I’m the founder of a newly formed LLC in Illinois, a recycling and repurposing business born from both necessity and legacy.

My father, Frank, spent his life hunting for treasures in what most people called “junk.” He dove into dumpsters, combed parking lots for pennies, scoured auctions and estate sales, and filled shelves with glassware, curiosities, and broken bits with hidden beauty. As a kid, I used to cringe, embarrassed by his oddities. But after he passed—and after walking through some of the darkest times of my life—I finally understood what he saw: possibility. I inherited a few old trailers he left behind and my initial plan was to scrap them out. But as I began sorting the contents, I realized they were full of his treasures—vintage glassware-depression glass, carnival glass, milk glass, art glass-as well as antique tools, old vintage chainsaws, countless collectible items and repurposable materials, old computers and electronics, a very old  jukebox, and the coolest pharmaceutical triple beam scales from the late 1930’s. Turns out my dad was far more knowledgeable and interesting than I ever gave him credit for and I wish he would have been here still to see the transformation I underwent out in those trailers.

That’s when I inherited the passion for treasures and this idea was born—not just as a business, but as a mission to honor his spirit: a spirit to rescue, restore, and rehome discarded objects.

Every year, the U.S. sends over 146 million tons of waste to landfills. According to a study done by the EPA, 75% of waste in the US could be reused or recycled. Furniture, textiles, glassware, electronics, and clothing often end up buried instead of reborn. If even small community projects like mine diverted just .01% of that waste, we could keep 14,600 tons of usable material out of landfills each year—reducing emissions, saving energy, and creating local jobs.

That’s what I’m trying to do here in Illinois.

My goal is to create a local reuse and recycling hub that:

 

• Sorts and cleans usable goods saved from the landfill
• Refurbishes items to original condition (or close to it)
• Creates jobs with profit sharing
• Sells reusable items locally and online
• Recycles recyclable materials (metals, precious metals, electronics, aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard and compost) at local recycling centers and scrapyards.
• Offers pickups for unwanted but usable items
• Donates time, materials and money toward educating the public about waste and creating a circular economy
• Gives back to the community.  We have committed to donating 10% of our e-commerce sales. Once our business is stable, we will raise that percentage.
• Aims to standardize a circular economy system
• Create a community compost garden where locals can bring compostables in exchange for fresh veggies, fresh herbs, or quality potting soil.
• Inspires others to rethink what they throw away
• Makes trash look good ;)

I’ve registered my business with the state already, but I’m seeking donations to help cover essential startup costs such as vehicle maintenance, sorting materials, cleaning equipment, tools, personal protective equipment, gasoline, and essential  marketing materials—The market is huge. And ripe. Startup money could put us ahead years, at the forefront of a movement that will eventually become the global standard.

Even a small contribution helps move this mission forward.

This isn’t just a business; it’s a legacy—for my dad, Frank, and for everyone who ever saw something beautiful in the broken.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and believing in second chances—for materials, for people, and for the planet.

Hello kind and beautiful souls,

I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season and spending meaningful time with your family and loved ones. Wishing each of you a very warm and peaceful Christmas. I truly wish Santa could step in and help me through what I’m facing right now. But since he can’t, I’m here with humility, asking for your support.

I never thought that I would be in a situation like this, but here I am, reaching out to random people during one of the most difficult phases of my life.

I have been unemployed for the past year and to my luck, I am not really able to find any suitable jobs recently. Over the last few months, I was into building a business project I truly believed in. I put everything I had into it. Unfortunately, that project could not move forward due to a lack of funding. My unemployment situation made things even worse. In the process, I exhausted most of my personal savings and also borrowed money from a close friend. When the project stalled, I was left in debt and in disappointment. I tried asking my friends and family for some financial support, even asked some banks to lend me some money, but none of them worked out for me.

Despite this setback, something unexpected and hopeful happened. Recently, I submitted a new business idea to a business incubator in Germany, which I’ve been developing and refining for nearly six years. To my surprise and relief, the project was accepted. The incubator wants me to relocate to Germany within the next couple of months so I can work with them closely to bring this idea to life.
This opportunity feels like a turning point. For the first time in a long while, it feels like my life is finally moving in the right direction.

