<![CDATA[So heres the deal. We are husband wife with 2 children.My husband was injured on the job in June 2006 and was out of work for almost 8 mths after battling from staph and bone infection.He returned to work after that and was allowed to work for 2 weeks and then was let go and was told he was not needed anymore.During the 8mths we tryed to hold on to everything.We went through our savings,money for a wedding and still had to borrow from family.But the end result was we just couldnt hold on and had to let eveything go from our vehicles to our home. My husband found a job pretty quickly that even offered dental and things were going well. We had started seeing a dentist and with out notice his company shut there doors.He has gotten another job but the company he is working for does NOT offer any type of medical or dental.My teeth are so bad that anything I eat sends pain up my body.Im am in the need of quite a few fillings.Especially in my front teeth as I can actually feel the cavity holes getting bigger.Then you have my 11year old daughter.She is a wonderful kid great grades but depressed and has very bad self esteem. She is not in need of fillings but braces.The dentist we were seeing said she has the worse teeth he has ever seen.She dont smile and it is affecting her self esteem greatly.She is very embarrassed.We had planned on trying to have both of our teeth fixed by Christmas but without some help its not gonna happen.We dont have alot of money as we are like lots of other people that struggle week to week to pay bills to keep them from being disconnected.I do understand that dental offices do offer payment plans but with bad credit due to the injury they cant do anything for us.I would be able to pay a SMALL monthly amount but not much. If you can help or know anyone or any place that could please let me know.I would really like to make this happen for my daughter as she has been through so much with watching everything we had be taken away. I was just like to brighten her day and to see her smile.Thank you very much.]]>

<![CDATA[Please take a minute to fill out this quick traveler's questionnaire at this link: <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ezJBxuIjMDjPuBK9bLfZuQ_3d_3d" rel="nofollow">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ezJBxuIjMDjPuBK9bLfZuQ_3d_3d</a> Background of the survey: We are a group of students at the New School Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA) in NYC. We are doing a project with ECPAT-USA, which is part of a global network of organizations and individuals working together for the elimination of child prostitution, child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes. Our project examines the role that the travel industry plays in preventing child sex tourism. We're trying to get a better idea of the awareness and opinions of travelers. Little research has been done on this issue, so we put together our own survey. Child sex tourism is the commercial sexual exploitation of children by men or women who travel from one place to another, usually from a richer country to one that is less developed, and there engage in sexual acts with children, defined as anyone under the age of 18. Also, feel free to send this around to friends - the more answers we get, the better. Thanks! ]]>

<![CDATA[I am looking for something My husband and I and our children can do to volunteer somewhere for the holidays? We have 7 children and this year we are having a hard time we both lost our jobs and well finding a job isnt as easy as it sounds. So we are not able to buy for our children for christmas. Other than we bought them all 1 gift each. We thought since we were having a hard time that we would teach them the true meaning of Christmas this year. Its not about what you get but about giving and making a diferance in someones life. Our children are 17(g) 15(g) 12(b) 5(g) 4(b) and we have a 2(b) and 10 month (b) but they are little and dont understand anyway. To often theese days children are too selfish and we dont want to raise our kids that way. So instead of feeling sorry for our selves and not being able to go buy them whatever they wish we want to make a differance.If any one knows of a place please let me know. We will be giving them a bigger gift than we could ever buy in a store. Thank you and GOD BLESS]]>

<![CDATA[Hi There! Every winter my son and I do a special holiday project to help kids just like him who are less fortunate. This year, he decided that one of our projects he would like to do is collect coats for the foster and adoptive care coalition here in St. Louis! Very few coats have been donated so far and he really wants to help keep kids warm and safe! If your children have coats that they have outgrown this year, we would be glad to collect them. If you would like to donate a new coat that is welcomed as well- but mainly I thought by collecting outgrown coats there would be a better chance for us to get quite a few together and it would teach him such a great lesson that one kid can make a difference!

<![CDATA[I need a Christmas Angel. I realize Christmas comes every year on the same day. I also realize all year long savings should be put aside for the holidays. This year due to job losses that was not able to happen for us. We are a hard working family and did find jobs however our income is about half of what it was. This leaves us barely able to pay our bills and put food on the table. So now I am asking for a Christmas Angel to help us with Christmas for our kids. Although we have taught them the ture meaning of Christmas it still would be nice for tihem to have something to open on Christmas. Please contact me if you would like to help or have any ideas.]]>

The shelters are full..others are strays..please help us help them find their way! We are a 501 C non profit rescue group that is in DIRE need of foster homes and volunteers to "sponsor" a dog. Foster homes need to understand that this is a committment! To bounce these dogs to and from home to home isn't fair to them. EXPOSURE is a must as by going to adoption events is how these pups find their families! We provide all vetting and when donations allow provide food as well. Most dogs coming from the high kill shelters are NOT potty trained. Yet these pups are so eager to please that they often train very quickly. Make no bones about it..these guys know that they've been saved. Sponsors are needed to be a dog's buddy by taking them to and from adoption events! We have dogs that are 100% adoptable and just need that exposure to meet their forever family! Please help us help them! ]]>

