my next semester's tuition paid for!
This is my last year of school, and after several failed attempts I will finally graduate college! I have 3 part-time jobs and to be able to take the pressure off me to raise my tuition would be indescribable! This would free up money that I already have to set aside for Christmas and some bills. Please help me make this wish come true! |

To start my own business
Those of you who have been reading my blog will know that I have been looking for a job for 6 months as I'm being made redundant. 6 months with plenty interviews but all the prospective offers disappearing because of hiring freezes, jobs going away, lack of funding or miraculously finding an internal candidate at the last minute. Christmas is now approaching as is the end of my employment. With no offer in sight and the last actual job offer I received being my current job offer I received in Jan 2000, please help me set up on my own so that I don't have to go through this. Wife and 3 young girls to support. |

Family spa day
My mom NEVER does anything for herself. She always puts herself behind her family, even now that we are all moved out. She is the kind of mom who would buy thrift store clothes while making sure we all looked nice and paid for all the activities we ever wanted to be in. She has never asked or expected anything for birthdays or for Christmas and she discourages anyone from buying her anything. She has always worked extremely hard at her day job as a secretary and putting in long hours on the farm (she even earning the nickname "the Debinator" from all of us, but don't tell her). |

RESP for my nephew
I am going to be a first time aunt in April! I am beyond excited and I would love to start an RESP for my nephew so he doesn't have to worry about schooling when the time comes. In 18 years, who knows how much post-secondary education will cost! Don't want him to be all "poor student" like his aunty. |

Money to start my own little home food business.
I love cooking and am good at it. Everyone keeps telling me that I am wasting my talent, but getting assistance to do it is another matter. This has always been my dream. I don't work for a big salary, but I do my best with what I get. As a single parent of two, I can tell you it is very hard financially. I hear my children asking for things they need and I feel like I am somehow letting them down sometimes. I know with this little home business, I would be on my way to being a little more independent. All I am asking is a chance from you voters. Please help with what you can, even if it is not the amount I am wishing for. Anything would be a great help. Even if I am not successful, I still want to thank you for taking the time to read this. Thank you very much. God bless. |

Cuban cigars.
Well, I'm 18 years old, and in the United States I cannot buy Cubans, so the money would go toward a taxi ride to Canada to pick them up. I really need theses cigars because...well, who doesn't want Cuban cigars? They are the finest cigars that can be bought on the face of this earth by humans. I mean really, have you ever tried one, they are like godly. I need the smoky aroma in the air, the smoky toxins entering my lungs , that beautifully rolled, hand picked tobacco in my mouth. This would be the best Christmas gift ever. Dipping tobacco is mad boring and I am moving on with my life, and I would like my tobacco product to mature with me, and, let's face it the Cuban cigars are the great grandpappy of them all. My grandfather has told me stories about how great they are, and if only I was allowed to buy them around here. Please, make a friend happy. I really support communism, especially what the Cubans are doing over there, and really don't see why the government has a problem with what Castro is doing over there. I think he is doing a good job, he has everything under control over there. I NEED these cigars. |

An engagement ring.
My girlfriend and I have been together for about 3 years now, she is the most amazing thing in the world to me. Ive done everything for her, because she deserves the best, even though it requires me working at a crappy job working nights, just so I can get her what she deserves. I am currently saving up so we can get a place together, but it takes a while when your not making much money. It is alot harder to save up for a place, when I'm trying to save up for an engagement ring too. even though I will not be able to afford a really fancey expensive ring, I still wanna try my hardest to buy her one she deserves. She does everything for me, and I wanna be able to do the same for her. Even though the amount of money I need is alot, anything will help, so if my wish gets granted, I know it will make a big difference and I will be very happy, and I know when I finally am able to pop the big question, so will she. |

To open my own business one day.
Well, for start none of my parents had the opportunity to finish their educations. My mother only reached eleventh grade in high school when she decided to quit in order to provide a better way of living for me and my brother and sister. My dad, on the other hand, never even went to high school. So as I was growing up, my passion was to stop the cycle. However, how do you even try to better yourself if you from nothing. I tried to stay in school for many years. It had came to a point where I could afford to pay for my school. I know my parents did the best they could for us children. Now I'm a young woman with two of my own children to care for. I really don't want them to suffer the way I did. I want something way better for them. I tried everything; as far as an average job. Even held two jobs at times. It seems that nothing is working in my favor.The money I make can't even pay our bills. I can't afford to give my kids the simplest things in life. I know if I opened my own business, things can be a lot better than what the are now. Please help. |

