echoDonations.org

I signed up to support an organization called CA Environment Sustainer. I was happy about this but I have not received any more info about the company or a receipt for my donations. I would like to stop the automatic withdrawals but cannot find a number or web page for this organization. Can anyone tell me how to get in contact with them?

The auto-pay "CA Environment Sustainer" is a charge from an organization called Environment California. They can be reached at 1-800-401-6511. I work for a similar organization and had to direct several people to that number.

As many of you know I volunteer at ARNO (animal rescue new orleans) and WE REEALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY NNNEEEEEEEDDDD YOUR HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and if you have a pet of your own I don’t see how you could ignore this bullitin….you don’t even have to donate of volunteer at the shelter…you could just repost it and try to get the word to the people who do want to help…

here’s the deal:

Kitten season is upon us and in full swing.

We need KMR (Kitten Formula) desperately! I opened a new container of KMR (12oz size) yesterday evening…and it’s gone already! And that’s just the babies that I’m feeding! We’ve got more babies at Laura’s, Dawn’s and Tom’s and Vivian’s, and more tinies coming in!
We have several nursing moms at the shelter, and we plug new babies on the mommas whenever possible. But some babies are too sick, too unhealthy to be able to be plugged on…
The numbers are astonishing. ..Mrs.Laura brought 25 home with her last night, Tom has at least 5 (sick and ringwormy babies), Dawn has 8, Vivian has 4…and that doesn’t count what might come in today, nor does it count the babies that are on mommas that we still go through and supplement to make sure they are getting enough.

So, thinking outside the box (which probably isn’t outside the box at all), ARNO needs your support to make things happen, and continue to improve things for our animals and our volunteers. Think public support. Tell everyone you know about ARNO. Tell them that we need their help. Make a bulletin or blog on your MySpace or Facebook or where ever you socialize online. Tell people you meet about ARNO, get them interested (message me if you are gonna help and need/want some info ) .. .make them want to help the animals in any way they can.

ARNO needs funds to help us continue with our TNR (trap-neuter-realse) program. We will never be able to get a grip on all these babies if we can’t or don’t TNR.

We also need donations of KMR (kitten formula) , baby bottles (kitten), extra nipples for the bottles, cotton balls and sterile gauze pads, thermometer tip covers, lubricant, eye wash, heating pads (not auto shut-off),and/or baby blankies…

we need medicines and pharmaceuticals that we go through like water. Heartgard, Advantage, Revolution, K9Advantix, Capstar, large bottles of Pen-G, Albon, Strongid, DroncitPlus, Rimadyl, Prednisone, MarquisPaste, slides and cover slips, etc. Ask your vet if he has medicines that people have turned in when their pet passes, or meds that are near expiration that he does not want to keep or he cannot get credit for (most pharmaceuticals if kept correctly last one year past their expiration date), we always use bags of fluids: LRS (lactated ringers), etc. All these things will help us save money. We go through thousands of latex gloves each month to protect volunteers and not spread contagions as you have to change between each cage. Trifectant powder by the 10 lb. tubs are used monthly. We can also use kennels… when we fly out animals we need kennels for one way trips, as they don’t come back to us.

Also we need replacement trays for

if you have any of these items or if you could donate some money OR if you have things that you may think will help then don’t hesitate to bring it by…

thanks for reading and maybe helping….
p.s. I also would welcome any ‘out the box’ ideas from anyone… you never know where something could lead.

and if you wanna help here are some ideas that really won’t hurt you or your pocket at all
How about a garage sale that the proceeds benefit ARNO?
I cann even send you bookmarks to handout to identify the beneficiary which will send

Hmmm… Not a question, a good message though.

My car is a ‘98 VW, 145k with a broken turbo. Until the turbo went out the car was working just fine. It’s not drivable right now . . . or drives "unsafely" at 25-30 mph.

CarMax, where I’m planning to buy my new car would not give much if anything for this car. I actually would like to have cash and the Kelley Blue book value is ~ $2500, but the current repairs are about ~$2300. I don’t plan or want to sink money into fixing the car.

I was thinking about asking the German auto shop where I’ve been having it fixed for the last decade if they’d be interested in buying it . . . maybe even if only for parts. LAST resort would be to have the car towed and donated. I really want a little bit of money for the car, so donation really isn’t a first option.

Any ideas on what to do with my broken down Passat???
Holy cow! I never thought about washing the title! Yowza! Thanks for telling me about THAT!!!!

If you donate the car to a 501c3 charitable organization., you will (if you itemize) get a $500 tax deduction.

A junkyard will pay you scrap value, which would be in the $100-175 range, depending on the current prices of scrap steel.

Someone at the shop may be interested in buying the car, to fix up and resell. If you do sell it to the shop, make sure that you fill in a buyer’s name on the title, rather then leaving it blank. That way you are protected from accident or other claims. Keep a copy of the assigned title to prove who you sold it to

Can a family member transfer a auto loan over to anthoer family member with out the other person having to go take out a loan. I have bad credit and cant get a auto loan. my aunt bought me a vechicle but she had to fiance and put everything in her name.. how do i get everything into my name are at least get my name on the title are registration. I live in louisiana so I’m not sure if there can be two names on the title.. can anyone please give me some insight as to how i can fix this…The auto was just bought, and the loan is under her name. if she donates it to me then am i responseable for the loan as well?
because i cant get a lona due to my credit

Florence is half right, your aunt is on the hook for the payments. But, with regards to tickets, its either who is driving at the time (say you get pulled over) or whose name is on the registration (speeding ticket with camera). The car doesn’t have to registered to the person on the financing, I know thats how I get ford A plan. My dad’s "buys" it, but I make the payments to ford and they come in my name, but he is on the registration.

