Hi to all,
Sorry for bothering you again. I sent my request some days ago but the
dead line for my debts has already passed. It is not a joke I started
to be afraid of what will happen to me. I know its difficult times so
I don't ask for donations -although they would be more than welcome. I
just need someone to lend me the 2500 euros so that I can pay off my
debt. I can make payments of 100/month. I am willing to pay interest
but I can't afford prepayment for fees. I have already been diceived
and sent them payment as "loan security" and they dissapeared.
Please help me. It is more than important for me. I am in big trouble
and noone is willing to help.
for donations please use the link below. For loan offer please send me
an e-mail at nondas72@ymail.com

Thank you for your attention

Single Income Family Man Needs Your Help Now
We are a single income family of 4. We have no insurance for medical
or dental. We have been struggling the last few months just to keep
our heads above water and haven't gotten to the point where if we
don't get some kind of help, we are going to sink. There is nowhere
and no one that we can turn to, so I am gonna give this a try.
These are the things I need help with. If these things are taken care
of, then we can get back on our feet and breath a little.
1. Everything we own that is worth anything has been pawned-to get it
back will cost about $500
2. Had to take a title loan on the car-borrowed $600 payback will run
about $1600
3. 4 tires for car-about $400
4. Dental work for me before I lose all my front teeth-7 fillings
will run about $1400
If I had somewhere else to turn or some solution of any kind I would.
This is my last resort. Like I said, these are the things that I NEED
taken care of to catch us up and put us on the right track. I have a
9 and a 7 year old that I have to depend on other people giving them
clothes, as for us 2 adults we are wearing clothes that are anywhere
from 3-10 years old. We always put the children first.
I do what I can to help others (give clothes, provide rides, etc.) I
just can't seem to catch a break myself.
Any little bit will be greatly appreciated.

Patient with Fungal Disease Mucormycosis Needs Help For Treatment
Patient struck with rare disease, needs your financial contributions.
"Dear Friends,
Our father Mr. Mangaloo Ram, belonging to Bilaspur city in the state
of Chhattisgarh in India, is suffering from a very rare disease
Mucormycosis. This disease is a fungal infection and affects the
sinuses and invades the brain. It is life-threatening and the cost of
treatment is highly expensive. He is currently undergoing treatment at
Apollo Hospitals, Bilaspur, India.
In our father’s case, it has already invaded the brain. The treatment
involves the administration of anti-fungal and antibiotic injections.
As I have mentioned, the cost of treatment is very high, which
approximately is as high as $1000/day (One thousand dollars per day)
and the treatment period ranges from 6 to 8 weeks. We have been
getting him treated for the past two weeks. We are left with around
$10,000 (Ten Thousand dollars approx.). The only positive thing we see
now is that our father’s condition is improving, but the unfortunate
aspect is that we are left with resources for a maximum of ten days.
Beyond this we will not be able to continue the medication until
unless some financial support comes to our rescue.
We need an assistance to treat him for a further period of 5 weeks
which will involve a cost of $35,000 (Thirty Five Thousand Dollars),
which to us is, at present, beyond imagination. Hence, it is our
sincere request to the global fraternity to donate generously towards
the treatment of our father. The entire funds received will be spent
on his treatment. Surplus funds, if any, would be used to set up a
charitable trust which will fund the treatment of the people in need.
We request you to donate not out of sympathy, but with the trust that
your money is being spent towards a genuine cause. Those who are
unable to contribute financially can contribute by sending their
blessings and prayer for the quick recovery of our father.
The credentials of the patient can be verified with Apollo Hospitals,
Bilaspur by calling at the below mentioned contact number:
Contact No. : +91-7752-243300
In-patient ID no. : 61830
Patient Name: Mr. Mangaloo Ram Yadav
We will ensure an update to every contributor with the progress of our
father’s condition on a weekly basis.
All donations can be sent via Paypal.

