Announcing the Campaign to Raise Money for ALS



Help raise money for treatment of ALS through Debra’s Journey for Life Foundation

Orlando, Florida  February 19, 2015 – Debra Haugabrook-Briggs announces the campaign to raise money for the Debra’s Journey for Life Foundation. Debra was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, on September 10, 2012. Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a
neurodegenerative disease that weakens neurons in the brain and upper spinal cord which control
muscles. This disease eventually leaves the patient completely paralyzed, but the majority of people with ALS will maintain hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste. Currently there is not a cure for ALS, it is a fatal disease with a devastating journey.

At any one time, there are about 30,000 people living with ALS, each year 5,000 people are diagnosed. The cause of ALS is unknown, it is such a rare disease and most people will never know anyone with ALS in their life time. Because it is so unknown, it does not get the attention, thus is lacking in research funding/focus from drug companies, nor does it get adequate support and awareness from others.

Debra's husband, Walter Briggs (former New York Jets quarterback), has been instrumental in helping to raise millions of dollars for many Charities throughout the Country with Golf Tournaments, and Bowling Tournaments. He of course is in the forefront of this fight against ALS with alongside his wife. They never thought we would be in this situation, stricken with such a horrific disease and in
a fight for life.

Your Gift donations to Debra’s Journey for Life Foundation will help The ALS Association and ALS Therapy Development Institute support research to find a cure for ALS. You will also be providing help to much-needed services for many ALS patients and their families affected by this disease. Join Debra’s Journey for Life Foundation in their efforts by making a difference with this cause.

Announcing the Friends of Emma Campaign for our Critical Care Rescue Dogs



YOUR love - can help build FOREVER for our deserving critical care rescue dogs!

Fort Worth, TX  February 18, 2015 – Elizabeth Hart and her partner, Kyle, announce the campaign to expand their animal rescue organization, known as “Friends of Emma”. Elizabeth and Kyle have spent more than 5 years rescuing and finding good homes for a variety of lost animals. They aid shelters, animal clinics, rescue groups and private individuals from all across the country - who send the Hart family the most dire critical medical cases. Most of the medical cases the Hart family has come across has been paid from their own pockets, along with generous donations. Despite the fact that their daughter, Kylie, suffers from Cystic Fibrosis, they have spent most of their time improving the lives of the little creatures they have grown to love.

They are currently maintaining two storage units (which we access weekly) containing their stock of medical supplies, fundraiser inventory, packing & shipping supplies,care furnishings, therapy equipment, household necessities, food, supplements and all of the "essentials" of providing for special needs animals. These units cost nearly 600.00 each month - funds that could otherwise be put towards more productive expenses. The rescue is now bursting at the seams with new friends, and the Hart family simply has no more room for the animals they love to help.

Friends of Emma is seeking funding in the amount of $200,000 to cover the purchase of the new home. If they are not able to move forward with purchase of this home within the next 60 days, they stand to lose all that they have put into it thus far – approx. $40,000.00 of their personal savings - their entire "nest egg". Please consider donating to help them keep their rescue open!

Announcing the Campaign to Kickstart a new Speed Reading App



Help an Entrepreneur Introduce a Unique New App Designed to Teach Speed Reading

Charlotte, NC  – February 16, 2018 – Jordan Miller, a 20 year old Entrepreneur/Actor from Charlotte, North Carolina, announces the campaign to introduce a new and unique reading app, designed to teach the average reader to “speed read” at at least twice the normal reading speed.

Jordan Miller is a young man who has seen a lot, and endured more. After suffering bouts of depression in his early teens, Jordan sought out the advice of others (including many popular self-help gurus) and has even written his share of self-help and self-enlightment books.

He has now turned his attention to the subject of speed reading, a skill Jordan has personally developed. Through his innovative new app, called KINDLINE, the average reader can take their own e-books as well as those purchased through Amazon's Kindle Store, and learn how to speed read. The app will utilize kindles existing cloud (online storage) and it will have the ability to open kindle books that a customer already owns on their existing kindle cellphone app. KINDLINE utilizes a unique automated function that leads the reader to increase his or her speed according to the reader's own preferences.  The reader can select the speed, background opacity, and more. The average reader will see their speed increase, while they are able to absorb more information within every book they read on the app. KINDLINE is designed especially for students and other avid readers who may not have the time to read leisurely, but still want to glean important information from the text.

Jordan is seeking funding of $100,000 to develop, implement, and market the KINDLINE app. The market is bare of quality speed reading apps, and this one is sure to find a niche as a top speed reading app.

Announcing the Campaign to Kickstart a new Graphics Company



Help a graphic designer live his dream of owning his own business

Madison, Wisconsin  February 15, 2015 – Ulises Palacios and his partner announce the campaign to raise funding for their new company,  On Demand Graphics. They are currently an in-home start up with all the right tools and even more potential for growth. Ulises and his partner have a combined 25+ years in printing and graphic installation. They provide various custom printing services: including decorated apparel (t-shirts, hoodies, uniforms, etc) vehicle graphics, signs & banners, and canvas prints (both gallery wrapped and unmounted).

Ulises is a very talented graphic designer and artist. However, there is little room for growth or advancement in his current job, and he expects that the business he currently works for will be closing its doors within the next 3 years. Ulises is desperate to find funding to help make his dream a reality before time runs out.

ON Demand Graphics has invested over $60k for the purchase of a large-format printer and Direct-to-Garment t-shirt printer. These pieces of equipment are incredibly expensive, and both partners have completely depleted their savings making the purchase. Ulises has found that he must spend the majority of his time working for his current job to make ends meet, and this is detracting from his new venture. It's becoming difficult for the company to get off the ground without additional funding.

With the money raised, they intend to work to improve their home base and make it suitable for everyday production. The anticipated end result is quitting their full-time jobs in favor of opening a retail location to house their business.

On Demand Graphics looks forward to showing their appreciation to supporters with a product sample, so it has been asked that potential supporters leave an email at time of contribution if they would like a sample when they donate.

After suffering a number setbacks including strife with co-owners, bad management and inventory tracking, as well as the general ups and downs of the market, Press Station struggled to keep their doors open.

The Press Station is attempting to raise $20,000 to make renovations and repairs, purchase new sublimation equipment, pay back family and friends who they are still in debt to. Another portion of the funding will be used to pay the ex-partner for his portion of the business, and use some of it for bank funding to secure a second location. This will also help with advertising and marketing Press Station.

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.