Money to send my kids to camp.
I am a single mom of two kids ages 12 and 14 and they want to go to YMCA camp which is over $400 each, plus gear. We lost their dad to a car accident and now we have a budget that does not include enough for camp. I would like to go camping too, but I am not able because I do not know much about camping and did not get to go camping as a child. Thanks for taking time to read this. Bless you Becca PS- anything will help. |

A house for my family.
My name is Robert and I am living with my mother, stepfather, little brother (who is 8) and a little sister (who is 6 ). We all live in a very small apartment, 3 bedroom, living poorly. It's hard for us to get a home, because we don't have the good credit to afford one, and we need the money we can scrape for bills and such. I don't know how much a home is so I put $20,000. I know at least we would need enough rooms for each of us--or at least some legroom in general :) |

A trip to New York for my amazing girlfriend.
My girlfriend, Jena, is always doing for others and rarely takes time for herself. Over Thanksgiving she invited a friend, who could not go home for the break, to stay at her house. Well, this friend recently returned the favor by inviting Jena to New York to visit with her family over Spring Break. I thought she had won the lottery when she told me. Jena has always wanted to go to New York and this was her chance. However, she has recently hit some financially trying times and is afraid she may have to cancel the trip. I was devastated for her when I heard this news. I knew how much the trip meant to her, and I knew what she went through to be able to go. Like I said, she is always thinking of others, and because our anniversary falls the same week as this trip, she told me, with tears in her eyes, that she was going to cancel it so that she would not hurt my feelings by not being with me. I was flattered by this, but I know how much she wants to go and I realize that the best anniversary gift I could possibly give her is the trip she has always wanted. So I am asking for help to surprise Jena with a trip to New York for our anniversary. Thank you so very much and God Bless you all. |

A dream come true for my wonderful wife, an aspiring singer!
My wife Ieshia is a wonderful mother & wife... e... We have been married for almost 4 years now. We have 3 kids ages 3yrs, 2yrs and 2 months. Ieshia is very talented she sings, dances, writes poem, writes her own songs, teach, designs websites and more! The talent that she posses is to much to type. Her dream is to become a professional singer and rapper in the hip hop & r&b entertainment industry. She and her mom shared this same dream but her mom died just a few days after her 7th birthday.. so her mom didn't even get a chance to come close to realizing her dream! She is the only child and her dad has been in prison since she was four years old and she's now 22 yrs old. Her grandmother raised her after her mother's passing and her grandmother passed away 2 days after her 18th birthday on the day of her birthday party and her grandmother's funeral was on the same day as her prom... My wife has no sisters, brother, aunts, or uncles only cousins in her family and only 25 family members total. In Jan of 2005 my wife and I claimed that year as our season of blesings but in August hurricane Katrina graced our new orleans home and we lost everything we owned my wife had a album getting ready to come out, poster designed etc. But everything was destroyed in the katrina water even our master copies of her music, posters, album cover etc. On top of all this we were stuck in the New Orleans convention center for 4 days with little to no food, water or protection.. we had to run from gunshots with our kids constantly and could not sleep. My wife has rewritten her songs and also added a poem about what we went through in Katrina.... We have no music for her songs, no publicist, no money for studio time, no equipment as we had before to boost her career. We know what we need to buy and where we want to buy the equipment we just don't have the money... The website is [ link ] We need a keyboard, a wireless microphone, headset microphone, portable recording studio, midi cable, blank cd, cd jewel cases, cd duplicator (ebay.com) and gloss paper (officedepot.com) to print flyers etc ... Please help |

A classic Volkswagon Camper van.
This is my dream car. I'd love to get the money to buy one and tour around the Scottish Highlands over the Easter holiday with my flatmates :) and have a roadtrip around Europe when I finish my course. Too much student debt means I cant buy one myself, or afford to have a nice holiday in the foreseeable future. |

Cash dollar$, American, and just a buttload of 'em!