Unemployed and Uninsured Wants Money for Medications and Bills
Find a way to help this person.
"Hi everyone,
I left my job a month ago because the conditions there were too much
to handle. I suffer from severe social and generalized anxiety as well
as depression. Only recently have I started taking meds, because I
couldn't find a clinic that serviced the uninsured.
I tried to apply for unemployment, but was denied and now I only have
1.70 in my checking account. Currently I need money for my Paxil

Your Help is Needed Here: Find a way to help this family stay in their home
I would not be posting this if it were not for my daughter, a 20 year
old cancer fighter who has been sick most of her life. I am risking
ridicule from family and friends for going this route, but my fear
overrides my need for popularity.
We have reached a point where, due to lay offs and ungodly amount of
bills we are on the cusp of losing our house, utilities and we are
struggling to keep food in the house. I have just been hired full time
after years of frustrating contract work and things are looking like
they might start to level out. However, it will be weeks before I see
a check and I already have disconnect and termination notices. We are
in desperate need of assistance to make sure we get through the next
few weeks. We simply will not make it otherwise.
I will not post a specific amount. Needless to say it is substantial
in an economy like ours. I do not want to generate that kind of
pressure. Anything helps.
Please understand that any help provided will be paid forward when my
means improve via cash donations and donated services (i.e Homeless
feedings). I am not asking for anything I would not be willing to
provide others were I able to at the moment.
Donations can be made via paypal in my daughters website. Development
on the site has been suspended until we can get out of this mess.

Sherri's Sad Stories of Debt, Cell Phone Shut Off, and Inability to Pay Utilities
Hi my name is Sherri. I have fallen on hands down, without a doubt the
hardest times I've ever had. As embarrassing as this is for me to do I
don't know where else to turn. I am 3 months pregnant, my child's
father, (my husband) was killed tragically exactly 2 month's ago in a
car accident by a drunk driver. I have no family, I never really knew
my father, he left when I was 2. My mother was my best friend and my
world but she too, was killed in a drunk driving accident as well with
my stepfather in 2002. I am 30 years old and well educated with solid
job history. I know everything will be alright after my baby is born
and I am able to get back on my feet. My concern is as of right now, I
am behind in all of my bills. I have 34 days to come up with my rent
or I am evicted, all utilities are pending disconnection (got some
help from LEAP which bought me a little time), my car payment is two
months past due, My cell phone is shut off. I am going to lose
everything. I am not eating healthy at all for being pregnant. I eat
as much as I can when I can but it's not near enough. I feel starved
non stop. I am very concerned about my baby's health. This is my last
resort and my plea to all of humanity!! I know there are some loving,
honest people out there that will help me. Help Me Please!! When my
time comes to hand out help I will not think twice. Thank You so very
much and God Bless!

Author and Poet Fell on Hard Times, See how you can help him!
My name is Marcel Duvoix, and I'm 35 years old. I'm an author and
poet. The reason why I need help, is because the company that I
previously worked for, downsized due to the tough economy, leaving me
with no income. I've barely subsisted on my personal savings that
have since run out, and on unemployment benefits, that have also ran
out. So, I have no savings or income whatsoever, and no way to pay the
rent or basic necessities. I haven't found a job yet, and no one to
help out. Please help me!, as I'm about to lose my small rented room,
and I have no where to go. I want to continue to improve my life, and
to help others too, so please help me out, and I'll repay your
kindness to me, by passing it on to others; in anyway I can. Thanks a
million!!!, and may God bless you richly. You can reach me at:
royalpatron@yahoo.com Thanks again.

