I am aware of an organization trying to help Iowa flood victims. There is a team in Iowa right now but are being told basically that their
help is not needed, however the team knows of people living in their cars or in tents who do need the help.

There are members on the MicroGiving website
willing to donate to these families. We do not wish to deal with large charity programs that will decide who gets help or how much help they
get. We want to be able to read their stories and decide who we will help and with how much.

What we need is a way to reach those who are not getting the federal, state or local aid.

We are reaching out to Iowa news sources, forums or email groups in hopes that someone will
print, air or share by word of mouth the website name of MicroGiving.com and let people know
there are members ready and waiting to send donations through the site and offer them links to members who can send care packages. We just need to know who they are. If they can sign up at the website we can help.

This site also has a special registration section for Iowa Flood Victims. We need to know who needs help, The Microgiving team will verify the story and put their request for help live so members can donate to these individuals or families. We also have two fund raisers going right now. Here are those links

I have been helped by MicroGiving and my local news interviewed me about that. If you want to make sure MicroGiving is real and does actually help before sharing that info, you can check it out through a trusted news station. Here is the link to my interview with my local news source.

MicroGiving members do help! Please share the website info with Iowa Flood Victims so they can find some help they need.

Thank you for your time

Romance is never far away today and it will fill you with joy. If you've been hoping to kiss a certain person under the mistletoe but have despaired that it would ever happen, your wish could come true now. If you fancy trying your luck in the sales you'll find some great bargains, but try not to get carried away and bring home the whole shop.