A trip to LA for my daughter (and me) so she can audition.
My 15 year old daughter, Danica, is the nicest girl ever. She's had a tough couple years as we try to get a diagnosis on her inability to absorb important vitamins. We go back and forth to Children's Hospital in Vancouver and she doesn't complain. Then she has to catch up her school work to maintain her 3.5 GPA. |

We could get caught up on our bills for once!
Why us? It's like this- you get up every morning, go to work, come home, get your child out of school. Then sit and wonder where your next bill payment is coming from, hoping another check doesn't go through and bounce. Hoping you can find enough money to buy a gallon of milk with and just wish with all your heart you could finally have $5 left out of a check. Hoping that one day you could take your child support check and buy something for your child that he needs, instead of paying a bill with it and still wonder where your next dollar for gas is. Wishing your fiance didn't have to work 7 days a week at 2 different jobs and still not have any money left to go shopping with, wishing that when a bill came in you could just pay it and not worry if we are going to be able to pay it or have a that certain thing shut off. Which happens a lot. Worrying if we are going to have electric or a phone or gas when we get home. Or getting a shut off notice in the mail. And to just be able to say "hey, you want to go somewhere for a day or so?" Wishing you had the money to put insurance on both of the vehicles and not just one. Wishing that instead of having to fight for everything you have and to be able to keep it together so your child doesn't know what's going on. And to say for once I knew we could do it, I knew we would be able to get caught up on everything once and for all. And to be able to walk up to the man of your dreams and say I am free to love you and be with you for the rest of my life. To have the father of your child out of the way to be able to actually love totally and freely! So hard to come up with the money for a divorce, to be free from a man who never loved you or even wanted a child to begin with. My fiance works 8 hours at one job 5 days a week then turns around and works another job 4 days a week, he is so tired all of the time. We never have any time together. He comes home and falls asleep. Really worried about him because his father who has had 13 heart attacks, but he is still alive, passing it along to his only son, and the man I love with all my heart and soul. Can't even get married because of an estranged husband won't pay for the divorce. Thanks, Camille and John McGinn |

A Mei Tai to let me hold my baby at night.
My wife just gave birth to a beautiful little baby girl. I'd like to get a Mei Tai baby carriers so that I can hold my baby late at night while still working on the computer. My baby won't sleep at night and so I'd like a way to get some work done while I stay up late with her. |

Pay off my non-functioning car.
I bought a used Saturn 4 years ago. It has given me nothing but trouble. A couple of weeks after Katrina hit the transmission broke for the second time. Over the years I've had to completely replace the starter and the brakes, one window, and two batteries, and rebuild the transmission twice. This car was a lemon from the get-go. Now it has finally kicked the bucket for good (they want $4700 to fix it). I give up. I still owe money on the car AND I have bad credit because my student loan is so much (otherwise, my credit would be good--I pay all my bills on time). To get a new car, which is a must where I live, I need to pay this one off first, but there's no way I can sell it for the amount I still owe on it--it's a total junker. What's particularly galling is that I pay a car note and insurance, but I still have to ride the bus to work. Public transportation in post-Katrina New Orleans is a joke (an hour and a half to go ten miles? C'mon!). I need $1500 to pay off this lemon of a car! Please take pity on me! Grant my wish! |

A chance not to go to jail.
With Simon & Garfunkel blaring in my mom's van, I barely heard the cop car behind me. me. 65 mph in a normal 40 mph zone. It was also a construction zone, so the speed limit was actually 25mph. That made for a $308 ticket. I do not have money to pay it, and will have to go to jail at the end of the month if I can not pay it. My mom is going to kill me, if I go to jail at age 19. I tried to get friends and family to help pay it, but no one has money. This is my last resort. |

Driving lessons and a new car for my family.
I am a single mother of three children. I am really in need of getting a car. I am 36 years old and I have been trying to get a driver's license and a car for 10 years. As old as I am I should have my drivers license by now but I don't. I have asked friends to help me to get my drivers license. They promise to help me, but they never do. I have even paid my friends gas money to fill the gas tanks of their cars if they help me out by allowing me to practice driving in their car and to go to get my driver's license, but after they get their tank filled, they go back on their word... I went to driving school, but I can't afford it, it's just not in my budget because it cost $60 an hour, being that it is the only one in town. I need $420 for 6 hours of driving instruction which also includes going to the DMV to get my license. Me and my three kids walk long distances everywhere we go. The buses runs until 9:00 at night in my town. I have to walk home every night from college or from work, which is not safe. I have a daughter with a medical condition who at times needs to go the doctor but I cannot always take her because we don't have the transportation to get there, so she remains at home sick and I take care of her the best I can. My youngest son was born with a twisted foot. He's had surgery on it but he can walk on his foot but only so far in distance before it starts to bother him. My friends and families are not always in the mood to give us rides. Me and my kids take the bus but living in the south where everything is stretched out in distance to where once you get off the bus in the cold or in extreme heat, we have to walk a very long distance and my daughter and son are not always able to do that. Please can somebody help me to help my family by helping us to to get a car? There is a car dealership in town that sells used cars for $3500.00 that has good mileage. the rest of the money I would put towards license, tags, and insurance. Whatever you can do to help me and my family to get on the road to a better life, so to speak, I would really really appreciate.... please help us |