Every Boy Should Have a Puppy - A Project and a Nice Story
For a loooooong time, I’ve wanted to adopt a puppy. We couldn’t have
one when I was a kid (allergies, parents, etc.), then for a long time
I lived in the city. I know, I know, there are plenty of city dogs and
it’s quite possible to give them wonderful lives, but I just wasn’t
sure my lifestyle would allow for that. Personally, for my ambition
as a dog caretaker, I resolved not to seriously entertain bringing
home a canine companion until I had a fenced yard that he could enjoy
and relax in without being leashed or strictly supervised. Just under
two years ago, I moved into my very first house, with a great big yard
and a nice tall fence. Perfect, right?
Seemingly, yes. At first, the house needed a lot of work. The
previous occupants had kept dogs, but were not terribly responsible
about it. So, there was a lot of rehabbing to be done to floors,
walls, woodwork and carpet. I really wanted to bring a puppy home,
but I had to do it right. Have the infrastructure and resources all in
place, really set us up for success, y’know? The plan was to adopt
near the beginning of summer vacation (I’m a teacher), so we’d have
plenty of time to bond, and train, and acclimate and play and
socialize and... you get the picture. Things were looking good, and
then... I lost my job.
Again, not wanting to leave the door open for failure, Project Puppy
had to be postponed. I have a second (and now a third... and half a
fourth) job, and some savings and other resources, so it’s not like
I’m in real danger of becoming homeless. BUT, taking on additional,
non-elective expenses right now wouldn’t be fiscally responsible.
Unless, of course, I have help; that’s where you come in.
It occurs to me, that oftentimes in the community of dog lovers, that
when someone has a litter or finds a stray or has to move, and looks
to place their pooch in a home rather than abandon them to a shelter,
they reach out to their networks of friends and fellow-dog-lovers. So
often I’ve overheard the phrase, “Ohhh, I’d love to, but...” don’t
have the space/money/time for another dog, the wife/husband/landlord
would kill me, I’ll ask around... I know that many donate generously
to the ASPCA and various rescue organizations, on top of whatever is
spent providing furry friends with toys and treats galore. I thought
that perhaps, some of these dog lovers who have already filled their
own homes to capacity with paws and leashes, might be willing to
contribute to keeping at least one pup out of “the system” and in a
comfortable home; and Project Puppy was born.
If you’ve got the dime, I’ve got the time. The house is in order, the
backyard is all set, I’ve done a fair amount of research and
dogsitting. I’ve got a small network of dog-friends to socialize with
and a reliable de facto sitter if I should ever need to travel out of
town. The last missing piece is the available fundage to provide food,
equipment, vet care, etc. I figure if I can scrape together $1000,
that should be adequate for a years’ worth of normal care. Maybe a
little more, considering the initial outlay of bowls and a leash and a
bed. If you support the cause, and care to throw a dollar or two in
the pot, I’ll squirrel these funds away specifically for this purpose,
and every little bit helps. Like child support, except this child is
kinda hairy and has really harsh breath and I will never ask you for a
paternity test. If you can’t afford to donate, but know someone who
would, maybe you’ll forward them a link so they can come read?
That’s about as far as I’ve thought this web plea through. My owner
taught me not to beg, but I’ve a feeling that if enough people just
read this site, I won’t need to. I’ll keep the site updated with how
close we are to the goal, and hopefully once we succeed, pictures/
videos/updates on the little guy’s progress. Thanks for your time, and
your generosity!

Mother Wants to Send 3 Girls to Camp and Pay Other Bills

Vietnamese Business Woman Fell on Hard Times, Needs Your Help Now
Hello,everybody!
I live in Viet Nam and I beg for your generosity and your
organization.When writing this is the time I’m falling into financial
and mental distress.In recent years,my biggest mistake is to have
borrowed money from many individuals (with high interest) and banks to
invest in the scallop farming. Unfortunately,the diseased scallops
died in a series so the whole investment of mine lost.Catastrophe that
overwhelmed my wife and I and family when my seven-year old died on
29/01/2010.Besides, I also suffer from spinal pain. Currently,my
monthly income of more than $ 220 is not enough to pay the high
interest so I can’t pay for the original debt. I’m in an emergency now
because I will have to pay the first debt of $ 2300 for a bank this
May28th.I ask for the help of you.You save me means you save the
others because when I get out of the debt,I can help those having
difficulty as I now.I’d expect to receive your care to my miserable
circumstance.I am not the poor but the poorer poor.Please save me and
give me a chance to change my life,I don’t want to lose my job because
of my debt.Thank you very much for reading and please save me if you
can .

