The idea is simple. Users can raise money for much needed hospital equipment just by searching and shopping online through hospitalAID.com. Each month they donate 50% of their gross revenue to hospital charitable trusts, specifically for them to buy much needed equipment. So just by using hospitalAID.com you could help raise enough money to save lives and improve the quality of care in their hospitals. hospitalAID.com enables you to search the web, shop online and generate money for their hospitals to buy new beds, baby incubators, CAT scanners and other vitally needed medical equipment all at the same time! There's absolutely no charge to you, so remember to use hospitalAID.com everyday for your searches and shopping online.

WHAT CAN BE EASIER than clicking through to The Breast Cancer website? They need help to attract enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It will take you less than one minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). It costs you nothing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visitors to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. Please tell ten friends to tell ten today.

A young and healthy man wants to kill himself. Do you tell him he has everything to live for? If you're not sure how to answer, the Samaritans really want to hear from you. Samaritan volunteers are ordinary people. They come from all walks of life and all backgrounds and all cultures, but they have one thing in common - they are all very good listeners. All their volunteers receive special training in listening skills to help them respond to people in crisis. They are looking for people who can empathise with their callers, and be caring and understanding of their situation.