Help getting my coffeehouse off the ground...
I've been struggling for years in a small town, trying to bring culture and music to my kids, all while having health and money problems.

peace of mind for my wife and new daughter
My wife and I have diligently been paying off the debts that we have so foolishly acquired over the years. We have come to the point where we are almost there but we still feel the crunching weight on our shoulders. $6000 would get rid of all the debt that is currently at a 18% rate. This would give us some peace of mind and motivation to pay the rest off after I finish my degree in December. I know a lot of other people are hurting much more than us, but a helping hand would go a long way in letting my wife sleep a little easier. |

Help with medical bills from plastic surgery gone bad
In 1990 I was in a really bad car accident. I was the only survivor from my car and was told that I would not live. I lost my older sister and a friends 6 month old baby. Its now 2007 and I am still here. I recently had reconstructive surgery on my hip and lower back. 3 weeks after the surgery they took the bandages off and to my suprise I still had the scars and also received a but lift and lipo on 1 side. They didnt do what I had went in for. Now I need to have the other side done and the insurance company will not pay for it. I was told that I cant sue the Dr for doing the wrong procedure because they are not sure what his plan was when he started and that I signed a consent for the procedure. So here I am with half a but and more health problems starting because of it. Please help. I dont know what I am going to do. |

a down payment for our first home.
My name is Tammy. I am living my dream of being a stay-at-home-mom. But because of this choice we are unable to save for a house. I have two beautiful little girls and a wonderful, hard working husband. Our big dream is to own our own house that we can raise our children in. Our credit is less than perfect and we have no extra money let alone just making it week to week on our bills. This would be such a wonderful prayer answered if we are chosen. Please help us live our dream! Thank you and god bless, Tammy. |

I hope to have the final money ready for him by the end of March at the latest. |

Help paying for an engagement ring
I had everything worked out. Saved the money. Ordered the ring. Figured out when and where and how I would propose.

Long Hair
The one thing I dislike about me is the fact that I have very thin and short hair. The normal response to this is "grow your hair out". But because it is so thin, when it does grow out, the bottom is looks unhealthy and blah, so I have to cut it again. I wish to do some amazing hair styles. To feel my hair brush against my back when it is in a pony tail. I had a fake pony tail and the first time I attached it to my 'stub' ponytail. I started crying. I want to get hair extensions like Paris Hilton's. I can get the inexpensive type but it will cause more damage to my hair. Please someone hear my cry and make one girl extremely happy! |

Money to help save my small business!
I am one of the owners of a small woman run business. We were sued 4 weeks into business by a competitor that wished to put us out of business. This was a untrue frivolous lawsuit designed to put us under before we could start and compete in the marketplace. 2 1/2 years later, on Oct 19th 2006, the lawsuit was dismissed. The plaintiff failed to take their court ordered deposition and failed to show for the first day of trial. My business barely managed to float and had to pay for approx $65K for our defense. This was hard times for a start up with no capital and resulted in having to take out a loan to stay in business (we still owe). My competitor has an F with the BBB and is still in business and continues to badmouth us, even now the lawsuit is over. I am proud that through the muck we built a beautiful A rated BBB business that helps organizations fundraise and small business grow. Our fundraising program offers something people want, like a massage instead of candy. Not only do we help schools and Nonprofit we help our small day spas grow their business by pairing them up to fundraise. I know we have a great concept and can really make it work, but what we need is an angel to help us out. We are still struggling to pull through the debt inured by the frivolous lawsuit. I know we are viable, I just don't know if we can survive the financial, and emotional drain it took to endure the last 2 1/2 years. We are tired and having to pay back that debt makes a daunting and stresssful future. Please check out my biz online at [ link ] Through this process we have become dedicated to giving back and hope to someday be involved with organizations that speak out for lawsuit reform. It is just not right that people can practically sue you for anything they make up and then not show to defend their position while the defendant still has to pay for the legal bills to defend themselves. I wish for money to help market our business so that we can let people know we are here. Some of this money will help to pay for our monthly loan bill or reduce it. If money is not a possiblity we would love the opportunity to tell our story on how small businesses are effected by the current law |

Groceries for my friends
I am permantly supporting a partner with Schizophrenia and AIDS. He cannot work and I pay all the bills, but he is a great guy so I don't care.

