Stop forced evictions in Chad

Hi everyone,

Sign this petition to stop the government of Chad from cruelly evicting people from their homes:

http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=2590179&aid=12964&ICID=E0910A01&tr=y&auid=5415312

Amnesty International also suspects that the government of Chad has evicted people who are their political opponents. This is shameful and outrageous. Nobody deserves this. But unless we put pressure on the Chad government to stop, nothing will change. (Pressure from citizens of countries who Chad crucially depends on for military aid and help (like the US), will be vital).

Sign now. Spread the word. Thank you to anyone who chooses to help!

Help struggling kids' wishes come true

Hi all,

Check out pixie117's post at lj community needagooddeed:

(The text in italics is from pixie117's post:)

I was looking on wishuponahero.com and came across a few wishes that some people might be able to help with. You would visit the site to contact them regarding fulfilling their wishes. These are wishes for their kids. I put descriptions behind the cut to keep your friends pages clean.

I know the economy has hit a lot of us really hard, but kids should not have to suffer too much through these rough times. These wishes I am posting require very little money (if any) money on your part, perhaps there is a way you can help out?


The Dollar Tree is a nifty place for cheap party decorations if you wanted to buy things to donate. I might be doing that for a few of these...Or you might have some things laying around that you could donate.

Help make kids' wishes come true. Times are hard. I understand if you can't help. But it will mean so much to these children if you do choose to pitch in. It only takes a little bit of money. Even presents you may have lying around would make a difference.

Thank you so much!

Help urgently needed for laifan

Read laifan’s post from lj community needagooddeed:

She desperately needs to move out. Laifan says that her stepmother is emotionally abusive to the point of driving laifan’s sister to leave home. Click on the link. See for yourself. It’ll show you pictures of the enormous clutter caused by her stepmother’s unbelievable spending habits (possibly caused by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Clothes strewn everywhere, so many shoeboxes there is barely enough space to walk.

Laifan’s stepmother has accused laifan of stealing, although laifan has done no such thing. laifan’s father stays neutral about this. Please donate if you can, to help laifan to move out. She can’t afford to keep on living like this.
