A quick question for the group

[Robert Turner]

Slightly off topic I am involved with various charites in the Philippines and we often look to raise funds abroad for individual children that have needs above and beyond those of their fellow street children.

Good examples would be for medical assistance or for possible training in a particular field for the older ones.

In these instances we work away from the charities and directly with the foster families or carers. We have explored fund raising in the US through crowd funding sites but these require a US or UK based account or simply do not support the payment options we have available here. It's become incredibly frustrating and my question is this.

Is anyone aware of any avenues we could explore to raise funds for these individual cases, both in the US and UK. It's incredibly rewarding work and we would love to find kindred spirits to help out. Even if it's simply to raise awareness.

I would really love to help but I am just not in the right place mentally at the moment to do anything. I was involved in charity fundraising in Egypt and it was so rewarding.

At the moment though I am not in a very good place mentally. As I begin to heal though, and I start to feel better then I would be able to focus on helping out in some way.

Good luck and I think what you are doing is wonderful.

I would love to help and if I knew a little more about how this charity works I may be able to research and come up with some helpful ideas for you. Is there a website or a link to an article where I could possibly learn more about this? If there is, please post it here and we will brainstorm. I'm sure with all our minds focused together we will come up with a helpful solution.

Your service is very honorable. Have you tried churches and meeting up with them? What about GoFundMe? ( is this the right name?)
I do hope you go and the children you help and find hope and financial support.