<![CDATA[ Our Dojo, as part of our dedication to serving our community, is offering free self defense seminars for women of any age and group size in Illinois. We have several well trained and experienced instructors of differing backgrounds to teach you. Taking a realistic approach to self preservation...teaching real world techniqes that don't rely on years of study and practice, or useless ideas such as high kicks or groin kicking, those things just don't work. Over 50 years of training is crammed into us as a group, from traditional and non-traditional martial arts to special forces and police training,and one of us has put together an idea of defense after teaching it in Chicago for many years. It'll be lot's of fun, we'll teach you some extremely effective techniques that hopefully you'll never have to use, but in case you do, we'll rest easier knowing you'll be safer after our time together. We can come to you, or we can arrange time at the Dojo in Lebanon, Il. Thank you, and look forward to working for you.

<![CDATA[Your smile, companionship, and a few hours a month can improve the quality of someone’s life, including yours. Volunteering for hospice is a rewarding experience. As a hospice volunteer, you will be trained by team members on the hospice concept and philosophy, bereavement, medical aspects of hospice care, confidentiality, documentation, and much more. Volunteers provide friendly visits to patients and families in their homes and at nursing homes. You can help by sharing conversation, listening to someone's stories and special memories, sitting quietly with someone so they are not alone, holding a hand, reading, sharing news and current events, writing letters, laughing and listening. However, many times the most important thing the volunteer offers is the gift of their presence. Qualifications are being 16 years of age, TB testing at no cost to you, passing criminal background checks, and having a desire to give back, listen, and comfort others. Please consider joining us for our next training session and learning all hospice has to offer our communities. Volunteers work flexible hours, in areas of their choice close to home, school or work, and are needed across Florissant and Norht County. Hours are flexible, and include days, evenings and weekends, ranging between an hour a week to an hour a month, however we understand each person's circumstance and availability is unique, and some give more or less time as they are able. To learn more about this rewarding opportunity contact Anna Lehrke, Volunteer Coordinator for Pathways Community Hospice at 636-733-7399 or respond by email to this posting. ]]>

This year the volunteers will work with the people of the village to protect the sea turtle, by collecting eggs, burying them in the turtle camp, taking care of the baby turtles and doing some work collecting statistical information about the turtles. In this frame a group of international volunteers will be involved in the project, as members of the staff, which means that the volunteers will be very involved in the project and the work. The goal of this project is to protect the turtles and to help run the conservation activities of the protection turtle program promoting the international cooperation and international solidarity. The main work consists in collecting turtle eggs, burying them again in a secure place, and transporting the baby turtles safely to the sea. This will be carried out mostly at night, together with the people from Colola Village. They are the people who will work with the group and explain what to do. For this camp we will need very motivated volunteers who really want to get involved with the work of protection of the turtle. There are also some extra activities to do with the local people - to help improve the town like putting names of the streets, helping to arrange a multi-use playground and maybe some cleaning work. The official language of the workcamp is English. Some Spanish would be appreciated.

<![CDATA[We now have 4 wonderful people that are cleaning our cages during the week. I am now trying to recruit some weekend warriors for the reserves. I'm asking for 4 people/teams to work one weekend a month (3 whole hours - Friday, Saturday, Sunday) taking care of our rescued cats at Petsmart. These cats are wonderful and promising future family members. They just need a little help with their cages to keep them presentable. My testimony: Volunteering turns your life around. This time last year, I had had a rough couple of years that were emotionally exhausting and nothing ever seemed to go right. Since I started volunteering for the rescue from where I adopted my cat, Billy the Kid, things have turned toward the positive. I don't know if my reaction to life has changed because I feel good about helping or if because I am giving out love and assistance to these animals that need it, but it's coming back to me many times over. I don't worry about anything anymore. It seems like whenever I need something, I don't even have to ask. Whether it's God or the universe or just pure luck, it feels great to do something good. A local rescue is seeking volunteers to help maintain the cat cages at the Petsmart at Chippewa and Kingshighway. If you give us 1 hour each week, I promise it won't even seem like work. These are rescued animals from a high-kill shelter and showing them off at Petsmart is a great way for them to get public exposure so they can get adopted and find forever homes. We can only keep them there with your help. Also, if you want to bring a friend and split the work - that's fine with us. The more the merrier. One person can play with the cats while the other one cleans the cages. The time will go by fast. If you want to see how it works before committing to the time, let me know, I can meet you there and show you the ropes. I always tell people that I compare it to rocking babies in a nursery – you get to hold the babies and so what if you have to change a few diapers… The peace is therapudic. Reply via email or contact Elaine at 314-645-1767. Full training provided. Flexible Hours. We need your help! Please be 18 or over. Thanks! ]]>

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.vaops.com/images/rainforestlight.jpg" style="float: left; padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 5px;"> It is not that uncommon to hear the phrase save the rainforest, but this means more than just stopping the bulldozers.

Perhaps individuals, corporations, and governments wouldn’t be so quick to exhaust their natural resources if they saw any other option.
