<div>My idea is very similar to <a href="http://prosper.com" target="_blank">prosper.com</a> but it would be charitable contributions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>People register as &quot;donors&quot; and &quot;recipients&quot;</div>
<div>Recipients - Individuals or families that are in need due to unforseen hardships.</div>
<div>Donors - Individuals or organizations who want to help those in need.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Recipients create a profile w/ pictures and an explanation of what happened and indicate what they need. $5000 for example because their car broke down.</div>
<div>Donors can browse or search profiles. Donors pick 3 specific profiles that they want to contribute to and the amount they want to contribute. I may be a donor who wants to contribute $100. I pick 3 profiles and the first profile to get enough people to contribute gets the donation.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>This is the basic idea.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let me know what you think.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks.</div>

<div>Hello Michel,</div>
<div></div>
<div>I have recently been thinking of p2p charity and am confident that I may have some very good ideas on how to implement such a system.</div>
<div>I&#39;ve been speaking w/ some people who might be willing to help me out and will soon be speaking w/ an attorney to learn about establishing a non-profit.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I was wondering if your organization would be available to help me implement my idea.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Manish (Bobby) Handa</div>
