appeal and help me to remit my son engineering college (B.Tech.(IT)) fees up to your level as a part of amount as stated above to meet my son educational assistance. Also I request that, kindly convey this appeal to your friends and colleagues those who are willing to help for this educational assistance to complete my son engineering education.It will help to him to complete his B.Tech (IT) engineering course and as well as to my family to provide good education to my son, please.
Thanking you and expecting your valuable and kind assistance in this regard at the earliest.

Hi, I've never done this before - I am disabled with lupus, fybro and Degenerative Disc Disease, which actually happened because of a mean man was beating my son and I intervened and he picked me up and threw me into the patio door, breaking my back. This has be since 2002. I allowed my "friend" and her children to live with me, but she invited her boyfriend to live in my house also. They trippled the bills, never paid me, and I had to sell my house. I've always helped people in need - i'd give the shirt off my back for someone in need. Well, it's my turn I guess....I have been homeless for the last 6 months jumping from one friend to another. The last people I stayed with bled me dry so I couldnt keep up with my bills, and save to get a place. I FINALLY DID! It's an old historic house, just beautiful! I would like to own it someday, but right now I'm having a Financial crisis. My son and his friend are living with me and Im supporting both. They have a job with a contractor who wont give them their paycheck - he sez he's broke. So now my new place - being here only 1 month, I cant pay the rent, I'm already overdrawn at the bank, and I just need a loan - $2,000 would be awesome! I need money not only for rent, but the state took away my health insurance and now I cant see the doc, nor can I get my meds. Thank you for listening, Angel

Dear
REPRESENTATIVES OF INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

For your consideration:
We are a non-profit organization supporting social, cultural, economic, and environmental community development, legally established in the Republic of Ecuador, South America.
We understand that your foundation provides financial support for projects undertaken by social organizations in developing countries. We understand that your financial system acts as a vehicle to donate to developing countries such as Ecuador, South America.
We are interested in checking in with your foundation in order to ask for help in obtaining the necessary resources from your financial system to implement the following project:
1. Seed capital of $ 1,000.00 U.S. Dollars for Micro Enterprise Development of very poor and vulnerable families in the Northern Sierra of Ecuador Andean
We have not succeeded in obtaining funding in our country, so when informed that there is a possibility that your foundation may support us, we turn to you as a last resort. To do so would be benefiting an important sector of our community.
We are ready to provide your organization with any necessary support and to make all necessary arrangements, public and private, in order to help you crystallize your great project to help people living in Ecuador.
If you need any further information or assistance from us here in Ecuador, please do not hesitate to contact:

