I work with NEO Leaders, a Christian nonprofit serving across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond. As we begin asking people to come alongside this work, I wanted to start with one of the people behind it.

He comes from a Kurdish Muslim background in Syria. He describes the community he grew up in as strictly Islamic. In the late 1990s, his family became only the second family in the Afrin area to believe in Christ.

The greatest persecution they experienced didn't come from the government. It came from their own relatives and the community around them.

Years later, the situation became even more dangerous. He says that after Islamic groups entered the area in 2018, fear became so deeply rooted that people were afraid even to say the word Christian. Today, he says some still fear openly saying they believe in Christ because of the threat of being killed as apostates.

And yet, he continues.

Today, his ministry takes him across nearly ten provinces in Turkey and Syria. He travels knowing there are risks, and that the people he serves may be carrying those same fears. But he keeps going.

Near the end of his testimony, he said something I haven't been able to forget:

“Life with Christ is also hard. But with hope and support.”

That word support is part of why I'm sharing his story here.

NEO Leaders exists to come alongside believers and leaders like him who are already serving within their own communities. Since 2005, NEO has invested in leaders across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond, equipping them to make disciples, develop new leaders, strengthen churches, and carry the Gospel forward.

We believe the people closest to these communities are the ones best positioned to reach them.

They know the language. They understand the culture. They have relationships an outsider could spend years trying to build. And when one person is equipped to disciple another, who can disciple another, the impact can extend far beyond a single individual.

That's what a gift to NEO helps make possible: investing in the people who are already there, already serving, and already carrying the Gospel forward.

If his story resonates with you, would you consider coming alongside believers and leaders like him?

Hi everyone, I'm liquidating an inventory of approximately 1600 sunglasses. I was thinking about dropping it with the local habitat for humanity ReStore location. I just want the receipt for the donation. I am looking for suggestions if you guys have alternative ideas for where they should go. I can drop them in the LA / OC area unless someone wants to come pick up.

Hello new users!

As we have requirements spelled out in Rule 1 on including some sort of evidence in your posts, we've created this post for those of you who need help with that.

Rule 1 states:

Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence!

Generally these are provided as photos or screencaps. Because Reddit doesn't allow an image upload with text, we generally suggest the following:

1. Upload the photo(s) to Imgur.com or other image hosting site.
2. Copy URL or Link to the photo(s)
3. In the body of your post here, make sure to include the link that you've copied. It usually starts with http:// or https://.

And that's it!

In times of disaster, it's not uncommon for many good people to try to fundraise for relief efforts, supplies and reconstruction costs. But you should be aware that unless it's someone you personally know and trust, it's also not uncommon for bad people to use the opportunity to make money for themselves.

Before you give, you should ask:

1. Is the donation link directly to a relief agency or is it to a middleman? There's no easy transparency when it comes to the spending of funds in a crisis, which makes it easier for funds to not reach the people it's intended to help, so by avoiding middlemen, you can reduce this possibility.
2. Have you checked the background of the relief agency or organization you're considering? Some spend money more effectively than others meaning that less overhead makes for more money being spent on victims vs administration costs.
3. Is the agency or organization a registered non-profit or NGO? These kinds of entities have strict reporting rules to follow to show how their funds are being spent.
4. Is the agency or organization providing a receipt? If so, you can often use it for a deduction on taxes for the current year. If not, the agency or organization is likely not a registered non profit.

GoFundMe will show that a campaign is benefiting a non-profit charity organization if it is created using their IRS EIN or charity registration number.

Even Paypal donation accounts will show they're owned by a non-profit charity organization, and generate a receipt.

While not every individual doing fundraising is attempting to defraud you of your money, you can give with more confidence by giving directly to a relief charity of your own choosing via their own web pages.

This month Patty, my 15 year old rescue dog and I are raising money for the animal rescue she came from - Dogs Trust. This month is also her 8th adoption anniversary so it's extra special for us.

I'm running 100 miles (currently at 30)

Patty is doing 100 rolls (her favourite thing to do) and is currently at 44.

We'd love if you could sponsor us!

Happy Friday! I don’t normally do stuff like this but I have been wanting to give back to the running community for all the support and encouragement they have given me over the last year or so, and I really love the mission behind Girls on the Run (GOTR).

