Hey, did you know that my sister is a charity case? Yep, the media is even covering her sob story:
Fundraising via the internet is being touted as the future of charity. At realitycharity.com, you can share your ailment online and see who feels sympathetic.

Not all appeals are successful: McCann-Swanson, a 30-year-old from Wisconsin, has more than met her target in just four weeks, but countless others – such as Sarah Jenkins from Chesham in Buckinghamshire, looking for $60,000 (£30,000) to clear her student loans – have yet to raise a penny.
“Hey brother, can you spare a few grand?” (Mike Peake, _The Guardian_ – July 9, 2007)
Oh, it’s so sad. If you would like to donate to help her out: go here.

Heh. I guess she forgot to mention her starving parents in Holland Michigan.
hey..! i did mention my parents.. (just didn’t mention you were starving) on the website and in my radio interview, heh. Anyone heard it yet? I still haven’t.. I need to contact them.
thanks for finding this in the Guardian – I normally check this out cause I get the guardian free at work.. but i’ve been off for the week, didn’t know anything about it!
