Hello to all contributors! I am in desperate need of help with rent money for the month of October, which is pass due, and November 2011 is just around the corner. I am from West Hartford, CT. 44 years old, been unemployed since June of this year, and have had no luck in finding a job. I'm depressed and don't have family or friends to turn to. I have always been self-reliant but for the past 3 years, financially, It has been painful struggling, some days I just feel like giving it all up... don't ask me what that means because I don't know or won't know until it happens... I need to raise $800 by Nov. 10th, 2011, or my landlord will evict me from her property. If you can donate $10, $20, $40, $60, $80, or $100 today to help me get caught up on my rent, the generous gesture would be memorable and forever appreciated. If you have the means to help make someone, (a complete stranger) life better, then please try to help me... I'm no good at asking or begging for help because I grew up with no one to help me make it in the world, which made me look inward for help... Now its seems that I may be running out of self-empowerment, self-luck, I'm not sure why, I am the most caring person, honest, law abiding citizen with a big heart, a humanitarian. It seems I always give help but no one is ever there to help me... So here I am with frustration, trying to get help from complete strangers and the likelihood they would help me is slim and none, but it doesn’t hurt for me to try...HERE IS WHAT I DO KNOW, IF YOU ARE READING MY POST, IT IS LIKELY YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN HELP...IF SO, DON'T LEAVE MY POST WITHOUT DOING SO. IF YOU DO HELP, I GUARANTEE SOMEONE WILL RETURN THE FAVOR, IT COULD BE ME! Just click on this link to send your donation to my paypal sponsor acct, they have various methods to use to send your payment:

Thank you very much for your help, I am honored to be amongst mutual friends and humanitarians...

Hello there.
I am a ninth grader from Oak Lawn, IL. A few months ago, I received a letter from People to People Program for about the fifth time and I am convinced I cannot go once again because of the cost of the trip. I am hoping that I can find some financial aid to help me finance this trip and that I could finally go. I am a good student. I have mainly all A's and all classes that can possibly be honors, I am in. I also am a swimmer for my high school. I am an independent and mature person. I was raised by two immigrant parents and have learned from my Polish culture as well as how to achieve the best and most importantly work hard in life. If anyone that is interested to help me, I would extremely appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm not really sure if this is the right forum or not.  My foster child began cheerleading this season, and it is very costly.  I am looking for sponsors for her.  It is a 503c organization, so all donations are tax deductible.  If you can help, or know someone who can, please respond.  We are in FL.

I wrote earlier about the help I need , but I dont know how this works if any one is interested in

helping out at all his blog page is helpcolterout.blogspot.com  please check it out we really really need some help.

hi im a 20 year old south african, previously disadvantaged looking for help in finding funding or sponsorship towards pilot training costs. I would be deeply greatful to be given an opportunity to persue my life long dream. Thank you

hi I'm albert from Philippines! is there anyone out there who can help me with my problem? I really want to study and work in the UK, but I don't have any idea on how or where to start. Please help the less fortunate people like me. I am a very hardworking, skilled & talented person and I have some ambitions in life, I suffered so many times trying to get what I want, I am currently working as a layout artist here in our country, and I help and support my family, my salary is not enough for our daily expenses and monthly bills that's why I wanted to work abroad and study as well so that I can find a highpaying job and help support my family, I badly need a sponsor from UK to help me get a student visa and help me land a job, I would like to ask some financial support for the processing of documents and for the travel costs and I really can't afford any of those. I can only afford to work with my papers here in our country, I only have limited budget for that and I don't have any savings left. I promise I will pay everything in return to all the help and support provided (with interests), It's greatly appreciated. I am really desperate and I will do anything just to reach my goals in life. I do hope there's someone out there, I'm really looking forward to find a kind hearted person that can help me. God Bless you all!

Hellow.................

I am Ferdaus mohd. Altaf Hossain (DVM, MS in Microbiology) searching sponsorship to convey my PhD. on Molecular Microbiology (Virology prefered) in UK. But due to lack of sponsorship availability I am really unable to pursue that. I have practical knowledge on Avian Influenza virus (H5N1) in aspect of Isolation and Molecular Detection. So, I want to construct the infectious clones of H5N1 and for that I have badly inneed economic support.

After ensuring sponsorship i may get admission in The University of Liverpool or anywhere in UK.

In my academic aspect, I was the top most scorer (CGPA) both in DVM and MS level. I was the fellow of NSICT (Bangladesh) for H5N1 research.

There are many awards that I recieved like Dean Award, BSC Award etc.

I am free from any cultural complexities.

I am very hopeful to get that from the generous person.

Hello,

I am Sondang Mulia. I'm 23 years old. I'm from Indonesia. I have graduated from Mission College, an international well-known college in Thailand, majoring in Biology. I am a fresh graduate because I graduated on May 2008. 

I have been looking for a sponsorship to study for my masters in medicine, medical field, dentistry, dental care, public health, or science related-kind of program. During my college study, I have worked to earn money as lab assistant and lecturer assistant, so I could get pocket money. Furthermore, I have worked as a substitute teacher to get me an experience in teaching.

As my organizational experiences, I have joined the student council for two years; I have been a director of drama club for four years; I have been the president of science club for a year; and I have been a member for international club, basketball club, and photography club.

Right now, I applied to work in Singapore as a science teacher while waiting for a sponsorship to continue my study. I will start working on January 2nd, 2009. However, I still look forward to getting a sponsorship.