I am so excited to be a Girls on the Run SoleMate! By supporting my fundraiser, you are demonstrating your belief in a world where ALL girls know and activate their limitless potential and are free to boldly pursue their dreams. If you’re able, please donate to this incredible cause or share my fundraising page if you can’t 💖

A little bit more about GOTR: Founded in 1996, Girls on the Run International is a nonprofit that has served 2 million + girls across North America. Children today are exposed to longstanding gender stereotypes, societal obstacles and cultural challenges that can be detrimental to their emotional and physical health. Our program helps girls recognize their potential and rise above limiting gender expectations. Girls on the Run programs are about so much more than running – they make an impact at a critical age when confidence and physical activity decline.

Hi everyone, I want to share something that matters to me.

Only 9.3% of people with probable depression in Indonesia receive treatment (Rizal et al., 2024) - mostly due to cost and stigma.

I'm joining Freedom Summit, an event by RightReason, to fundraise for Bali Bersama Bisa (BBB), which provides free professional counseling for people who can't afford therapy. I made a short video explaining more, attached to this post.

Hi everyone!

This November, I'm running the New York City Marathon for Keep a Child Alive (KCA), an organization that works with community partners to support vulnerable children and families around the world, including through education, healthcare, and other essential resources.

Running a marathon has been a personal goal of mine for years. I wanted to complete my first one before turning 25, but an injury forced me to put that goal on hold. When the opportunity to run the NYC Marathon for KCA came up at the last minute, I decided to go for it!

I'm really excited to take on this challenge, especially knowing that it gives me an opportunity to support a cause beyond myself. KCA's work to help children and communities access the resources and opportunities they need to thrive is something I want to help support.

The only catch is that, because this opportunity came together so late, I'm a little behind on my fundraising and am working hard to reach my goal before race day.

If you're able to contribute, any donation would be greatly appreciated. If donating isn't possible, sharing my fundraiser would also help tremendously.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me make my first marathon count for something bigger than myself! ❤️

One of the things I keep thinking about is that if my mom hadn't gone in for her mamogram, she may not have known she had breast cancer. As this did not run in my family, and we still do not know the exact cause but luckily we caught it early. Mammograms can find breast cancer before there are symptoms or before you even notice a lump, which is why regular screening and early detection are so important.

Her experience also made me think a lot about how difficult it can be for people to access healthcare in this country. Getting appointments, finding affordable care, navigating insurance, and making sure you can actually get the screenings you need can be a challenge, especially for people who are uninsured or underinsured. There are programs that help provide free or low cost screenings, but these resources are rarely commonly known.

Im participating in this walk because I want to honor my mom, but I also want to do something bigger than just walking for her. I want to help spread awareness about breast cancer and encourage people to stay on top of early dectection screenings.

If sharing my story encourages even one person to make an appointment, or simply talk to their doctor about their breast health, then that makes this worth it to me.

Im proud to be participating as part of the Kaiser Permanente Greater Sacramento Warriors team. Being part of a team makes this experience even more meaningful. Im grateful to be part of a group of people coming together to support such an important cause.

I'm hoping to raise $2,500 for the American Cancer Society. If you're able to donate, I would be incrediability grateful. If you cant, sharing this page and helping me spread the word means just as much!

Thank you everyone for supporting me, my mom, and everyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer.

Hello,
I am a 31-year-old French woman, and I started running in 2022 while I was living in India. I had moved there for love, and this experience profoundly changed the way I see the world.

Living in India made me much more aware of the inequalities that exist in our societies, and of how the circumstances into which we are born and the opportunities we are given can shape the course of our lives.

Since I started running, I have taken part in several races to support charitable causes, including cancer research and the fight against violence against women. Running has therefore always been more than just a sport for me: it has been a way to challenge myself while supporting causes that matter to me.

Now that I am back in France, I have decided to take on a new challenge: running my first marathon, while keeping a strong connection with India by choosing Kolkata Hope as the cause I will be running for.

I want this marathon to have a meaning beyond the personal challenge. I want to run for a cause that is very close to my heart: fighting inequalities and helping give people opportunities to build a better future, regardless of where they come from.

Any donation, whatever the amount, would mean a lot to me and would help me turn every kilometre of this marathon into a step towards a more equal world.
Donations are tax-deductible, making it an even more meaningful way to support this cause.

Thank you to anyone who will be supporting me and, most importantly, for supporting this cause. ❤️
You can also leave a message on the page to support me.

Hi /r/charity

While I’ve ran the WDW Marathon numerous times, however I decided to challenge myself and run for a charity. The charity I’m running for is Kellsie’s Hope Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports kids and families whose kids are affected by cancer. My goal is to raise a minimum of $800 for this wonderful organization as a way to give this marathon more meaning than 26.2 miles. Thank you.

