Audrey asked Robin Hood Fund for $30 to buy Cheese cake and Chicken Wings for 2. She’s been away from her partner for 4 months working for room and board on a sailing ship. Now all she wanted was a little money to buy her partner’s favorite foods.
Not only did she receive the $30, but the RHF community spoiled her with $90 of cold hard cash. That’s going to buy a lot of chicken wings and cheese cake. Enjoy the feast!
It seems the chance at our $20,000 pot has inspired the community to turn it up and produce some truly outstanding videos in support of their wishes. If you haven’t had a chance to see some of the entries, here are a few noteworthy wishes for you to enjoy.
If you haven’t entered your own wish, don’t despair, there’s still time! As you can see, making a video makes all the difference and really helps your wish stand out. If you need help making a video to support your wish, just contact us and we can give you a hand.
Well Wishers, people are starting to raise the bar on the quality of wishes being submitted. It is getting to the point where if you don’t have a video, or at least a picture, people are gonna think you just don’t want it bad enough. So show ‘em what you’ve got and keep those fabulous wishes coming in. Today, I’m profiling a pretty incredible wish. Check out the video!
Travel funding for a documentary to be made in Kyoto

When I first met Keizo around September, 2001 I was fascinated by the stories he had to tell about Kyoto. This man is truly a living treasure. He always has his Olympus camera at the ready to capture the beauty of Kyoto in all its seasons. He often carts around a bag containing several albums packed full of photos as well, in order to share them with people he meets. On several occasions when I’ve been with him, he’s approached a person in the street and presented them with a print he’s taken of them months earlier. The second time I met him, he insisted on taking me to dinner at a delicious unagi (eel) restaurant and paying for everything. I would like to pay him back for all of the incredible generosity he’s shown myself and others over the years, by allowing him to share his thoughts on Kyoto in a video.
Pretty cool! I can’t wait to see Keizo on film.
Thanks for sharing with us,

Today, I am profiling icefire’s wish to help her parents.
Medical Expenses for Diabetic Parents
both my parents have diabetes..it pains me to see how the are suffering from this sickness. My father’s eye sight is already deteriorating at the age of 59 so he could not do anymore work but to stay at home. My mother owns a little store but her income is too little even for their own daily expenses such as food and other basic needs. normally, my mother just boils on some medicinal plants for them to drink as an alternative source of medicine. i know they would need constant fbs and medical check-ups as well as operation for their eyes.
my income at work is just enough for me and my son. my birthday will be on the 18th of december, i just hope, u can grant my wish and take this as the greatest gift i will ever have for my birthday which is helping my parents.
Icefire, I think you are a great daughter. Thank you for sharing your wish with us.

Merman was kind enough to send us some background information on his wish:
6 lounging chairs for the Corvallis Cancer Radiation Center
I love that Merman took such a personal experience and made it into a wish that could really benefit others. He has definitely embraced the spirit of Robin Hood and the Sherwood Forest.
Thank you for sharing your story with us Merman,
Maid Marian