However, there’s one major obstacle. I don’t have the financial means to make this move. I’m not in a position to take another loan, and the incubator’s financial support is strictly limited to the project itself—not my personal relocation or living expenses. Before I can even accept this opportunity, I must clear my existing debt and meet the financial requirements for immigration.

This is why I’m here, asking for your help. I need to raise $45,000, broken down transparently as follows:

• $12,000 to repay the loan I owe my friend

• $4,000 for the incubator’s onboarding and program fees

• $25,000 to show immigration authorities that I can financially support myself during my first year in Germany while I work on my project

• $4,000 for flight tickets, visa costs, and essential relocation expenses

The project that has been accepted is not just another startup idea for me, it’s my life’s work.

And the project in question is a mobile app designed to protect people during violent or dangerous situations. The app would enable individuals to discreetly alert local authorities in real time and also provide post-incident support for those who are traumatized. The vision is to eventually work alongside police forces, emergency services and volunteers across multiple countries, helping to prevent harm and improve response times, regardless of a person’s age, gender, or background. At its core, this project is about keeping people safe and reducing violence wherever possible.

I know this is a big amount of money to ask for, and I don’t take it lightly. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean more to me than I can properly express. And if you’re unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this message could help it reach people who can. I will try my best to pay back my supporters as soon as I have sufficient funds.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness, whether through support or sharing, could genuinely change the course of my life and help turn a socially impactful idea into reality.

Hi everyone, my name is Napoleon, and I run Junior’s Treasures Emporium on Ebay. I primarily sell collectibles on eBay and also locally. I started this business because I love the thrill of finding unique items that bring people nostalgia, joy, and excitement—whether it’s trading cards, vintage finds, or hard-to-find pieces for serious collectors.

Your support will go toward:

• Purchasing high-demand collectible inventory

• Buying in bulk when I find great opportunities

• Shipping supplies (boxes, labels, thank-you cards)

• Improving my packing/organization setup

  I’m raising $9,500 to expand my inventory and strengthen my shipping/organization setup so I can keep up with demand, reduce out-of-stock issues, and provide a better variety of quality collectibles.

  Right now, my budget limits how many high-demand items I can restock or purchase when I find great opportunities. With more inventory, I can list more consistently, fulfill orders faster, and grow into a more reliable long-term small business.

  How the $9,500 will be used:

  • $7,000 – High-demand collectible inventory (restocks + new finds)

  • $600 – Shipping supplies (boxes, labels, protective materials)

  • $400 – Storage/organization (shelving, bins)

  • $350 – Listing/photo improvements

  • $250 – Local selling setup

  • $300 – Small business tools/fees

  • $600 – Buffer for time-sensitive sourcing deals

  Every contribution helps me grow step by step. If you can’t donate, a share is also a huge help.

Every contribution helps me grow this small business step by step. If you can’t donate, sharing my campaign means a lot to me, too. Thank you for supporting my journey and helping me build something that can last.

Starting Legacy Medical transport LLC is more than just a business idea for me. It is a mission born from real life challenges, responsibility, and the desire to help others who face the same obstacles as I do. As a parent of multiple children, including a son who relies heavily on consistent and safe transportation, I felt first-hand what it means to struggle with mobility limitations while trying to meet medical and daily needs. Living with a disability has made it difficult for me to accompany my child to  appointments to school and to the bus stop. But it has also opened my eyes to how many other families in New York City experience the same hardship.

Transportation shouldn’t be the barrier that keeps people from receiving care. Unfortunately, in neighborhoods across New York City, it often is many elderly, disabled, and low-income families are forced to cancel appointments, missed vital medical follow-ups or struggle unnecessarily because they lack reliable, compassionate and affordable non-emergency medical transportation service.  I want to change that.