Things are a little tight, and I would like the money to really stock my pantry with bulk foods from Costco so I don't have to worry about keeping them fed so much. |

moving to new apartment security deposit
The roof in our apartment has been leaking for over six months. They say the building needs a new roof and every time it rains we get a stream of water coming down in our living room and bedroom. Management refuses to give us a break on the rent so we want to move to a much nicer community but need enough money to cover two month's security deposit plus first month plus a pet security deposit. We are moving at the end of our lease in February and are desperate because we may not have enough money to get out of our crappy apartment. Please help! |

A Way for all my Friends to have fun and "Excercise"
I wish I could provide a way for my friends and I to have a good time and "excercise". ise". Our college-age friends and my wife and I regularly have large get togethers, usually including food and games. We have recently gotten into DDR and occationally have fun as a group playing doubles DDR. However this requires us to borrow mats and a PS2 from other people, so we rarely get a chance to partake in this pasttime. Also DDR only allows 2 people from our often 20+ group parties to play at once. My dream would be to have a Nintendo Wii with 4 controllers so my friends and I can play games together and even get some "Excercise". I am an underpaid network technician, who was recently married, so I have no money to spend on such an item. Our friends and I would be so excited if our wish came true! Please Help us! Wii need you! Another reason I want this is because I have never had the chance to own a brand new Gaming console of any kind, I have always been too tight on cash, please help me fufill my dream of unboxing a Wii and calling it my own! If my wish doesn't come true i may turn into this guy!!!! |

Money to send computers to needy organizations
I'm with Geeks Without Borders and we're a good organization that wants to give a voice to people who really need one. I know this isn't about cars or trips or hawtness or anything, but I thought I'd give this a shot and hope that the people who are reading this on their computers can relate to how just how important access to information and communication really is. We really need a boost to keep our mission alive and give voice to the needy and disempowered around the world. |

To promote peace and unity to Urban Youth children
I am writting you all to join me in my fight to save this generation. I would like to tell you about me and how GOD changed my life. I was born into a family that never really loved me. My mother never showed me any love and left me at age 9 months.I was raised by my grandmother who left this world in 1996. I was lost and searching for someone to fill my heart. I turned to the wrong people and began doing drugs and drinking. I was a lost sheep. Upon moving to New York with my husband I was very depressed and tried to commit suicide. On Christams of 06 I was alone in my home wacthing a move called Kings of Kings when I felt a present like no other. I know it was Jesus. He assured me that I had a great call on my life and that all the things I went through so far was for a blessing for someone eles. I was A DAUGHTER OF DESNITY. A VESSEL TO GET MY GENERATION SAVED.Now I know many don't believe in God and probably don't want to keep reading but I urge you to hear what I have to say. Many people have told me I was stupid, I was dump and that I was never gonna be anyone but God had another plan and sent a man to me who told me that I was gonna be something great. I know am starting a site in New York called Battel Cry which is reaching out to christian youth or non Christian youth to save this world from the demonic presence. Please if you are interested in helping me on my mission fell free to check out the website [ link ] if you would like to join me on Feb. 9th 2007 meeting please e-mail me @jenn1816@yahoo.com. God bless you all. GOD IS LOVE, GOD IS JOY, GOD IS PEACE > |

A new digital camera for a striving, young photographer
I would like a digital camera so I can practice my dream of becoming a profesional photographer. I know I probably won't get many donations, but I would love nothing more than to be able to take professional photos and be able to practice everyday as I pursue my goal of being a professional photographer. Thanks so much! |

money to help with bills
I am a 49 year old single mom with fibromyalgia, chronic interstital cystitis, IBS, facet arthritis, degeneterive disc disease and a reverse curvature of my neck. I have 3 kids at home, 2 teenagers and one in a local college. I have tried to work and because of doctors visits..i always get fired. I tried for social security disability and got turned down. I was on pain medication for 5 years. I went off of all of it by Dec 31st. Jan. 1st I went through horrible withdrawals even though I went off my medication as per my doctors orders. I also found out I will need a knee replacement (Left knee). It is pretty much shot and the right knee is bad. Also had a 24 hour heart monitor and found out I had an irregular heart beat and tachocardia (spelling?). I'm getting an echo cardiogram and stress test on friday. I had to put things on my credit card and they are calling me all of the time. I need a wish come true. thanks so much for being here for people that need help. |

money to get through this bad spot my duaghter and I are in.
I am a great guy and a single dad and my auto billpay paid out several bills twice this month. I live month to month and this put me negative $1000.00 in my bank. My daughter and I are now teetering on the edge and I will not be paid again for a few weeks. I am not one to go begging, but I found this site just a moment ago and don't know what else to do. I know there are a lot of worthy causes here, but we are in a real crunch and I don't know what to do. |

