Holiday Donations for People in Need

Internet begging is a unique way to give monetary or gift donations to those in need this Holiday season

With the holidays fast approaching, many people are doing their shopping online – but the Internet is also a very popular place for people in need asking for a handout on Begslist.com.

There are thousands of pleas for help on Begslist.com an online donation website, which is dedicated to helping people in need through begging via the Internet. Most of us this year will be enjoying a wonderful holiday dinner with our friends and family, but for millions of families across the country, Christmas will be like any other day; a struggle to make ends meet.
The stories from people asking for help are heartbreaking.  A recently widowed dad who lost his job; a failed businessman with no money and no hope for a future. And, of course, stories of so many families who can't afford gifts for Christmas.

"We are a family of 9, and my husband lost his job, so we didn't have Christmas last year. This year we were lucky enough to find a place to live, but no money for Christmas..."
"I am a single mother of six and I am seeking help to have a Christmas with my family. I have been laid off from work and I experienced as a child not having many Christmases, but I don't want that for my kids...".

Others post stories asking for help, not for themselves but for others in need. Charities, organizations or everyday people just wanting donations for various causes will try begging on Begslist.org to help others.

"Help the Children of Chicago - My deepest wishes for the spirit of Christ and Christmas. Can you help the needy children this season with a small donation, any amount.. because it the thought that counts. It's better to give than to receive as our children are the future and needy families need help."
"This is a Memorial to my brother who died of Cancer in 2006. We wish to aid in the support of Community Hospice groups everywhere. Hospice is currently undergoing a financial hard time and needs our help. Hospice does a job that really helps. Take it from one who knows what they do. During my brother's final time, they provided many services that we the family could not."
Begslist.org is an online donations website dedicated to helping people in need through the use of free cyber begging. Try something different this Holiday Season and take the time to send donations whether it be toys, food, clothing or financial support to those less fortunate.

About Begslist

Cyber begging, Internet begging, or Internet panhandling is the online version of traditional begging or panhandling where people can ask strangers for money, food, clothing, or shelter. Begging online has a clear advantage to street begging or panhandling where it can be done with relative anonymity, thus eliminating or reducing the embarrassment, shame, or keeping one's dignity that associated with begging in public.

Direct Relief Delivers Medical Aid to Affected Areas

$36 Million in Medical Inventory Made Available; Healthcare Companies and FedEx Step in to Help

April 29, 2011
To help people across the southeastern U.S. who have lost their homes or been injured in tornadoes and other severe weather, Direct Relief USA is delivering specifically requested medical aid to clinics and shelters throughout the south.
Direct Relief is the only nonprofit organization licensed to distribute prescription medications in all 50 states and maintains an ongoing support program with more than 1,000 nonprofit clinics and health centers across the country, including 168 facilities in the six states affected by recent tornados.
In the past week, Direct Relief USA completed a distribution of medical aid this month through its nationwide Safety Net Support program, delivering more than $756,000 in medical material to 39 health facilities in Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee.
In addition, emergency shipments have been provided to facilities in North Carolina and Arkansas following tornados that struck in the past two weeks.
In response to the devastating tornadoes this week, Direct Relief has activated its entire network to prioritize emergency assistance to the affected southern states.
The organization has made its current inventory of $36 million in medicines and medical supplies available for the response. Text message alerts have been sent to community clinics and health centers notifying them of available resources.
In mobilizing private resources for the response, Direct Relief has joined with a vast array of nonprofit and public agencies to coordinate assistance, as well as with dozens of healthcare companies that have offered assistance and released previously made product donations to assist in the southern states.
Damon Taugher, Director of Direct Relief USA, says: “Our hearts go out to those who have been affected by this awful tragedy. Direct Relief has worked closely with partners in these communities over the past six years and will continue to provide medical resources to assist in recovery efforts.”
As needs assessments and relief operations have begun, Direct Relief is coordinating efforts with several national contacts, which include the National Association of Community Health Centers, National Association of Free Clinics, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the Private Sector ESF-15 National Response Coordination Center, and Rx Response.
In the affected states, Direct Relief is coordinating its efforts with the Georgia Primary Care Association, Community Health Centers of Arkansas, Mississippi Primary Healthcare Association, and Alabama Primary Care Association.
Many clinic partners across the southeast are conducting damage assessments and identifying needs. One organization has made a specific emergency request for assistance, which Direct Relief will fulfill with transportation services donated by FedEx:

• Semo Health Network, Sikeston, MO – Due to flooding, the Semo Health Network is housing 100 evacuated families in nearby hotels, and specifically requested maintenance medications for evacuees. Continuity of care and the availability of needed medicines are important for people with chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and asthma, which are seen in relatively high incidence among partner clinic patient populations.