Legacy medical transport LLC is being built with the community in mind- children, seniors, disabled individuals and any person who needs safe, dependable and respectful transportation. My goal is to purchase a reliable, fuel efficient minivan that meets New York safety standards and ADA compliant needs.  Allowing me to begin serving clients immediately with my CDL class B license and years of passenger experience, I’m fully prepared to operate professionally and safely.

The start up funding, I’m requesting will go directly toward securing a vehicle, obtaining proper insurance, completing business formation filings, covering equipment expenses( such as safety kits and medical appropriate sanitation supplies), and launching operations. This business is not just for my financial stability, it also gives me the ability to help parents like myself, elderly neighbors and people in our community who simply need consistent transportation, they can trust.

Legacy Medical Transport LLC represents opportunity, independence, and community support. With the right funding, I can launch quickly and begin providing a service that genuinely changes lives. Every contribution brings me one step closer to helping families who depend on safe transportation every single day.

Hi there,

My name is Patrick, and I’m launching something I know will have a massive impact on the lives of thousands of people who are hungry for a new direction, a second chance, or simply a better way to provide for themselves and their families — all from home.

It’s called The Loan Broker Academy — and I’m asking for your help to bring it to life.

Why I’m Here Asking for Help

I’m seeking $7,500 in donations to help finish building and launching a world-class online education platform that teaches people how to become commercial & business loan brokers — a highly profitable, in-demand career that can be done completely remotely.

This isn’t some gimmicky online hustle or get-rich-quick scheme.

This is a real, professional career path — and our program is designed to train people to step into that career with knowledge, confidence, support, and real tools to succeed.

But I can’t do it alone.

What Is The Loan Broker Academy?

The Loan Broker Academy (LBA) is a comprehensive, all-in-one training and coaching platform that walks students step-by-step through how to become successful business and commercial real estate loan brokers.

It’s the kind of opportunity most people don’t even know exists — and I want to change that.

Once launched, members will get:

• Full access to our on-demand course modules
• Weekly group coaching and live Q&A calls
• One-on-one coaching, mentorship and support
• A professionally branded website and email
• A CRM system and lender database
• Direct support from an actual brokerage to help close real deals and earn commissions — even while they’re still learning

And the best part? It can all be done from home, on their own time.

This Isn’t Just an Idea — I’ve Done It Before

Between 2019 and 2024, I co-ran a similar training program where we averaged 10–12 new student enrollments every single month. It worked.

I saw firsthand how this kind of knowledge and mentorship could change people’s lives. People who were struggling, stuck in dead-end jobs, or just searching for a new way forward were suddenly learning how to build six-figure businesses of their own.

Now, I’ve taken everything I learned from that program — what worked, what didn’t, what could be done better — and I’m building a new and improved version that will be second to none.

With access to an existing commercial loan brokerage that will serve as the funding arm for our students, the infrastructure is already in place. I even have a key team member managing the brokerage, so I can focus 100% on launching the Academy.

All that’s missing now… is the funding to cross the finish line.

Why This Matters

We live in a world where more and more people are looking for ways to earn a living that doesn’t involve commuting, punching a clock, or relying on someone else to “give them a raise.”

People want flexibility. Purpose. A way to be their own boss.

The Loan Broker Academy offers exactly that.

It opens the door to a high-income, remote career in one of the most lucrative industries on the planet — commercial finance.

And the best part…AI can’t replace the human-aspect this business thrives upon.

It’s designed especially for people who want to start something of their own but don’t know where to begin. People who are willing to learn, ready to work, but just need the roadmap.

And I want to be the one to give it to them.

How the Donations Will Be Used

Every dollar will go directly toward:

• Finalizing course development
• Setting up the online learning platform
• Creating the student portal and CRM access
• Licensing software and payment systems
• Producing marketing materials for launch

I’m not asking for ongoing donations. I’m asking for just enough to finish what I’ve already started — and once this is launched, it becomes a self-sustaining platform that helps people for years to come.

Why You Might Want to Help

Maybe you’ve struggled to find your own opportunity.

Maybe you know someone who deserves a second chance — a veteran, a single parent, or someone hit hard by the economy.

Maybe you just like to help people who are out there genuinely trying to build something real.

