Announcing the Campaign to Reunite a Child with her Father



Help a Little Girl Visit her Father Overseas While he Fights for Our Country

Chubbuck, Idaho  – February 13, 2015 – The Ohara family, consisting of two loving parents and a beautiful little girl, announce the campaign to fund their daughter's trip to visit her father in Korea as he fights for the United States Army.

It can be incredibly difficult for any couple to be separated, and the Oharas are no different. In their case, however, their daughter also suffers the sacrifice of having a father in the military. While they are able to keep in contact via phone, e-mails, web chats and more, it just isn't the same as seeing your family in person.

The Oharas opened this GoFundMe project to attempt to raise money to take their daughter for a visit to Korea, where her father is stationed. They hope to raise at least $4,500, which will cover flights for both mother and daughter, a hotel room for their visit, as well as other travel expenses that come with such a visit (including travel, incidentals, meals, etc).

By donating to this fundraising effort, you are, quite simply, reuniting a child with her beloved father. Please help this little girl see her father again, and make his long period of service for the United States go a little faster.

Announcing the Campaign to Provide Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet



Help a Growing Wireless Internet Provider Expand their Business

North Vass, North Carolina – February 13, 2015 – The Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet Service, and new internet provider company based out of North Carolina, is announcing their campaign to raise funds to expand their business.

The mission of the Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet Service is to provide reliable, affordable internet service powered through solar power. Growing in popularity, the company already has customers ready to sign on because their existing internet infrastructures are terrible and unreliable. As a company focusing their internet provider services on solar power, their business is set to be profitable and poised for Massive Growth.

The business itself has been operational for a year, and exists fully off-grid using solar power. This can mean that in times of brown- or black-outs, communities all over the world could still rely on their internet service for home, business, and more.

Unlike many internet service competitors, the Extreme Solar Wireless Broadband Internet Service marries an unused (in the WiFi world) ”link aggregation” technology with the reliability of solar power. As they have been in operation for a year, the foundation of fully operational service has already laid. They are ready to ramp up to full service.

By donating to this fundraising effort, you are not only getting in on the ground floor of a booming industry and a potentially huge player in the market. You are also helping the company stay locally owned, providing local jobs to communities in desperate need.

Announcing the Campaign to Provide 100% Free and Green Energy on the go!



Help a new start-up company that focuses on designing innovative, problem solving products for today’s mobile lifestyles.

Boston, MA – February 4, 2014 -- An innovative product geared specifically toward travelers, the PLugg is the first USB battery charger that combines a USB mini generator powered by the suitcase wheel. When you plug your cell phone into the USB port on your PLUGG the phones battery is charged by the rolling motion of your suitcase wheel as you are walking or by PLUGGs internal battery if you are seated.

This extra battery, located inside PLugg, acts as an emergency backup battery should you need one, and it’s also automatically charged while you drag your suitcase. When you need, you just connect your device to the USB port. On full charged battery an electronic circuit will stop the charging phase in order to protect the battery.
A mini USB port on the PCB and a supply cable will allow to recharge the Plugg’s battery on a standard home plug in order to have your energy reserve ready faster.
The goal for this crowdfunding project is to help raise funds to put the PLugg into production. Funding is needed to buy all the components, pay for the first production run, and pay for all the certification like CE, RoHS, and WEEE. Next will be to complete all developmental steps, from tooling, molds, parts procurement, certification, packaging etc., all this leading to final production. PLugg is asking for $150k to complete the development and to produce the first line run. There are many exciting discounts and offers available to early backers, and PLugg hopes to turn this product into a something special that consumers are going to love!
About the Plugg Company

They are a partnership founded by a group of longstanding friends that have unique and experienced disciplines, ranging from engineering, industrial design, graphics, international sales and marketing.

Help Sandler Ernst pay his tuition and stay out of debt

However, he came across a harsh reality. He might not be able qualify for the massive student loans that would be needed in order to pay for law school. Sandler has been forced to put approximately 2,900 dollars on several credit cards just to be able to live. Recently, Sandler was fortunate to have landed a job as a legal assistant. However, this position does not make nearly enough to settle the debt by the time Sandler would need to apply for loans. Due to this income, it will take years to pay back. Anything will help.

Sandler plans to be an Adoption attorney when he graduates law school. As an adopted child, Sandler feels that it is important to provide others the same opportunities that were provided to him. Good and ethical adoption attorneys help society by placing babies with loving families.

By helping to pay of his debt, you will allow Sandler to pursue his goal of making the world a better place.

Announcing the Campaign To Educate Adults and Children about the Basics of Financial Literacy



Help a Former Hedge Fund Analyst Create a Monthly Newsletter to Teach Adults and Children How to Manage their Finances

San Francisco, CA – January 27, 2015 – Noh-Joon Choo and his company, S&C Messina, have long been successful in the hedge fund market. While working on Wall Street, Choo and his partners felt it was their duty to leave their careers to study and replicate Warren Buffett's extremely successful financial strategies. With 10+ years of collective experience in the market, Choo and his partners now feel obliged to share and demystify finance for everyone on Main Street, young and old.
Choo's goal is to develop a monthly newsletter and a website to educate kids and adults alike about the basics of financial literacy. As experts in the field, they are well aware of the big words used by financial advisors and finance professionals, and want the average person (and child) be able to feel both comfortable and responsible with their own financial future.
The newsletters will tap into the lessons, mistakes and experiences that have picked up along the way by the members of S&C Messina, as they strive to replicate the Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway strategy.

About  Noh-Joon Choo
Mr. Choo graduated from Yale in 2006, majoring in Political Science w/ a concentration in International Relations. Following a distinguished college career, he then worked in investment banking in New York at Lazard and GLC Advisors from 2007-2011. Later experience was gained in public & pre-IPO equity financing at Lazard in addition to distressed debt and restructuring advisory in Chapter 11 corporate bankruptcies at GLC Advisors.
Mr. Choo worked as an analyst on the founding team of 3 Twelve Capital, that launched in 2011 as a $180 million start-up, multi-strategy, event-driven hedge fund.