A place to stay for two months.
I'm a university student who's mother has made it very clear that I am not allowed to return home for even a few days, much less two months in the summer. As much as I'm going to miss my friends at home and my dog, I can't fight her on this, I don't want to go back to her abusive environment. I need just enough money to pay for a cheap room just to get me through while I work for a couple months until I can go back to school in the fall. |

2 years of culture, language and martial arts in China
Hi! My name is Alex, I'm 19 years old and I'm short before my A-Levels. It's my dream to attend an Kung-Fu-School since ever. Now I found a offer from a Chinese martial-arts academy. Various Martial Arts and the language can be learned there! But (who'd have guessed?) I can't afford. It's not easy to earn money while preparing your A-Levels. So I ask YOU for help! I'm saving money for 2 years now. Your vote could decide my future life! Thank you! |

Trainig equipment
Hi there! |

help to launch my career.
I really want the chance to dance professionally in a ballet company overseas in europe. I don't want to ask my family for money to help fly me out there to move because they have already put so much into helping achieve my dream. I am dancing with a small youth ballet company currently but really want to take the next step forward into a larger more established company. I would really appreciate the opportunity and chance to be able to do so. It would honestly mean the world to me and I would always be thankful. What would be left over would go to my father and his family who paid for all my lessons over the years, it would only be right. And yes, I know this is A LOT of money to be asking for. But I wouldn't be asking if I didn't need it or had another way of trying obtain such a large amount. |

Food money and a computer
Recently my area was hit by a slew of winter storms, causing major road closings. I happened to be out of town when it happend and was unable to get to work for about a week. In turn I was fired from my job and had to move out of my house, when I finally got to town to move my belongings I found my computer had stopped working properly because ice had formed in the air and inside the computer. I am a programmer by trade and without a decent computer I am unable to make any money to get by, and I've been finding it overly hard to find a new job to get my life back in order. I've had to sell many of my belongings just to get a roof over my head. I would really do well with a new computer and some money to actually eat. |

Need a car (So I can give my best friends house back to him)
Out of the goodness of his heart, my best friend offered me a room in his house. My last employers company was taken down suddenly by the SEC. And the retion I lived in had no other job prospects for which I was qualified. I needed a few months to get my life together. I moved into my best friends house late last year. He does not charge me rent, but I do share grocery bills. I cook and clean for him, watch tv with him, and play WoW with him. But my unemployment money is almost gone, and I do not have a car to travel to a Network Operations Center job that is waiting for me. |

Digital Portastudio and Quality Microphones, plus Software!
I've been composing music with no real means of recording for years. I currently compose music for online games in MIDI format using Sibelius and other software. But this really doesn't forfill my composing desires! I want to be able to record the pieces I compose legitimately and really show the world what I'm capable of! :) That's where this wish comes in handy! |

moving money for my family
I live with my husband, who is a disabled artist, and teenage son in a one-bedroom, 24-by-24-foot house. We receive no funding from the government and survive on my income. We need a bigger place to live but coming up with first month's rent and security is looking more and more impossible due to car repairs, expenses for the kid, medical bills, et cetera. There are no busted cars or beer cans or mangy dogs in my yard--we are not that kind of poor people! If my wish were fulfilled it would substantially increase our quality of life! Thanks for reading! |

Funding uninsured kids for therapeutic summer program
I am the director of DreamBuilders2007, a therapeutic summer program for emotionally and behaviorally challenged kids in Western North Carolina. Last year, we began a trial program to see how many kids we could reach with intensive mental health interventions while having fun. All of the kids we serve live just above or below the federal poverty line, and yet not all of them qualify for Medicaid which paid for last year's service. Many kids are stuck within the state insurance system, which only allows for them to attend a few hours a month, hardly enough to make the interventions worthwhile. Also, by operating in a rural county, there are very few local outlets for the kids to explore their creativity and have the powerful learning experiences they need in order to recover and move out of the "system." We took a loss last year in linking to resources outside of the county; but we'd rather take a loss than deprive these amazing kids of a major growth opportunity. This year, we are also integrating parent activities in the program for the first time, and for one week they will be on their own "camp" experience and will learn cooperation and the adaptation skills that are needed to successfully parent kids with severe emotional and behavioral challenges. |