PROJECT FACT SHEET
1. PROYECT NAME: Seed Capital Plans to Support Local Small Family Businesses
2. LOCATION: Micro-entrepreneurial urban and rural marginal populations in the provinces of Imbabura and Pichincha
3. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: The Corporation for Community Development Imbaya - CIDEC since its foundation has been developing different activities of work and community development projects in the social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects for indigenous, peasant, and afro-Ecuadorians. However, due to lack of financial support for production and marketing of products, micro-entrepreneurs have failed to influence the market. Among the main reasons that have prevented the development of these productive activities are as follows:
The lack of operating capital that they work with: micro-entrepreneurs cannot use the installed capacity and therefore the profits generated are not enough to increase production levels.
Micro-entrepreneurs are forced to sell their products to intermediaries at low prices relative to the market. Because of this, they must liquidate in order to meet their production and consumption demands.
For these reasons, CIDEC Corporation has decided to make project proposals for TRAINING, CONSULTING AND MICRO BUSINESS LOANS for initiation or widening of local small businesses. This objective will provide a capital not exceeding one thousand dollars. The project aims to restore the main source of income for small businesses in order to restore them in their original capacity as the engine of the Local Solidarity Economy, with all the positive effects they have on the family. It is estimated that the provision of seed capital in rural areas and marginal urban areas, plus the technical assistance component in use and management of financial and material resources, are sufficient conditions for financial support to small business family populations, which would provide effective prevention and solution of the problems presently facing the families receiving the Seed Capital.
4. GOAL: To strengthen the economic base of families of mothers receiving welfare, through motivation and guidance in lucrative business enterprises, as well as coordinating activities of credit to microentrepreneurs in activities related to production, trade and craft services in the branches of agriculture, livestock, forestry, rural tourism and others.
5. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
To strengthen the economic base of small businesses.
Support the self-sustained development of individuals and groups through a comprehensive educational process.
Build the capacity of project beneficiary groups.
Promote the auto-complementary productive activities that accommodate surplus rural labor.
Provide support toward self-assessment of resources, traditional forms of reciprocity, and exchange.
Limit peasant migration to urban centers and/or outside the country by creating rural employment sources in production, trade and services.
6. METHODOLOGY: This proposal is based on the expressed need of micro entrepreneurs to maintain and/or restore income levels that allow them to live above the poverty line. It sits well in the productive and organizational tradition of beneficiaries, using the natural ways that social groups have developed for this purpose. It is a highly participatory initiative that reflects the aspirations of the entrepreneurs in order to consolidate self-management efforts that were taking place before the impact of the crisis. It uses new elements that are linked to the tradition of avoiding economic tensions and contradictions that may negatively alter existing social relations, for example: supporting cooperation rather than competition. In short, it reflects and encourages taking into consideration the advantages of the area such as installed capacity, the experience of producers, strengthening social relations linking these capabilities with the marketing community, and technical advice.
7. TYPE OF BENEFICIARY: After the phases of Training and Consultation of Local Small Businesses, support shall be awarded to established groups with 3 or more family members, the amounts not exceeding 1,000 (one thousand) dollars for each group of micro entrepreneurs.
8. CHARACTERISTICS OF PRODUCTIVE PROJECTS: seed capital will be awarded in the following areas:
PURCHASE AND SALE
PROVISION OF SERVICES
RANCHING / CULTIVATION
MANUFACTURING
GROCERIES, ETC.
The criteria for selection of micro projects will focus solely on the basis of benefits and social impacts generated with respect to poverty and marginalization, migration to urban centers and/or abroad, cultural recovery and strengthening of local actors, etc. The credit is not an end in itself. It is a means and instrument articulated toward other necessities to produce defined socio-economic impact through the project objectives. In other words, credit is part of a gear which includes training, counseling, monitoring and evaluation. These activities justify the annual contribution of $20.00 non-refundable dollars for each member of the CIDEC Corporation, to be used for administrative expenses. Furthermore, micro-entrepreneurs have had the opportunity to develop their creative business styles adapted to their culture and conditions. The fundamental principles of operations include planning, marketing and administration. Since the administration of business in the informal sector is a dynamic activity, we put emphasis on the issues we have considered key to start a successful business. The coaching process is shared with the entrepreneurs. The evaluation of the projects is part of the educational activity. Training schemes cannot be rigid, but should conform to the requirements and the experience of individuals. Training is reflexive and conscientious, that is, part of the analysis of community and individual reality in every aspect thereof is to seek socio – economic alternatives. Similarly the Participatory Rural Survey - SRP is not an isolated incident, but a core component of the planning process and an important tool to achieve higher levels of consciousness in the social subject.
9. DONATION REQUEST: We request a donation of 1,000.00 (one thousand) U.S. dollars to support a family among 20,000 inhabitants of the indigenous community's existing base in the Sierra Norte Indigenous Andean Ecuador. We are conducting a campaign in the fight to eradicate poverty and food insecurity in the Indigenous community, towards which will go any financial support provided by your organization.
Waiting for your favorable cooperation to our request for Ecuador's indigenous families, signed.

Rob Cruickshank is my name. I have a 73-year-old friend of 40 years who is scheduled to have his home seized for $3400 in unpaid town/county taxes from 2009. Ulster County, NY will not give him a monthly payment deal, because my friend missed a scheduled payment on his back taxes. He has a memory disability, for which he takes meds, and that's what made him miss his payment. He's also illiterate. He doesn't drink or drug. Recently, his partner of many years stole the business they ran together, in Woodstock, NY (Taco Juan), leaving him unemployed and without funds. He has no car.
Does anyone know of a Foundation that can help him? It seems his only option is to come up with the $3400 in back taxes before 02/17/2012. Please contact at ejkrbc@aol.com