Whatever your reason, I can tell you this: your donation will directly help launch a platform that helps others succeed.

I’m not asking for a handout. I’m asking for a hand in building something meaningful.

Bonus: Helping Veterans

Once we’re live, a portion of profits from the Loan Broker Academy will be regularly donated to an organization that supports U.S. veterans — such as the Wounded Warrior Project.

We’ll also be offering discounted enrollment to veterans transitioning out of service who are looking to start something new.

So in a way, your donation doesn’t just help me — it helps create a ripple effect that touches many lives.

Want to Help?

If you’d like to support this project, you can make a donation via the secure PayPal link below:

👉 https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/MJ49LKS43BW8C

When making your donation, you’ll have the opportunity to receive regular updates about the project, so you can see firsthand what you’ve helped build.

Even $100 or $500 makes a difference.

Once I hit the $7,500 goal, I’ll remove this post. I don’t want more than I need. Just enough to bring this project to life.

Thank you for reading…Thank you for considering it…And thank you — from the bottom of my heart — if you choose to be part of it.

Let’s launch something amazing together.

—
Patrick
Founder, The Loan Broker Academy

P.S. If you are among the first to see this, and are interested enough to donate the entire amount, I’d be more than happy to discuss an equity arrangement. Simply make your donation in the amount of $1 and be sure to leave your email.

I am a woman who always believes in helping others and giving back. But I find myself in a situation where I need help..

Currently, I’m trying to stabilize my life but I have bills and debt looming over my head and can’t seem to stay at work because of high levels of stress & anxiety that are affecting my health. I truly would love to start my Airbnb business and let go of my debt. The business would help me stabilize my life and my income. My goal is $10,500. 

This would cover my debt and the cost of getting the Airbnb up and running. If you can help me in any way, I would be extremely grateful!
Thank you.

My Story

Hello, my name is David, and I’m reaching out with a humble request and a hopeful heart.

Five years ago, my life changed in an instant. I was in a serious car accident that left me permanently disabled. Since then, I’ve been living on disability income — and while I’m grateful for the help, I’ve never stopped wanting to build something meaningful with my own two hands.

I’ve always had a love for the land, for nature, and for the peace that comes from working outside. Over the past few years, I’ve been studying and planning how to start a ginseng and bee farm right here at home — a project that could provide me with real income, independence, and purpose again.

---

My Vision

The plan is to grow wild-simulated ginseng, which takes several years to mature, while also raising bees to produce and sell honey. The honey sales will help support the project during the early years as the ginseng grows beneath the forest canopy.

I’ve already done the research, mapped out the plots, and developed a long-term business plan. I know this can work — it’s not just a dream, it’s a future waiting to grow.

This is more than farming to me — it’s a chance to create something good from the hardship I’ve been through. To show that even after tragedy, with enough patience and faith, something beautiful can still grow.

---

Why I Need Help

My biggest obstacle now is funding.

Because of my physical limitations, I need specialized adaptive equipment that will allow me to safely manage planting, maintenance, and harvesting on my own. There’s also fencing, soil preparation, ginseng seed, hive materials, and storage supplies to purchase.

I’m asking for help raising between $80,000 and $100,000 to make this dream a reality. Every dollar will go toward building a sustainable farm setup that supports both my health and the long-term success of the project.

This isn’t about luxury — it’s about independence. About creating a path forward where I can eventually wean myself off disability and build a life sustained by honest work and dedication.

---

Why This Matters

Being disabled has taught me a lot about patience, humility, and hope. But it also reminded me that even when life takes so much from you, you can still grow something new.

This project isn’t just for me — it’s something that gives back. The bees will help pollinate the area, the ginseng will restore native forest plants, and the income will allow me to live without depending on the system forever.

Every bit of help, whether it’s a small donation or simply sharing my story, brings me closer to that goal. You’re not just supporting a farm — you’re helping a man rebuild his life.