Another clinic partner has made a request to assist with families whose homes have been destroyed:

• Conway Interfaith Clinic, Conway, AR – An estimated 50 to 60 displaced people are staying in shelters after a tornado swept through the town earlier this week, damaging about 500 homes. Personal care and hygiene items ($14,382 wholesale value) are en route to the clinic today to help the people living in the shelter.

These states have been hit by the recent spate of storms, in which more than 300 people have been killed and thousands of homes destroyed, according to news reports.
Direct Relief’s emergency relief efforts and ongoing assistance to partner clinics in the U.S. facilitate a fast, efficient response when a disaster strikes. The organization’s Hurricane Preparedness Program equips clinic sites across the Gulf States each year with medical material aid that is pre-positioned before hurricane season starts. Direct Relief’s response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 has been one of the organization’s largest, rivaled only by the Haiti earthquake response in 2010.

Incident: Severe weather, including tornadoes and heavy rain, hit the southeastern U.S. April 2011
Human Cost: More than 300 people killed and hundreds injured and displaced across six states
Direct Relief Response: Medical aid offered to partners across affected states through local, regional, and national associations, including Primary Care Associatios, the National Association of Community Health Centers, and the National Association of Free Clinics.

Cee Lo Green helps firefighting campaign

Cee Lo Green is doing his bit to help US volunteer firefighters. The singer-songwriter is recording Thank You, another rewrite of his hit song that's known in its PG-rated version as Forget You, to publicise a battery donation campaign. "I believe I can contribute a great deal more than mere entertainment," he said. Cee Lo is helping to promote Duracell's battery donation drive for volunteer fire departments in the States.

The firefighters use the batteries for flashlights and other equipment. In the US, the firm is donating one battery for every specially marked pack of batteries customers buy.

Cee Lo's mother was pulled by volunteer firefighters from a serious car wreck, and had served as a firefighter herself.

"I always wanted to be a fireman, like a lot of kids," he said.

"There are quite a few heroes out there," he added.

Cee-Lo, who is touring Europe, has been involved in a number of other charitable efforts, including plans to donate proceeds from his song It's OK to Japan's earthquake relief.

Website reviews: Begslist.org

by Katerina Nikolas

Amidst the slew of online begging sites Begslist.org costs nothing for cyber beggars to sign up and post their pleas for donations. They hope to be found by one of the kind souls who scour the internet looking to give their cash away. Whilst other sites often charge a hefty sign up fee Begslist.org is still free, as its creator knows what hard times are.

Instead of the beggars paying to post, Begslist runs paid advertisements from businesses which include online gambling sites, pay day loan lenders and credit repair services. This could be convenient for one of the sites cyber beggars who pleads for money to fund his gambling trip, as he could save on the travel expenses and hit the online gambling instead.

Whilst the site is free it does promise to feature those that donate $9.95 when they post, that their begging post will be featured in the ‘Begslist Spotlight’. The site also gives advice to its online beggars on how to avoid being scammed by donors, though it doesn’t highlight the dangers of donors being scammed by beggars.

Common scams to look out for the typical email type which purport to come from Presidents and Doctors, and those who need your address to send you a check which will require a return check for the over donated amount once cashed. Beggars are also warned of the countries which most likely send scam mails, including Nigeria and the UK.

The site does not publish photographs or personal details of the beggars, though some do post their PayPal email address. Many choose to post their names though along with email addresses and place of work. Requests for cash are divided into various sections such as money for debts, students, medical bills, food, rent, toys and entertainment. The latter category includes requests for beer money, new computers and gaming consoles.

One cyber beggar who intends to run for public office soon seems to have misunderstood the nature of cyber begging and touchingly declares himself to be a “35 year okld mail” in need of a wife. Another poster has urgent need of $10000 “for breast augmentation. In return I will take naked pictures of myself, with my new breasts.” What voyeur could turn down an offer like that?

Cyber beggars have a varied international background with representatives of India, Canada, Bulgaria and the Philippines all featured. What they all have in common is a Pay Pal account and a sob story.

There is nothing to say that those who beg online will receive a cent from it but they are encouraged to click on the adverts to express their gratitude for the free service which Begslist provides. Donors on the other hand are more likely to avoid being scammed by giving directly to the poor, the needy, or a charity.
