Andrea's "Be an Angel" Foundation to Help those in Need,
particularly the Hidden Homeless
(In
operation prior to Oprah's Angel Network!)
The foundation is closed until further notice. All
funds have been depleted and the deficit has been
covered. Now that I'm days away
from turning 60 it's time to pay off the rest of my debts
after my stay in St. Catharines
Ontario (See:
October 2006) and start saving for
my retirement (if it isn't too late). Many people have
benefitted from this foundation over the years, but now I
must look after my own personal needs. Thanks for your
interest.
This
was my foundation:

If you would like to support my mission of helping people
in crisis (not necessarily financial crisis), feel free to
donate any amount using the Paypal button below.
Please
note: I
check out every request. I don't give money to strangers
without first asking for these 2 tasks to be completed:
1.
Tell me 10 things you have already tried in an effort to
solve the problem.
2. Tell me 10 things you will do this week to try to solve
the problem.
(Are you surprised that those who ask me for money never
respond to these 2 questions?)
All donations - even the amount deducted for PayPal's
processing fees - go entirely to specific causes. I keep
none of the money. For example, when someone donates
$20.00, I write a check for $20 to send to a bank account
opened to help an uninsured family who lost everything in a
house fire.
Just tell me how you'd like your donation allocated. I've
designed the payment button below so you can donate in
$1.00 increments. You decide how much you want to
contribute.
You can also send unused postage stamps (US and Canadian),
unexpired grocery coupons (US and Canadian), and Canadian
Tire Money.
Also, if you purchase any
of the following digital publications, all income from them
is donated to the
Reynolds Foundation - even the PayPal
transaction fees, which I personally cover:
3 Recipes: Saurkraut Balls, Andrea's Award Winning
Curried Avocado Soup, Black Olive
Appetizers, (all 3 for $3.50)
Booklet:
Sell Your (Mobile) Home in 60
Days ($9.95)
Booklet:
Charity Begins Next Door; Much Needed Gifts
for Anyone Facing Financial
Crisis, ($5.00)
Article:
Cheap Thrills: 65 No-Cost, Low Cost Romantic
Activity Ideas.
($3.99)
This
is what my foundation has funded in the past:
• Warm
clothes to someone who has none,
• Textbooks for a low
income student,
• Starting over cash
for a family after losing their home in a
fire,
• Small
stipends for public school students,
• Prepaid phone
cards,
• Beds and
bedding for children with none,
• Household items to
families who have lost their homes,
• Heat turned on when
there's no money to pay utility bills,
• Funds for public
transportation,
• Toys for kids who
have none,
• Baby clothes to
shelters,
• Household necessities
to moms when they leave a shelter,
• Food when there is no money to buy fresh meats and
produce,
• Donations
toward medical expenses,
• Donations toward funeral
expenses.
If your donation is $50.00
or larger you may receive a copy of Andrea's
booklet, Charity Begins Next Door: Much Needed Gifts
for Anyone Facing Financial Crisis
Please
provide your mailing address so we can send you a
receipt and the booklet.
As long as possible, your entire contribution, including
PayPal's transaction fees ($.30 plus 2.9-3.4%), will be
spent entirely on actual assistance, not for
administration, promotion or applicable income
taxes.
You can contribute
securely with this convenient PayPal button: (It's in the
name of Andrea Reynolds International. That's my "umbrella"
company. I have 2 web sites and for convenience, I use just
one PayPal Account for both of them. But I'm organized and
keep the funds separate.)