Pregnant Sherri Fell on Hard Times and Needs Your Help: Do What You Can to Help Her Now
Hi my name is Sherri. I have fallen on hands down, without a doubt the
hardest times I've ever had. As embarrassing as this is for me to do I
don't know where else to turn. I am 3 months pregnant, my child's
father, (my husband) was killed tragically exactly 2 month's ago in a
car accident by a drunk driver. I have no family, I never really knew
my father, he left when I was 2. My mother was my best friend and my
world but she too, was killed in a drunk driving accident as well with
my stepfather in 2002. I am 30 years old and well educated with solid
job history. I know everything will be alright after my baby is born
and I am able to get back on my feet. My concern is as of right now, I
am behind in all of my bills. I have 34 days to come up with my rent
or I am evicted, all utilities are pending disconnection (got some
help from LEAP which bought me a little time), my car payment is two
months past due, My cell phone is shut off. I am going to lose
everything. I am not eating healthy at all for being pregnant. I eat
as much as I can when I can but it's not near enough. I feel starved
non stop. I am very concerned about my baby's health. This is my last
resort and my plea to all of humanity!! I know there are some loving,
honest people out there that will help me. Help Me Please!! When my
time comes to hand out help I will not think twice. Thank You so very
much and God Bless!

Urgent Need: Evicted Pregnant Woman Sleeps in Car, Has No Fridge to Store, Refrigerate Food
Here is the request as sent by eileen08@ymail.com
"Hello. I am single, 5 months pregnant and was just evicted from my
home.
I am working full time, and I save money whenever possible, but I fell
behind in my payments a couple of months ago when my car broke down. I
had to use almost a whole month's pay to fix it, but I no choice
because I needed a way to get to work to keep my job.
My landlord worked with me for a couple of months, but he is also
having trouble making ends meet. He had other people interested in
renting my apartment, so he said he couldn't help me anymore.
I am now sleeping in my car and washing up at work. I do not mind for
myself, but I am concerned for my baby. I do not feel safe in the car
or in the local shelter.
I am also worried that since I don't have a kitchen to prepare food
any more, I am not able to eat as healthy as I should for the baby. I
applied for the Women, Infants & Children program in my state, and for
food stamps, and those programs are wonderful, but without a
refrigerator and stove, I can't benefit from many of the healthy food
options that they provide. I also applied for housing assistance, but
the waiting list in my area is extremely long.
I am so ashamed to ask perfect strangers for help. I pray every day to
find safe, affordable housing near my work. I am saving the best I can
for first month, last month and a security deposit. I think that one
of my prayers was answered when I found this website.
If you can find it in your heart to help, any amount would be a
blessing. When I am back on my feet, I promise that I will return it
to you or pay it forward to another needy person; which ever you would
prefer.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Bless You "