I am fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK because my father‑in‑law has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with 1 in 8 men expected to face a diagnosis during their lifetime. It is a disease that often develops quietly, without symptoms, until it reaches an advanced stage. When it affects someone in your own family, the impact is immediate, personal, and profound.
My father‑in‑law, Dave, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to his liver and spine. Seeing someone you care about confront a diagnosis like this is incredibly difficult, and it has driven me to do something meaningful that can support others facing the same disease.
In 2027, I will be taking on the London Marathon to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK — a cause that now feels very close to home for me and my family. Being able to run the London Marathon is a real privilege. It has been a personal ambition of mine for the last 12 years, and taking part feels like the right way to support Prostate Cancer UK’s vital work in funding research, offering specialist support, and improving outcomes for men and their families.
Prostate Cancer UK is the leading charity dedicated to tackling this disease. They fund pioneering research into earlier and more accurate diagnosis, develop better treatments, provide specialist nurse support, raise awareness of risk factors, and campaign for changes that can save lives. Every donation contributes directly to this essential work.
I have set a fundraising goal of £3,000. Every contribution, large or small, will help me reach that target and support the fight against prostate cancer. Your generosity, encouragement, and support genuinely mean a great deal to me.
I am running for my father‑in‑law, for all the men and families affected by this disease, and for a future in which prostate cancer takes fewer lives.

greetings, my name is Jeff Crouch and I serve as the president of the Michigan Association of blind students a division of the national Federation of the blind of michigan a nonprofit 501C3.

we are currently running a double good popcorn fundraiser to raise money to assist our blind college students to attend our national Federation of the blind of Michigan State convention. our fundraiser ends November 8th at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time. the convention is being held in Grand Rapids Michigan November 5th through November 8th.

as a blind student myself, I know that money is tight for students in general. for blind students it is further compounded by the fact that we experience access barriers which means it costs considerably more for a blind student to attend the same College working on the same degree as their cited counterpart. this leaves our students financially unable to set money aside for other things like attending our convention. the skills our blind students will receive will help them go back to their communities and raise expectations for sighted people as well as other blind people and demonstrate that blindness need not be the characteristic that defines them or their future. They can live the lives they want

Thus our organization has made it a priority to fundraise is much money as we possibly can to get as many blind students to our Convention as possible.

blind students who attend the State Convention will either learn for the first time or continue strengthening skills in advocacy, leadership development, networking, positive blindness philosophy, mentorship and so much more.

as a non-profit we rely on the generous donations from kind people like yourselves. so it would mean the world to our organization if you would consider supporting our fundraiser where we will receive 50% of all sales.

our fundraiser can be found at

if you would prefer to make a direct donation where 100% of your donation would go towards our funding, you can do so at

thank you for considering donating to our cause. it means the world to myself as well as our membership

Hi everyone,
My name is Silje. I’m Norwegian, currently living in Switzerland, and I’m hoping to run the Tokyo Marathon 2027 as part of Team Still I Run.
Still I Run is a U.S. nonprofit that promotes the mental-health benefits of running and movement, works to reduce stigma around mental health, and helps make movement more accessible to people who may need that support.

I chose this charity because the mission is very personal to me.

Running and movement became incredibly important in my own life during a difficult period with my mental health. It didn’t magically make everything disappear, but it gave me structure, something I could control, and a way to keep moving forward when things felt difficult.

That experience is a big part of why I want to use this Tokyo journey for something bigger than simply running a marathon.

I’ve also recently qualified as a mental trainer, coach and running coach. I still have my normal job, but I’m slowly building this as a side project because I would love to help more people discover movement, mindset and mental training as practical tools for taking care of their mental health.

Now comes the part where I need your support.
I have committed to raise $8,000, but to keep my Tokyo Marathon charity entry, I need to reach my first fundraising milestone of $4,000 by November.

Right now, I’ve raised around $200-300
So I still need roughly $3,800 within about a month.
Official Still I Run fundraiser:
https://secure.qgiv.com/event/2027tokyomarathon/account/2408143/donate/

Still I Run is a registered U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and donations made directly through the official fundraiser may be tax-deductible for eligible U.S. donors, subject to applicable tax rules.
You can also read more about my story and why I’m doing this on my fundraising page.

If I don’t reach the fundraising requirement, I won’t be able to keep my Tokyo entry and run the race.
Tokyo is a huge dream of mine, but I would honestly be just as disappointed to have to give up on a campaign and cause that I genuinely believe in.
So I’m asking for help.