A new computer to work with.
I use my computer for everything, work and play. I've had this computer for roughly 5 years now, and my father had it for many years before me. Because of a lot of personal problems, I can't afford a new computer, and I've been wanting to get a new one for years now. I found out about this through a friend and figured: The worst that could happen is that I don't get my wish, and keep working with this half broken one. |

a trip to Europe for my 30th birthday
When I was 15, I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do before I turned 30, and the first one on the list was "Go to o to Europe." I've never been able to make that happen, and my 30th birthday is a month away. I'm a very lucky person- I had a beautiful wedding that has led to a happy marriage, and I've got a job with benefits. Heating costs and home repairs have eaten up all the money I'd been trying to stash for this trip, however. So, I'd like to go to the UK with my husband for 4 or 5 days in the month between my 30th birthday and his 30th birthday. I'd like to stay in a little bed-and-breakfast for a couple of nights. I'd like to eat in a pub and have a few pints. I'd like to gawk at tourist attractions in whatever country we end up in. I'd like to say, "Look, kids, Big Ben" a bunch of times and drive my husband nuts. Mostly, I just want the opportunity to get away with my husband in a place neither of us has ever been. There is something so purifying in traveling, how the falling back of the familiar makes you really look at yourself, that would match perfectly with a milestone birthday like 30. |

A chance for a new theatre company, a good teacher
My wife has started a new theatre company which has struggled to live beyond its first year. We support the audience's ability to think for themselves and to take in live performances as opportunities for reflection - not just entertainment. P.O.V. Stage Company (Point of View) is an effort to also involve a community with a theatre company that can teach students and give other artists locally a chance to work at producing plays that then bring people together after - to talk, to argue, to exchange and to let the idea of art truly deliver on its potential. That potential is in empowering people in their ability to see the world they live in more richly by way of the stage. Unfortunately, P.O.V. has been subject to the competitive world of entertainment, especially locally in Northeastern Massachussetts, and funding for the two high school drama teachers who have founded the group (my wife and her friend) has come entirely out of pocket. |

Happy Home Boarding for my Sheltie puppy Meche
Where will our puppy Meche stay? My husband and I need to go to Spain for work (and a little play) for two weeks. We don't have local family who can take care of our very fiesty 1-year-old Sheltie puppy Meche, and we don't want to leave her in a kennel for such a long time. We would love to be able to home board her with a local family, who was watched her before, so that she can play and be happy and spend 24 hours a day wrestling and making out with her best friend Maurice, who is a Dachshund. But we really want to be able to pay Maurice's family, as looking after those two puppies combined is a heck of a job. So this $750 would go to a very sweet couple for giving our beautiful little Meche a home away from home for two weeks. |

A flight to New Zealand to surprise my parents

To start a savings account for my daughter
I'm a stay at home Mom, and I really want to open a savings account for my daughter. I had some money saved for it, but I had to use it to pay bills when my husband quit his job for a new one. To open an account takes $300, but if I can get back what I had saved and had to spend I think I can come up with the rest. |

Winning Destruction Derby Car.
It's a bit scary but it's something new. This is one thing I want to do in life and you can make it a reality for me. I will run in a derby in California and paint it with robinhoodfund.com to get the name out their and help other people get their wishes granted. Also, if I win I'll paint every name of the people who vote for me on the car somewhere. You will see the video on youtube. If I do win the derby, chances are not good, I'll give the winnings back to robinhoodfund to pass on another wish. Thank you for your consideration. Take care. |

A New Computer!
My computer is really trashy, it's actually my sisters. We've had it for about 6 years, and I can't play all the games I would like to. I'm also a programmer, and this would help me multitask and speed up development of games. A poor man plus a bad computer? Nothing is really going to happen. Please Help me! |

Digital Camera, Canon Rebel xti-ish...
I've been wanting to move my career back towards photography and film making, and art in general (specifically relating to the music industry). I've been itching for a real camera, since my ancient 35mm camera ate and destroyed my last series of shots I took, and figured it might be time to make the move to a nice digital. |

A new laptop
I've ambitions to move away and be a successful person, like everyone dreams of being someday. I know that at first the grind will be tough and that most likely a 9 to 5 job won't pay all the bills. Here, is where the laptop comes into play. I've been studying and practicing Web Design and Computer Programming for a few years now, but I never had grades for a scholarship, and my parents don't have money for college. And I believe that freelance programming is a sure way to make sure I land on my feet! |