If you are willingly giving the sponsorship to me, please let me know and you can contact me through my email: sondang29@gmail.com. Any other information as needed, you can inform me so I can send the CV and other necessary information.

Thank you for your help and kindness.

Global Civic Preservation is a social and economic non-profit organization in Metro-Atlanta and in Ghana-West Africa.

We are currently seeking funding to fulfill our mission in the areas of youth development as well as social and economic empowerment in third world countries (Ghana-West Africa).  We have an array of programs and services to offer but need the proper funding to facilitate these programs.  All Global Civic Preservation (GCP) programs and services empower individuals for individual wellness; to stimulate economic growth; to have a more promising future for generations to come.

Please visit our official website at www.globalcivicpreservation.org for more information.

Global Civic Preservation Inc. (GCP), a non-profit organization founded on civic, social and economic principles, concentrates with tenacity on the identification and resolution of twenty-first century youth development, social matters, economic imbalances and challenges as they affect our local and global society.

The organization operates in two sectors (Local Youth Development and Global Missions).  The Local Youth Development Program was developed from experience and interaction with local youth, statistical analysis, observation, research and surveys completed on Metro-Atlanta and local youth.  Global Civic Preservation is concentrated on empowering, educating, challenging and motivating Metro-Atlanta youth through various activities, programs and events while demonstrating and educating on civic responsibility both locally and globally. GCP is working in collaboration with the local school systems, local authorities, government, community, organizations and corporations fulfil the vision and mission. The derivative of this program was launched from the alarming rate of local high school drop-outs, drug trafficking and usage, domestic crime among youth, pessimistic influence, lack of structure and guidance and various problems within our homes and communities.   Several programs and services within each sector will be utilized as a resource and a method of development for the other. These two sectors of the organization create opportunity for the other and will provide insight on civic responsibility while promoting cohesiveness and unity for a common goal of individual wellness and a brighter global economic future.

The Global Missions sector of the organization is sanctioned to research and develop programs and services to facilitate global empowerment to those that are in economically oppressed areas of West Africa.  More specifically Global Missions will aid in the economic development of Ghana, West Africa where economic imbalance and challenges can be easily recognized as economic oppression, poverty, malnutrition, starvation, social and academic deprivation, lack of development and progression from a civil and economic perspective.

Global Civic Preservation (Global Missions) has developed an intervention initiative to address these major concerns.  Through intervention GCP will help eliminate the perpetuating cycle of economic oppression, helplessness and global poverty, while empowering individuals with knowledge, education and employable skills.  The agenda set forth is to preserve our global society by consistently and diligently collaborating with local and foreign governments, The United Nations, corporations, businesses, educational institutions, faith-based and other non-profit organizations and individuals to provide resources and services to establish and maintain structured programs and opportunities to empower those in our society that aren’t awarded these opportunities due to economic oppression and challenges. 

 Global Civic Preservation’s initiative is to invest in citizens, communities (both urban and rural), regions and nations by empowering with knowledge, employable skills and opportunities while alleviating the rate of oppression, poverty, famine, unsanitary conditions and epidemic diseases.   This initiative also incorporates both local and foreign community involvement, affiliations and alliances with educational institutions, faith-based and other non-profit organizations to facilitate the organization’s vision.
As a non-profit organization, obtaining a permanent place in the civil / social economic development sector is our primary goal.  We wish to acquire international renown within the next few years. We see it as our main mission to provide high quality service to the targeted markets. Our basic objectives are reflected in our programs, services and work ethic, which is to contribute to the enrichment of the quality of lives for people globally.

The local region of Ghana, West Africa has seen a significant amount of economic oppression to include, homelessness, malnutrition, starvation, disease, social and academic deprivation that requires the attention, dedication and tenacity of a non-profit organization such as Global Civic Preservation.  The ongoing and overwhelming concern expressed by residents, government, organizations and the United Nations has stimulated GCP to assist in the economic, social, civic and academic efforts in the Ghana vicinity.

The government in Ghana, West Africa has initiated an agenda to improve education, infrastructure, health services and community development and Global Civic Preservation’s commitment, dedication and expertise in these areas is aptly suited to provide assistance and guidance in these affairs.

GCP in it’s effort to reform, develop and revitalize communities, cities and villages in the Ghana region, has a requirement  to receive and administer funds for educational, social, developmental and research purposes; and to that end take and hold by bequest, devise, gift, purchase or lease, either absolutely or in trust, for such objects and purposes or any of them, any property, real, personal or mixed without limitation as to amount or value except such limitation, if any, as may be imposed by law.

GCP is organized and shall be operated exclusively for charitable, educational and civil / social purposes, including, for such purposes the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In furtherance of these purposes, the purpose of GCP shall be to:

•  Stimulate major voluntary financial support from friends, corporations, foundations, and others for the sole benefit of empowering other individuals and communities globally.
• GCP shall be responsible for the identification of potential donors, nurturing relationships, solicitation of gifts of cash, securities, real and intellectual property, and other forms of direct support; and the acknowledgement of gifts and all ongoing responsibilities related to such gifts.
• GCP shall receive, invest and administer funds, subject to such restrictions as have been imposed by the donor thereof on the use of the principal and income of such funds.
• Conduct such other activities and/or business for all other purposes that may be lawfully carried on or performed by a corporation formed under the Non-Profit Corporation Law of Georgia.

Our organization is currently seeking funding and sponsorship to fulfill our mission, objectives and aims for youth development, empowerment and individual wellness both locally and internationally.
