Nobody else can do that for you as nobody knows their contact information. The point is to help you help your neighbors. If you know friends of theirs who might not know their situation, they are the perfect ones to help and can most definitely use Giving Anonymously to do so. Patricia,

The mother has three small children and her husband is paralyzed in the hospital from a spinal injury. I am asking if this family can be helped somehow as we are looking into health care insurance to cover necessities when he returns home. Sincerely, Patricia Wood, nutritionist To the Giving Anonymous endeavor,

We sent some friends a donation and thought we wouldn't hear much about it from them. Wrong. We have since been the recipient of all sorts of overtures, gifts, and dinner invitations - which is really nice of them, but we never wanted them to feel indebted. And then it gets awkward whenever they mention a need. Money stuff is tricky. I'll keep Giving Anonymously in mind.

I will be watching my stats for the site. I hope folks use it. That would be incredible. As for MySpace, I think you've got a good point. I'll get a page for it soon and post back here when I do. Thanks for the suggestion. Amber, you’re outstanding. I will be watching my stats for the site. I hope folks use it. That would be incredible.

Excellent job. I think that particular show has the right listeners for you. Can't wait to see what happens. I have no love for MySpace.com, just my people on it. However, I've noticed my friends tend to post about different charities and add friends like campaigns to Free Eric Volz. Perhaps people would add Giving Anonymously as a friend and help spread the word. It's also free advertising. And technically, YOU still wouldn't have a personal myspace page.

That's so rad. Yes, I just said rad. Your dad contacted me this evening, left a message for me to call in to his radio show tomorrow morning! I'm stoked! I really truly hope it's a big break for the service. It would be fantastic. As for the myspace page, I'd have to think about it. I really really hate myspace. I know everyone and their dog has a page, but I don't, and I'm kinda proud of that fact. I'm not even sure what I would do with one. But, if you insist, I'll go work on it. :) If we had a myspace page, what would you suggest would be good for us to do with it? How would it help? Amber, you’re awesome! That’s so rad.

And how about a MySpace page for Giving Anonymously? I'd link to it. Already submitted it to a few places, including *drum roll* my dad’s financial radio show.

We're pretty fond of it. And by the way, if you'd (anyone would) like to help us get the word out, we'd be more than grateful. We don't plan on advertising it except via word of mouth at this point. So, please use it, tell someone you know, tell people who write articles or do radio shows or podcasts. Thanks again! Thanks Amber. We’re pretty fond of it.

I know someone who tried to send an anonymous cashier's check, but then discovered the bank required a signature on checks for over $1K. And then there's that whole sketchy feeling of putting a cashier's check in the mail and wondering if the donation was ever received. This is so much better. Bravo! Fantabulous idea!
