We have a buddy that needs to raise $35, 000 to get out
of debt after being laid off. This would give her
the new start life since there are not many jobs in this area
she could move and start over. I would really prefer to assist
her and start a web site for donations, even when people just gave a dollar, you receive enough people plus it
could change lives..