If you can donate even $5, $10 or $20, it genuinely matters. I don’t need every person reading this to give a huge amount — I just need enough people to decide that this is worth supporting.

I really want to make this work, and right now I’m trying every door I can think of.
If you were in my position, who would you reach out to next? 💚

Well, she’s only gone and done it!

For the last five years, my girlfriend has entered me into the London Marathon ballot, and this year she’s finally been successful… so I guess I’m running 26.2 miles in 2027!

I’ll be taking on the challenge in aid of Shelter Charity. My girlfriend works in social housing, so the charity is particularly close to her heart, and therefore mine too. Shelter does amazing work supporting people facing homelessness and housing difficulties, so it’s a cause that’s really important to us both.

Now comes the hard part… When Ella rang me and said I had to do the marathon I was convinced she was taking the piss, Turns out she wasnt. I went out the next day to see if i could still do a 5k, now im up to a 12km run, running 4 days a week. Ive now got the best part of 7 months to find another 30km in the locker somewhere.🤣

If anyone could spare a few quid to support me, it would mean a lot. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help make a difference to a really worthwhile cause.

If you can’t donate, even a share would be massively appreciated!

Thankyou so much for the support!

Hi everyone. I'm posting here in total desperation, because I am out of ideas and would love your thoughts or support.

I work for Frome Birth Talk, a charity offering free counselling to people in the Frome area who've just had a baby, who are pregnant, or who have lost a pregnancy or child. Anyone who has become a parent or experienced baby loss will know how utterly life changing it is - and many people struggle to cope.

Our service picks up the pieces the NHS isn't able to. We see 200 parents a year for professional, accessible counselling when they need it most. A single mum of 3 last week told us she wouldn't be here without our free counselling. Our waiting list is 2 weeks compared to NHS 16 weeks.

But the funding landscape is bad, and we can't survive much longer without a big injection of cash. We are SUCH good value for money, but somehow mental health (in particular parents mental health) is ignored time and time again.

We have set up an emergency appeal. We have a week before we need to close our waiting list and start winding down. Hundreds of families need this - and let's face it, I'll bet you wish your town had this service too.

Somerset people, help me. I need to get this message in front of anyone who could turn this around. Philanthropists, big corporates who want to donate money and write the tax off. Someone who has just won the lottery.

If you can share this, please do. Everyone should be able to access mental health support without fear of financial ruin - and babies grow up safer and happier with parents who are well.

If you've got this far, thank you ❤️ even your words of encouragement would be helpful right now.

https://localgiving.org/fundraising/Protect-Parents-Mental-Health?fbclid=IwY2xjawUvi-VleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mA3NydGMGYXBwX2lkDzQwOTk2MjYyMzA4NTYwOQABHt3gN1i9E0hNWYFykelVp_g2B54ExbJlAw5UiN9Xz9si4L84Xg7osrMQJ2VJ_aem_4k2wBlIGAFt5NI-2QiXSjw

Hello new users!

As we have requirements spelled out in Rule 1 on including some sort of evidence in your posts, we've created this post for those of you who need help with that.

Rule 1 states:

Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence!

Generally these are provided as photos or screencaps. Because Reddit doesn't allow an image upload with text, we generally suggest the following:

1. Upload the photo(s) to Imgur.com or other image hosting site.
2. Copy URL or Link to the photo(s)
3. In the body of your post here, make sure to include the link that you've copied. It usually starts with http:// or https://.

And that's it!

In times of disaster, it's not uncommon for many good people to try to fundraise for relief efforts, supplies and reconstruction costs. But you should be aware that unless it's someone you personally know and trust, it's also not uncommon for bad people to use the opportunity to make money for themselves.

Before you give, you should ask:

1. Is the donation link directly to a relief agency or is it to a middleman? There's no easy transparency when it comes to the spending of funds in a crisis, which makes it easier for funds to not reach the people it's intended to help, so by avoiding middlemen, you can reduce this possibility.
2. Have you checked the background of the relief agency or organization you're considering? Some spend money more effectively than others meaning that less overhead makes for more money being spent on victims vs administration costs.
3. Is the agency or organization a registered non-profit or NGO? These kinds of entities have strict reporting rules to follow to show how their funds are being spent.
4. Is the agency or organization providing a receipt? If so, you can often use it for a deduction on taxes for the current year. If not, the agency or organization is likely not a registered non profit.

GoFundMe will show that a campaign is benefiting a non-profit charity organization if it is created using their IRS EIN or charity registration number.