Educated Head of Household Seeks Your Assistance: Father, Husband with Master's Degree Hit Hard Times
I met my wife 7 years ago. We immediately fell in love and had an
amazing little girl. We moved to Long Island and I worked 2 hours away
in NYC for 6 years where I got my Masters. I rarely saw my family
through this whole process, sometimes for a week at a time.
After graduation, I got a job in Philly paying $15k more/yr than my previous
job. That was a year ago. I left my family behind while I tried to get
back on track financially since my student loans hit. They had
contract problems and let me go 3 months later. We couldn’t afford the
house so we rented it and wife and daughter moved back to Nashville to
live with my mom. After months of looking for work, I couldn’t afford
the rent anymore and moved back to Nashville again. I found part-time
work there, but was unemployed for 9 months, receiving unemployment
for only 6 of those. I finally got a full time job teaching in
Raleigh, NC. So I moved for the 4th time in a year, leaving my family
behind again until we could afford to move them. My full-time job pays
less than the bills that have built up due to unemployment and
creditors doing auto-drafts.
I am doing everything I can, working freelance on weekends and looking for a second part-time job, but I just want to pay off my bills so that my family can live a normal life for the first time since we met. My wife can't get a job cause no one
will hire her when she's moving away in just a couple months and we
don't have anyone to take care of my daughter even if she did get a
job. My mom can't help out, unfortunately. I’d love to be able to take
a settlement on some of these creditors so our monthly bills can go
away but you have to pay larger lump sums in order to do that. That’s
what I’m hoping to be able to do from this. I just want to get rid of
some of these monthly bills so we can survive on my salary and get my
family here. I haven't seen them since November.
If you want confirmation of my existence, I will email you back. If
you'd like to donate, I have a Paypal account under
mouse_@mousemanproductions.com . Please help me get my family back
together. Anything you can afford would be greatly appreciated.

Do You Have a Compelling Story to Freelance to Make Money? Pitch Your Stories to These Venues That Pay
Chicago Matters 2009
series: award-winning, annual multi-media exploration of an issue of broad concern to the Chicago region. Over the next year we’ll explore what it takes to succeed into the future as a global metropolis.There is no doubt that Chicago is a global city. With sixty foreign consulates we remain a gateway for immigration from around the world. Our downtown is home to some of the major business and financial elements of the global economy, including the headquarters of thirty Fortune 500 companies and the world’s largest options exchange. We are a hub for international transportation and digital information. The city’s Climate Action Plan is a model for other local governments seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. World–class attractions like Millennium Park and a highly-acclaimed theater scene have made Chicago a destination for international tourists and local art enthusiasts alike. When many urban areas are in decline, Chicago remains a thriving metropolis, anchoring a wide and diverse region.
We also have many of the downsides of globalization. Our middle class is shrinking, graduation rates in some of our public schools are appalling, and we face a growing crisis to find financing for our public transit and infrastructure projects. Chicago Matters: Growing Forward 2009 will explore the state of our global metropolis. We seek enterprising features that examine the current and future demands faced by the city and the region within a global economy. We are looking for stories that explore the how people are experiencing the successes and stresses of our global existence, under such topic areas as politics, the economy, culture, the environment and infrastructure.
pitch: We are looking for fully researched and reported stories. Pitches should include potential scenes and a list of possible story contacts/voices.

For maximum exposure, pieces are designed to be used individually during the "local news" sections of national programs like National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" or "All Things Considered". We won't take stories already broadcast on an NPR program, but stories run locally or on a state network are fine.

series: award-winning, annual multi-media exploration of an issue of broad concern to the Chicago region. Over the next year we’ll explore what it takes to succeed into the future as a global metropolis.There is no doubt that Chicago is a global city. With sixty foreign consulates we remain a gateway for immigration from around the world. Our downtown is home to some of the major business and financial elements of the global economy, including the headquarters of thirty Fortune 500 companies and the world’s largest options exchange. We are a hub for international transportation and digital information. The city’s Climate Action Plan is a model for other local governments seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. World–class attractions like Millennium Park and a highly-acclaimed theater scene have made Chicago a destination for international tourists and local art enthusiasts alike. When many urban areas are in decline, Chicago remains a thriving metropolis, anchoring a wide and diverse region.
We also have many of the downsides of globalization. Our middle class is shrinking, graduation rates in some of our public schools are appalling, and we face a growing crisis to find financing for our public transit and infrastructure projects. Chicago Matters: Growing Forward 2009 will explore the state of our global metropolis. We seek enterprising features that examine the current and future demands faced by the city and the region within a global economy. We are looking for stories that explore the how people are experiencing the successes and stresses of our global existence, under such topic areas as politics, the economy, culture, the environment and infrastructure.