A Nintendo DS and a japanese version of Pokemon Diamond.
My parents sold drugs until I was 9 to keep food on the table, they both died in a car crash when I was 12. Now my 16 year old sister has to take care of me with her two jobs at McDonalds and Andy's. I haven't had anything more than $15 worth at christmas for 4 years now, since my parents died, and I just want this. |

My mother to be able to pay for her bills while recovering.
I don't make enough money to help out my mother. She was in a car accident in 2005 while working in the Katrina disaster area for a government agency. The lady who hit my mother head-on, died in the accident, and others were involved. Unfortunately the lady was also a victim of someone else's poor judgment and was sideswiped causing her to spin into oncoming traffic. My mother had most of her right side broken from the impact, and some back injuries. The Workers comp tries to fight her on everything, and she is having a hard time getting the rest of the surgeries that she needs to be able to work again. So while she fights for disability and the surgeries keep getting pushed back, I would love to help pay off some of her debts and bills. She has been involved with non-profit organizations since I can remember, and has helped my brother and I out a lot through our life. It would just be an awesome feeling to be able to help her when she needs it. |

A better life by moving out of New Orleans
I'm trying to give my family a better life by moving them out of New Orleans. I need a car to do this because we will be leaving New Orleans for good or at least for a few years or however long it takes for New Orleans to get back to normal....My wife AND I HAVE BOTH SECURED JOBS IN ATLANTA, GA WITH JMENTERTAINMENT AND THE ATLANTA GET CRUNCK TV SHOW! We came back only because we heard that the job market was booming, but when we arrived and tried to get jobs we couldn't so that rumor we'd heard was untrue...On top of that the city is still in bad shape...my mom gave me this car only because it was flooded by katrina... interior was mildew and engine had to be repaired by the grace of God I had a friend that could repair it for me for free! All it's missing is headlights.. I have 3 kids ages 2yrs, 3yrs, & 2 months... Our family is scattered due to katrina so we have noone to bring us to appts., make groceries etc... We can't possibly drive the car without headlights.. |

A trip back home (Nepal) for my husband
My husband and I have been married for 3 months now. He is from Nepal and hasn't been back home for over 3 years. He came to the US to go to college but had to stop going in order to pay for his sister to go to school in India and help pay other bills. Every time he talks to his mother she asks when he's going to bring me and he (jokingly) says "maybe after 2 or 3 kids" to which she replies "i just want to see her once, please bring her". I especially want the chance to go because his mom doesn't speak any english, and can't speak Nepali (yet) and it would be easier to build some sort of relationship with her if i could see her! We are trying to save money so that I can actually meet his family but its going to take a long time since I am a full time student and he is working 12 hrs a day. The last check he got went straight to his family in Nepal. I love the fact that he is such a giving person but I know supporting his entire family plus paying his own bills is very stressfull on him. I would love to be able to surprise him with something so important to him and ease his responsibilities, if only for a short time. I think going home would revitalize him and give him hope for the future. I know how much he misses his parents and I think this would be such a blessing to him, that way all the money we save could be used for his sister's school and hopefully start saving for him to go to school as well! |

Food, heat and shelter
Two weeks ago, I was struck by a car while riding my bicycle home. I was lucky and only suffered a sprained shoulder and whiplash, and my bike had only minor damage. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work or return home due to my lame arm, and I'm down to my last 2 dollars. I only need to get by until I can retrurn to work, but with no money it's making day to day life miserable, and my diet isn't helping my shoulder heal ant faster. Friends have tried to help, but I'm still just barely able to feed myself day to day, and I'm running out of couches to surf. A financial boost like this would get me through this tough time warm and fed, instead of cold and hungry, as I am now. |

A CHANCE TO GO BACK HOME TO NEW ORLEANS KATRINA SURVIVOR
If my wish is granted I will use the money to replace some of the items lost in the flood waters of the hurricane. My wife and I had a home based bussiness that was totally wiped out. It was my source of income. All of our possessions on the first floor were destroyed as well as every piece of clothing I owned. It is my hearts desire to return to my home town. I really could use the entire amount but don't want to seem greedy. No one really knows what we are really going through and the government which is really responsible is not taking responsibility for what has happened. We are not being made whole. I would also use some of the money to find a place to stay our home was taken back by the mortgage company because we could not make the mortgage payments. Granting this wish would be greatly appreciated. |
