<DIV>I've been researching online and the only thing I can find about this is similar ideas being discussed on blogs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is this something that you can help me establish?</DIV>

<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 "donors" and "recipients"</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><BR>Hi Bobby,<BR><BR>we don't have much operational means, but as a set of online media and a community, we can certainly help with publicising your initiative, getting you more contacts and perhaps even volunteers and collaborators,<BR><BR>don't hesitate to tell me (us) more and I can already share with our list,<BR><BR>Michel<BR><BR></DIV></DIV></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'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>