Ask Others to Pay Your Bills: Cyber Begging's Success Stories
Watch or Listen to the Video of two success stories as reported by ABC News
You will hear about the story of Dustin Diamond from the popular show, Saved by The Bell. Screetch or Dustin Diamond fell on hard times. He had to declare bankruptcy. He ended creating a website to save his house. On the site, he asked for money.
You will also hear about Karen who had a problem shopping.
There was a woman (due to privacy she has ask us not to mention her name) that received donations of $20,000 in 20 weeks!
Amazingly, the money she was collecting was for her credit card debt, she was not a needy mother or have hungry children!
CBS News: Correspondent Mika Brzezinski reports,
that this woman suddenly found herself unemployed.
Two years of marathon shopping put her debt out of control. "At one point it added up to $25,000," she says.
This lady had an idea: simply ask for the money.
She was literally begging on the Internet for people to help her.
How did she get in such debt?
She ran her credit cards up to the maximum. People from all over donated money so she could pay her credit cards off!
This lady did not have children who were hungry, her home was not being foreclosed, she did not have a horrible illness with hospital bills to pay..... she just had high credit card bills!
Incredibly, people still donated thousands to her cause.
She received donations from .05 cents to $500.00 during that period.

Examples of Money Requests: PayPal is at the Heart of Cyberbegging, InternetBegging: It Facilitates Transactions
One thing is clear. Paypal is at the heart of the new phenomenon, Internet begging or e-panhandling. It facilitates contact between those who tell their stories or post their requests and those who want to donate. With Paypal, donors can give as little as $1.00 or as much as $1000.
More and more people have a lot of needs and are willing to ask for a helping hand. They go to sites such as cyberbeg.com, donatemoney2me.com, and post2beg.blogspot.com and begslist.org.
The newest way for people to get help with their financial problems is to beg online, or "cyberbeg."
Web sites such as Begslist, CyberBeg and DonateMoney2me.com give people the ability to tell their stories and ask for help. There is no way to know for sure who is scamming and who really needs the assistance, but some of the stories out there are pretty compelling.
The Boston Globe wrote about this national phenomenon, which is also being called digital panhandling:
"Some homeless people now have blogs where they seek donations. There are Web forums where the homeless exchange ideas, sites where people can donate money, and bulletin boards where penniless artists and foreclosure victims ask for cash. There's even a Wikipedia entry for 'Internet begging,' which is one of more than 3 million Web sites listed by a Google search of the term.
"Neil J. Donovan, executive director of National Coalition for the Homeless in Washington, said he isn�t surprised more homeless people are looking for help online, noting how need spurs ingenuity.
" 'When you've hit bottom -- homelessness -- every viable avenue up begins to look good and make sense,' said Donovan, who has learned from his staff, many of whom were homeless, of the growing use of what has been also called cyber-begging and Internet panhandling. 'So in a bad economy, when you combine reduced giving through typical panhandling with computer training for homeless jobseekers, it�s surprising the practice didn�t start sooner. . . . Don't blame them for coming up with creative ways to tread water.' "
The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch told the story of a cattle rancher who turned to cyberbegging after he got sick and had to sell out at a big loss:
" 'It's very humiliating,' he said. 'I never thought I would be in this position.'
"Lacking options, Wayne Mercier recently tapped an unlikely source of salvation: the Internet.
"Last month on the Columbus and Zanesville editions of craigslist, a no-cost, online-classifieds Web site, and on the New Jersey-based Wishuponahero.com, he pleaded for help of any kind -- a few dollars, a prayer, a meal.
"I feel pretty bad writing all of this to the world, but I just don't know where to turn now, I am willing to return help to someone else in need as soon as I'm able.
"Somewhere in the digital ether, people noticed.
"A woman drove from Columbus to take the Merciers grocery shopping. Another sent a care package filled with toiletries. Someone else mailed a card with $2 enclosed. A jeweler sent Mrs. Mercier a modest costume ring, simply as a pick-me-up.
"Others have donated several hundred dollars through PayPal, which facilitates online money transfers, to help the Merciers pay utility bills and propane costs. It's barely a dent, but it's deeply appreciated.
" 'The people who have reached out with what little they have,' Mr. Mercier said, 'is a blessing.'
"Other central Ohioans, too, are using the Web to seek a helping hand.
"Many go online because they are frustrated with traditional methods of assistance, or because they're unable to procure it. Or maybe they're too ashamed to resort to panhandling."
Las Vegas City Life wrote about the people who are using Begslist and what they're in need of:
"Rex Camposagrado founded Begslist when he was struggling financially himself. Donations from anonymous virtual donors helped him get back on his feet.
" 'Most people who are begging are in financial need,' he writes in an e-mail. 'From single parents to people with medical problems to students who need cash.'
"And a lot of them are Las Vegans such as Dave Lewis, who posted to Craigslist in mid-October after he realized the money in his account wouldn't last the week. He previously used the site to drum up business for his web design company.
"My wife and I just need a little help with food for about 5 days until I get paid ... Please help. I will pay you back or do some website work for you.
"Lewis forgot to mention his daughter. She's 11 years old and severely autistic, requiring full-time care from her mother. She's also the reason he swallowed his pride and asked for help.
" 'My daughter needs love, food, therapy and shelter. Nothing will ever stop me from getting her what she needs. I feel embarrassed when I ask for help, but if I don't, my wife and daughter suffer. My ego is not a valid excuse anymore,' Lewis writes in an e-mail."

