Announcing the Campaign to Help a Struggling Family Get Back on Their Feet



Help the Contreras family break the cycle of financial hardship and find a safe home for their children.

Sacremento, CAJanuary 12, 2015 – The Contreras, a family of five, consists of two loving parents and three wonderful daughters ages 4,5, and 13. The family became homeless on 9-6-14 after being evicted due to an unexpected change in management, resulting in their losing their home in favor of tenants better able to afford a higher rent.

The family moved their belongings to
Sacremento, CA, and quickly found themselves having car trouble. Their van is no longer safe to drive and exists primarily to hold their limited personal belongings. It has become a difficult task to find parking for the vehicle that will not result in tickets or towing.

While Mr. Contrera's husband's job will eventually turn into full time, and raises will apply after six months, both parents are currently only able to work part-time. Covering food, shelter or transportation is becoming more and more difficult. 

The family is asking for donations that will cover a variety of needs:  As the family applies for new housing, they will need to cover the cost of application fees, deposits, and first few months rent. The other funds would go towards getting a new used mini van. The monies received will allow the Contreras family to afford food, clothing and provide just enough to cover monthly rent.

As a family with 2 very young children, and one in middle school, Mrs. Contreras is growing increasingly more concerned about their safety and wellbeing. Finding schooling has been unsucessful due to their temporarily homeless state, and they have been forced to live in areas that are rife with crime.

A very hard working family, the Contreras are deeply grateful for every penny that can be donated to their cause. Their children need your help!

Announcing the Campaign to Help an Australian Women's & Children's Shelter



Help provide a safe haven for women and children in regional Queensland, Australia.


Brisbane, Queensland, Australia  January 11, 2015 – A non-profit organisation providing shelter for women and children in their time of need is looking for funds to make their shelter sustainable.

The shelter consists of 4 houses sitting together on one acre in a small town in regional
Queensland where women and their families can come and stay when they need to seek refuge.

The women and families who use this shelter can come from anywhere. The location is within one hours drive from a major regional airport. To help make it easier for the families who many need help, the shelter will assist with the cost of flights for any person in need.

The cause for this shelter runs deep. The cycle of violence and despair is difficult to escape, and their goal  is to give those dependent upon on the shelter every chance possible to start again in a safe and secure location. With the four houses, each consisting of 3 bedrooms, they are able to accomodate women on their own, or even whole families in need. The location chosen for the shelter is far removed from where these families have come, and provides peace and quiet in a quietly supportive small community with all amenities including a local police station for support.

Needed is the funds to keep the program going, and allow the shelter to provide free accomodations to both patrons and volunteer staff. The seeds to this program are already secured through a a generous donation of partial ownership of this property to the group running the shelter, and the first two houses are ready  for occupation. Volunteers are generously helping to run the program and are also provided free accomodation. While there is no cost to any woman or family staying with us, the shelter is relying on the support of donors to make this sustainable.

Any assistance, however small, will help to keep this program going.

Thank you.

Announcing the Education For Muntanga in Zambia Campaign



Creating A Life With Education For Muntanga

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – January 11, 2015 – Anne-marie is a 22 year old Zambian girl, studying Economics and Finance in Vancouver, Canada.

Last summer, she took some time out to visit her mother, who lives back home in Zambia. During this time, she was pleasantly surprised to meet a new addition to our extended family; Muntanga. Muntanga is a smiley, friendly and polite 9 year old girl who lives with her large family in the Zambian countryside.

Although she is just 9 years old, she has already lived an incredibly brutal life. Her stepmom regularly beats her, and forces her to partake in chores, which are way beyond her ability and age. Resultantly, her mother, an incredibly loving lady, has made the noble decision to provide free education for Muntanga, so that she may endure a brighter and better future, away from the difficulties faced at home.

What We Need & What You Get

During my childhood, her mother taught her to believe that education has a wonderful ability in changing not one person’s life, but entire communities Muntanga, given the proper love and support that a child deserves, can rise above her current circumstances, and grow into a kind and thoughtful woman, armored with the skills necessary to move forward from her past.

With your help, we can build a better future for Muntanga; increasing the likelihood that she may one day feel compelled to give something back to society. One life saved goes a long way… With your help and support, we can change the life of a young girl for the better.

Muntanga needs contributions to go to school, to buy her a uniform, a pair of  shoes, books and all the other necessities children need to learn. A proportion of the money will be used to feed her and pay for her healthcare, whilst the remaining funds will support living and transportation costs.

Our ultimate goal is to give Muntanga a normal, privately educated upbringing, away from the difficulties faced at home.

About Muntanga

Muntanga has been funny, sweet, motivated and kind; a quick and enthusiastic learner, who is an absolute pleasure to be around. Although she has only spent a short time with my mother, her confidence has already increased dramatically, and her ability to solve problems never ceases to amaze us.

Unfortunately, the difficult economic climate of recent years, has hit the general population in Zambia hard, applying enormous pressure on my mother’s attempts in providing free education for Muntanga. This breaks her Mom’s heart, not because she struggles to live, but because she is faced with the incredible real possibility that she may have to let Muntanga down.

Phoenix, AZ – January 10, 2015 – Speediculousbikes.com announces their Indiegogo campaign  to build an electric vehicle custom shop. They are looking for seed money to make their dream of custom electric vehicles to become a reality.

Speediculousbikes.com’s motto is K.I.S.S.. Having attempted to start a business once before, they've learned a lot about what it takes to get started. They have a plan, the materials, and have the potential customers. What Speediculousbikes.com needs now is the support a few giving donors!

The use of fossil fuels has reached a tipping point, and many people are looking for alternative transportation. With electric vehicles becoming more and more popular, economical, environmentally friendly, long rang capable, etc, he list could go on, the viability of the product is here to stay and a steadily growing area of technology and market.

The fantastic thing about our growing company is that we have a number of those “firsts” that are difficult to find at the start: we have presence on social media, we have a number of prospective customers, we have the plans already in place for our first line of vehicles, and have a source for the materials and parts necessary to complete the first few builds. What we DON'T have, however, is the money to build those first few and get us going!

Needed is the seed money to build the first two custom bikes. These can be built with higher quality parts, top speeds higher, range further than competition, and sold for nearly half of the competitions selling price. With the first two built and sold to our prospective buyers, two more can be built and a few other products can be sourced to offer as well. The long-term goal is to eventually offer DIY motor kits for cars, bikes, boats, airplanes, the sky's the limit!

About Speediculousbikes.com

With a fundraising goal of $3,700 in seed money, this custom electric vehicles business can be on its way to its first sales, a constantly growing inventory of products, and customized items for sale to a growing market of buyers and aficionados of electric vehicles.