Even Paypal donation accounts will show they're owned by a non-profit charity organization, and generate a receipt.

While not every individual doing fundraising is attempting to defraud you of your money, you can give with more confidence by giving directly to a relief charity of your own choosing via their own web pages.

Water bottles and pizza on a cloudy, dreary day. Next thing I would like to try, is socks, hygiene kits, and maybe clothing or blankets.

At least, I gave it a shot. It was just unimaginably Bleak out there.

People could use more support and safety nets. It's hard to expect sobriety when things are so miserable and hopeless.

Hopefully this can inspire someone to do something similar

Welcome to r/Charity!

Got a charitable cause you'd like to share! This is the place!

Requirements

For 501c(3) non-profits (US) or a Non-Governmental Organization (aka NGO outside the US)

• For a registered 501c(3) or other certified charity (such as NGO's in other non-US countries), the charity must be listed in a governmental web site for verification.
• A fundraiser that is being handled directly by that charity, such as the American Heart Association's Heartwalk or JDRF's charity walk, where you supply a link on their site for your team/yourself.
• A crowdfunding site that shows it is directly benefiting a certified charity.

Please modmail us so that we can flair your post as a registered certified non-profit!

For Everyone Else

You must have both

• Account age of 30 days or older AND
• Comment karma of 250 or greater.

NOTE: We are specifically looking for COMMENT karma. The karma value you are probably looking at is a COMBINED value, consisting of both Link/Post karma plus Comment karma.

To view your karma breakdown:

• Mouse-hover over your username on desktop. This works for both the old and redesigned web site.
• On the official Reddit app for iOS, view your profile, then tap the karma value shown.
• On the official Reddit app for Android, you can't. Complain on r/redditmobile.
• On the unofficial Reddit App for Android, RIF (Formerly known as Reddit is Fun), your breakdown is listed on your profile screen.

The following circumventions will result in a ban:

• Using a karma farming subreddit, such as Karma4You, or asking for/complaining about karma in a general sub.
• Unsolicited private messaging to push your campaign.
• Posting your campaign on someone else's post.

Comment Karma is directly correlated to how many comments you leave plus/minus any points as people upvote a popular comment or downvote an unpopular comment.

Credibility, Community, and You

AKA, Why Do We Have Account Requirements for Individuals?

In an effort to make your crowdfunding efforts more successful here on Reddit, some background first:

In many of the gifting and fundraising subs, you'll notice that without a certain amount "karma" and an account that's old enough, you'll garner down votes or worse, your posts and comments get automatically removed.

Why?

To many Redditors, this place is a community built on activity. The "coin" of the land here is your account, and how much you've contributed to the Reddit community at large reflected in post and comment karma.

As a general rule, Redditors dislike the creation of accounts specifically to fund raise or to make requests. It makes it seem like these people simply treat Reddit as some sort of magical internet wallet, and that doesn't win many friends.

The other reason why new accounts are so disliked is that they're often alternate accounts of established users, in order to hide their activity from people they know. While we do sympathize with those of you who have valid reasons, this privilege is often abused by those who create disposable accounts to scam people for a quick buck.

This trust issue doesn't exist in the same way with certified non-profit groups, as you can look them up online for verification, and at least in the case of 501c(3)s, their spending is transparent due to their required tax filings which are public information.

So if you're new to Reddit, welcome! Spend some time and look around for something that catches your interest and chat it up with others and become part of the community!

However if you're here for the sole reason of making requests in a hurry, please be aware your pleas for help will likely be ignored.

REMEMBER, CREDIBILITY AND COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING!

For this reason, the mods will not post anything on behalf of any user that does not meet account requirements.

Rules

1. Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence . This includes:
   1. If this is for your pet, photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture.
   2. School documentation showing enrollment if you are asking for assistance for school.
   3. Redacted bills showing your situation.
   4. Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.
   5. At minimum, please attach an unobstructed selfie photo of yourself(the submitter) with a handwritten note of your username.
   6. Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" will be removed.
2. Please Flair your posts, once created. If you don't know how, just let the mods know and we'll do it for you.
3. Only 1 campaign per user. We want you have some personal connection to the campaign, and not submit multiples simply because they were in the news.
4. Reposts are allowed once a week. If a repost comes up too early, the newest one(s) will be removed.
5. Acceptable transfer methods for individuals are for crowdfunding sites only, such as GoFundme, YouCaring, etc. Individuals should avoid using Paypal, crypto, or direct banking aps (like Chase). 501c(3) and NGOs may use whatever method they wish.
6. Don't PM people to make requests. If you receive an unsolicited private message, please let us know!
7. Do not post politically-related campaigns. They're just too divisive.
8. Trolling will not be tolerated and offending users will be banned.
9. Don't bug the mods for an exception to the account requirements. None will be given. If you attempt to circumvent the requirement by karma farming or by commenting on someone else's post, your account will be banned.
10. No posting for other Redditors. No Alts. This is viewed as a circumvention of requirements and both accounts will be banned.
11. Selling is only allowed by 1st parties directly. We do not allow selling by 3rd parties to benefit another organization, as there's no transparency to verify that the announced percentage of sales actually goes to the beneficiary. Only direct sales by the non-profit organization are allowed.

