Joyce says: To recieve a Free Charity Car would be one of the greatest things that could happen to someone like me.The only wheels I own are the ones on my wheelchair.It makes a rough ride to Target but it does get good gas mileage. lol I have always been the one to give to everyone.You know that shirt on my back, it comes from the locale church as well as the contents of my refridgerator.I have been out of work for three years now and I need a van that will hold my power chair.No matter how hard it is I have to swallow my pride and ask for help.I gotta get out of this house.Depression is getting harder to deal with when you have to depend on everyone to take you to the store,the doctors,the library,etc.I would would be sooooo greatful to have some of my freedom back. I would be willing to do the wheelchair dance.cha cha...cha cha cha - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

Little Marty was in a neglectful home till Amber and Brad took him away and brought him to a vet. They are both young college students, one is employed part time. The vet treated little Marty for a prolapsed anus caused by heavy infestation of worms. Unfortunately the surgical repair did not hold, there was far more damage and he requires a surgical procedure called a coloplex if he is to survive. Without this surgery little Marty will have to be put to sleep. The surgery is estimated at $3500 and the only surgical vet who can perform the surgery is not willing to take money down. He wants it all up front. The family has been paying out of pocket for Marty's stabilizing care to keep him alive until funds can be raised for surgery, but they can't keep him alive AND raise funds at the same time. Can you help little Marty get this surgery? - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

About 5 years ago my Drivers License expired, because I didn't have all my identification documents that were needed at the time. Eventually, I bought all of them and when we moved to Virginia 2 years ago to care for my inlaws, those documents were misplaced. I need a DL or State ID in order to work. I also just enrolled into college to get a Digital Design Diploma, and need to provide a valid ID, the state ID I currently have, went dead in April. I need to get a Birth Certificate, Marriage License and Divorce Papers from my ex-husband, as well as, marriage license to my husband now. I have to show all my name changes and why my name changed over the years. Any help with paying to get these documents would help in me two ways. I can't obtain work without a valid Id, and I need it for school. Also, I really need a Driver's License. Lois has submitted all documentation needed to verify her identity and need for assistance on MicroGiving. - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

Melissa was diagnosed with factor v leiden and a blood clot and pulmanary embolism. Due to her ilness she has to go to the doctor every two weeks for a PT INR and a CBC count. The PT INR is to make sure her blood is in a safe range. Her insurance only covers part of her medical expenses and even though she has insurance she still has to pay high co-pays. Plus, her insurance will not cover things like ultrasounds and frequent testing for blood work. Melissa is a single parent of two beautiful children. She needs help covering some of her medical expenses so she can continue to provide a roof over her children's head and food on the table. What is Factor V Leiden thrombophilia?

Judy Hamilton This is not Hamilton's first foray into politics. She ran against District 83 Rep. Don Smith in 2008 and lost. She believes this time will be different because Council District 5 represents a smaller area, and she is more familiar with "hometown" issues. One of those issues is older adult care. Baby boomers (generally those born in the 1950s) are part of an aging population, Hamilton said, and there are a lack of accessible services to accommodate them, as evidenced by waiting lists for Meals on Wheels and Best Friend Express for people who use the buses to get to medical appointments. She wants to make sure the youth of this area get a good education because they will be taking care of the aging population. Hamilton, 45, believes that what separates her from several of the other candidates is the fact she is not a business woman. "I'm an employee," she said. "That's what most of Aiken County is. What we will be dealing with affects the working man." She is a licensed medical social worker with Aurora Pavilion. - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

Medical bill on our 4 month old puppy to pay for her broken leg. Her leg had to be pinned, plated and a wedge inserted due to a previous break while owned by the petshop we bought her from, which didn't tell us about her leg ever being broken. We owned her for 1 week when we found out due to her leg breaking in the same spot again. Pet shop will not help us with bill even though surgeon places original break while under thier care. We have 1 year to raise money when the bill becomes due. - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

Hi. My name is James, and I have cerebral palsy. I'm 22 and attend the University of Connecticut. My wish is to send the maximum number of 70 kids to my local Muscular Dystrophy Summer Camp in Spring Valley, NY. Last year, I was able to send 37 kids, raising over $30,000 and appearing with Tony Orlando and my idol, Jerry Lewis in hour 4 of the national telethon. I certainly haven't given up hope, but I lose sleep and worry that I won't come close to matching last year, let alone beating it or sending everyone to camp. I've tried reaching out to every media outlet available with some success, but not much because of the recession. I am grateful that so far this year, I am sending nine kids, but like Mr. Lewis, I always strive to beat last year by a dollar. If you can help, please visit my website: [ link ] and give whatever you can. It doesn't matter where you're from, a kid in need is a kid in need anywhere. Or, ChipIn with your PayPal account below! I want to wheel on that stage this year and surprise To - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

Expense: This is for tuition for my son. He has brittle bone disease and Aspergers syndrom. I am trying to raise money to get him into a school that is safe and can meet his needs. Thank you Description: My husbands job transfered in November of O8 he moved here and lived in a camper in a campground until February of 09. My youngest son who has brittle bone disease and Aspergers syndrom wasn't going to come because he also has adjustment disorder. He decided to stay with his dad and go to school there where he was comfortable. Well it took a long time to find a home that we could rent and it wasn't ready until February. My son decided at the last minute he wanted to come with us. (like days before the move.) So I had not looked into schools and did not know the situation with the area public schools. I signed him up for the public school here and things were horrible they have metal detectors, fights, police, the kids can't even go to the restroom without a teacher. This scared the fires outta - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

I found a great school that can accommodate his needs. They even have elevators which will mean no stairs for him thus, less the chance of broken bones. The problem is I need a thousand dollars by Monday to get him into this safer better environment. I know it’s a lot but I fear for him every day. I hate to leave him. I know how much I am asking but I am praying for a hero. If you can help please visit and chip in, if you can't chip in can you promote this urgent need? - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

"I am getting married, at home, this coming Friday 8-8-8. A night wedding in the back. Simple country wedding.

Not only for the wedding, mainly to comply with the mortgage company and the new ordinances of residence that went into affect. There is an area in the roof that is giving us fits. We have gone up and made repairs FIVE times. It is now storming and IT IS LEAKING. I am totally disgusted. We are totally broke from all of the unexpected expenses and UGH things." - Rayhawk from Bookmarklet

"July 15th and 16th, MicroGiving will be looking for volunteers in the Cedar Rapids area. The volunteers will be asked to work 3-4 hour shifts from 9am – 6pm on both days. The volunteer’s will be in charge of registering those in need of financial aid at the MicroGiving site. The goal is to link individual families in need with donors willing to give.