Saddleback Pastor and "The Purpose-Driven Life" Author Rick Warren Got Answers to His Prayers and Urgent Letter
God does answer his people's prayer these days. He did it in the past. He will continue to do it. It does not help if you are well-connected and have some fame. That is what happened to Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church.
According to Daily News, Evangelical pastor Rick Warren's got a new purpose in life: to raise $900K by the first of the year for his struggling church.
Warren, the author of the best-selling book 'The Purpose-Driven Life' and pastor at Saddleback Church, needs the money to fill a giant hole in the church's budget resulting from significantly lower donations, the Associated Press reported.
Warren wrote an urgent letter to his parishioners asking for the money.
"Dear Saddleback Family, THIS IS AN URGENT LETTER," he wrote. "With 10 percent of our church family out of work due to the recession, our expenses in caring for our community in 2009 rose dramatically while our income stagnated."

Even the Rich, the Super Rich Knows Taste of Rejections and Denial: Heiress to Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Fortune Got Her Poems Rejected
Ruth Lilly had a lot of money. Before dying a few days ago, she did a lot of good with it too. But, the wealth did not shield her from rejections and denial. At least, her poems were continuously rejected by the editors of Poetry, an organization she was supporting.
It is better to ask instead of stealing. We all know this truth. Ruth did not stop appreciating poetry because her own poems were rejected. Instead, she tried to support the organization. And she gave money to countless other agencies. She a great human being who did a lot of good with her money. She was a great humanitarian.
Ruth Lilly will be greatly missed!
Lilly, the last surviving great-grandchild and heiress of Eli Lilly, was a noted philanthropist.
She gave away an estimated $800 million, which was her inheritance, giving away to many causes including colleges, hospitals, the National Easter Seals Society and a $100 million donation to the Chicago poetry association in 2002.
Her donation currently maintains daily radio poetry readings, a poetry professorship at Indiana University and prestigious annual awards.
Lilly’s inheritance came from her family’s pharmaceutical business, which began in 1876, Eli Lilly & Co.
Lilly, who always lived in extreme wealth, battled with depression for most of her life.
After spending years in a mental hospital and divorced her husband, her brother J.K. Lilly III put her fortune under guardianship.
In 1988 Prozac, the company’s most successful drug, came on the market and according to Lilly’s physician helped her with the depression.
Lilly is survived by five nieces and nephews, 14 great nieces and nephews and 10 great-great nieces and nephews.