Supporting Information Requested for Non-501c(3) and Non-NGO campaigns.

We aren't the government. We aren't a court of law. We definitely don't want you to give out information that could lead to identity theft. However, some campaigns are more successful when they have additional documentation.

This includes:

• Pet related requests: Photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture. This helps show you actually own the pet in question.
• Education related requests: Documentation showing enrollment or acceptance if you are asking for assistance for school.
• Redacted bills showing your situation. In some cases, a donor may prefer to pay a creditor directly on your behalf, so be prepared and find out if that is available to you.
• If you are sharing a campaign for a registered certified non-profit organization (such as a 501c3 or NGO), you should say so in the post, and it should list that status on the campaign page/web site.
• Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.

Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" (or less!) will be removed.

How to Include a Photo or Other Supporting Info Document In Your Post

Because Reddit wasn't initially designed to handle photos when it was created, it has limitations in the implementation of photo support which don't work well for us. So instead we suggest the following:

1. Upload your photo to Imgur.com or other photo hosting site.
2. Copy the URL for the photo.
3. Create a new post or Edit your existing one to include the URL to the photo.

Please make sure to include this, as it is the primary reason why posts that are otherwise fine get removed.

Advice On Making Your Campaign Go Further

Not all crowdfunding campaigns are the same, but here are some suggestions.

• Make sure your campaign has been shared among your Facebook friends! You might think it's embarrassing, however your friends and family are more likely to care than internet strangers.
• Show that you've exhausted all the other possibilities. A lot of potential donors don't like to give money when it seems like the requester's first and only solution is to simply throw someone else's money at the problem. Nobody is going to take your word when you literally only say, "but I've done everything!", when the actual reality is probably closer to "I've done everything I can think of", which arguably is NOT everything.
• Show that there's a plan to use the money wisely. Often people have campaigns for their business ideas, but it doesn't really seem like they thought it all the way through. Tell people what steps you've taken so far, and what you're going to do next.
• Be open to critics. If there's something that people ask about, you should not be dismissive. Provide more detail. There's a possibility that they know something you don't, or they have something different about their own experience that might be useful to you. If you simply brush off your critics, it shows objectively that you're not doing everything possible.
• Review your own campaign with the mindset of a potential donor. Ask yourself, "Would I give money to this?" Or get a friend to review it for you.

Hello!! Just posting wherever I can to try and boost fundraising. The challenge officially started today! Throughout the course of October, myself, my partner and my dogs (Mila and milo) will be walking 70+ miles to raise money for children’s hospice south west. This is a local charity that works incredibly hard to provide positive outcomes and high quality care to children who have life limiting illnesses/disabilities and their families. I work in the care sector, many of my clients over the years have come through CHSW. They do some amazing work and bring so much joy to the lives of the families they help. So, please feel free to do some research into the charity yourself and there is an explanation in my fundraising page too. I update there daily. It may be a long shot but honestly the further it reaches the better and even just a few pennies will help, it all adds up in the end and we are so grateful for anything at all we receive, but please do not feel obligated. Wishing everyone the very best, below is pictures of the pups although Mila is going solo for the first half as she is in season and milo has his 🥜🥜, he’ll be with my mum until she is back to herself! ❤️ please find below the link attached! We started today and have walked 1.86 miles out of 70 so far

Hello everyone! This is karis-gatomon, asking kindly to please donate to my kitties' surgery. They were diagnosed with stomatitis earlier this month. Whether genetic or caused by viral disease, this has caused us considerable heartbreak. Treatment for stomatitis involving antibiotics and antivirals is still experimental...so the only conclusive treatment for them is to remove all of their teeth. As it is, our kitties are in daily pain and losing teeth already.

As both kitties have it, this has left us in lurch. Please see the photos attached for the estimates. While we have pet insurance, this will only cover a fraction of the total cost. Please donate and share.