---

How to Help

If you’d like to support my project, you can donate directly through PayPal at: https://www.paypal.biz/disabledbutdetermond

Every contribution helps me move closer to independence and stability. I will share updates as I make progress, so everyone who helps can see how their kindness is turning into something real.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for taking the time to read my story, to believe in my dream, and to help me plant the seeds of a better future.

Sincerely,
David

I’m trying to get a passive income using Fidelity with dividends pays, but it requires a lot of money. I found some useful one like: Graniteshares Yieldboost TSLA ETF (TSYY), YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF (ULTY) or Bitwise COIN Option Income Strategy ETF (ICOI). Please, help me. I want to do stuff that normally can’t do right because of my income (14.98$ per hour). I am working at Medtronic (Juncos, Puerto Rico); Assembler lll is my job that, recently, obtained this year.

 

I know that this post/request feels poor. I’m sorry. And for taking some of your time reading this.

 

Have a nice day.

In January 2025 we opened the “Florida Frequency Farm”, a Wellness Center near Gainesville FL that utilizes energy, frequency, and light therapy, to assist the body in healing itself. This technology, called the EESystem, has helped us and our members obtain amazing results and transformations that are nothing short of miraculous. Due to protected areas, we unfortunately had to move to an area where we didn’t know anyone, so it is taking much longer to build up a member base than we anticipated. Despite the incredible results we’ve seen with our members, and with people reporting recovery from strokes, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, and more, we’re still struggling to keep our doors open.

With the technology being relatively unknown, concentrating our marketing on public awareness has proven to be the most effective. Our efforts are definitely starting to give positive results, but it looks like it will take a few more months before we have enough business to completely cover the operating expenses of rent, utilities, marketing , and other essentials. Currently we are short about $3200 dollars per month, just to break even. If we could just bridge the gap for a few more months while we continue to raise public awareness about this incredible technology, and work on increasing our memberships, we would ultimately be able to thrive and grow.

We believe in this mission so much that we have sacrificed everything to build it and keep it running, including our 401K, retirement investments, the equity in our home and cars, and liquidated almost all of our assets. Despite our passion and commitment, and the fact that the business is starting to gain momentum, we may have hit a wall as we no longer have anything to pull from to keep it running. This is why we’re we’re dropping our pride and asking for help to buy us a little more time.

Here’s why we decided to “Risk It All” to help others:

Two life-changing experiences led us to this point. First, my wife was born with a rare immune disease that lead to chronic long term infections, 2 pages worth of symptoms, and eventually MS. She has spent much of her life struggling just to survive. But my wife is a fighter and was blessed with a good grasp of science. She spent 40 years researching and trying alternative treatments that did little more than keep her alive… and then it all changed! She discovered the EESystem, a frequency/energy based technology that assists your body in healing itself by increasing energy production in the cell, oxygenation, stem stem cell production, and decreasing pain and inflammation. She suddenly went from an existence composed of prescription drugs, suffering horrible symptoms and fighting to even function, with little hope of a better future, to throwing the pill bottles away and enjoying life again with a whole new level of health and endless possibilities for the future!

Then, the second reason was nothing short of a miracle. I suffered a stroke that severely affected my ability to speak. I spent nearly a year in physical and speech therapy, but progress was insignificant, and I faced the possibility of losing my job—one that required clear communication. My wife convinced me to try the EESystem frequency therapy, and after just a few sessions, I saw an 80% improvement in my speech. It was a life-changing moment.

At that point, we realized that our dream of retiring and traveling the world would have to wait. Instead, we decided to help others who were suffering needlessly. Every year nearly 800,000 Americans suffer strokes, and many others deal with serious conditions that have no traditional answers and only get worse. We couldn’t turn our backs on them when we had found a solution that could help their body to heal itself.

So, we decided to postpone our personal dreams and dedicate ourselves to helping others. We opened our wellness center to give people the opportunity to experience the same miraculous results that changed our lives.

We believe in this mission with all our hearts, and we are committed to seeing it through, but without your help, we are nearly to the point where we won’t be able to continue the work we’ve started.

Thank you for considering a donation to our cause. Together, we can help people reclaim their health, their lives, and their hope for a better future.