I live in the charlotte, North Carolina area and my JROTC program is rasing money for the March of Dimes. 2 of my friends and I came up with the idea to get a car and put it in the Quad then allow students to pay $1.00 to smash the car with a sledge hammer ($1.00 a hit) Our athletic department did it a few years back with one of the parents donating the car.

We have a trailor and a trurck to tow the car after (or before if necassary), idea apporved by our priniciple and JROTC leader, a auto-mechanic class that will prep the car, and all we are missing is A CAR!

Where can i go to see about getting an old peice of junk??

maybe someone on craigslist.com is giving one away in your area. It is worth a look, anyways.

You also might want to take a drive to the country and look around. Rednecks always have cars up on blocks in their front yard and a nice one might be willing to donate one if you can take it off of their hands.

Some friends and I have had a crew / car club for years. However it was mostly just hanging out and chilling. now that we are older and some members have or are planning to get motorcycles. we are moving more towards an official auto club. We have desire to return something to our community by starting charity events and the such. We have support but we’re trying to get away from the street crew image and a real club. we have our logo and some local merchants on board to help us (making the patches and such). we are NOT a 1% oriented club and truly wish to benefit the community. However, we haven’t looked into it yet, but we see it hard to do charity events (collecting donations and such) without going through some channels to take care of taxes and such. Also to be official so someone feels better about donating to a real club insted of just a bunch bikers or people in tricked out cars. any ideas to pursue this path are appreciated thank you.
PS- I don’t have internet right now, so it may take a day or so to respond to any feedback. thank you.
Yea, thanx alot Halfass, you were REAL helpful, being a "real" biker. We are not trying to be a biker club per se, but have support of both family riding clubs and the dominant 1% in the area. get your head outta your ass and don’t reply if your not going to help. thanks again to everyone else who answered. but like I just said the community is reaching out to us right now. hopefully we will get established soon.
BTW I didnt mean bikers wernt real clubs, I only ment that from a civilians pov. an established club is prob easier to believe would take the money you give and put to a good cause rather than a bunch of guys on harleys or tricked out cars claiming to be a club

You and your friends hearts are in the right place, but starting a club for charity benefits is not an easy thing to do, alot of legal steps and paperwork. There are many organizations out there ready for someone to help with theirs. When you and your buddies are ready to get out and do good deeds check into places like the local VFW, American Legion, Blue Star Mothers, Warriors Watch, and the one I belong to, the Patriot Guard Riders. The Warriors Watch is young, maybe 50,000 nation wide.
The Patriot Guard is over 185,000 strong to date nation wide. If you are interested in doing things that make a difference give these folks a look see. You can go to www.warriorswatch.org.
.www.patriotguard.org. Then go to YOUTUBE.COM and type in the names and watch videos of them both. By the way, both the Warriors Watch and Patriot Guard have no requirements that you ride a bike, we accept cages as well.
47 years of riding
By the way, we are not a club, no dues, and we are not a gang, just have strong beliefs in doing what is right. We are an organization, period.

Why not start up your own chapter of the Hells Angels? They are very well known and seem to generate lots of money.

Print Article Email Article Most Popular Change Type Size ASU scholarship program for non-citizens is revived
Anne Ryman
The Arizona Republic
Mar. 6, 2008 12:00 AM

A controversial scholarship that benefited Arizona State University students who are in the country illegally is being revived.

Since the news media reported last month that the special scholarship’s funding had run out for the 2008-09 school year, private donors in the Valley have stepped forward, ASU President Michael Crow said. ASU officials are working with a third-party group to provide scholarship money.

Crow said he "can’t guarantee," but it’s his hope that enough money will be available to cover the estimated 200 to 300 students who have to pay higher, out-of-state tuition as a result of changes in state law. ASU officials are advising those students to go ahead and register for fall courses. advertisement

"In the last few weeks, we’ve made tremendous progress with other parties outside the university to secure the resources," Crow said.

"So there will be the resources necessary for these students to continue their education."

A fund called the American Dream Fund Coalition has been set up and is being maintained by the non-profit group Chicanos Por La Causa.

He estimates the cost at about $3 million a year, adding that the money will come from private sources and not state funding.

For the past year, 207 undocumented immigrants who graduated from Arizona high schools have received private scholarship money through the ASU Foundation.

The scholarships started after the voter-approved Proposition 300 took effect in late 2006, requiring illegal immigrants to pay out-of-state tuition at the state’s universities and community colleges. Out-of-state tuition and fees are about $17,000 a year at ASU while the in-state amount is nearly $5,000. The law also prevents illegal immigrants from receiving state scholarships.

When Crow announced the scholarships last year, he met with criticism from some state lawmakers who questioned whether the strategy complied with the law. ASU officials have maintained the scholarship is legal because they use private, not state, money.

"We’re just trying to be helpful to them because many of them are really great students," Crow said.

Crow said the students, who ASU calls "special-class international students," are victims of the bad public policy of various countries, including the United States. Not all the students are from Mexico, he said. Some are from China and other countries, and they lack proof of citizenship or legal residency. "It turns out somehow they’ve ended up in the United States, and they have citizenship nowhere," he said.

Private citizens have come forward with donations, he said, "and that’s going to be how they are going to pay for their education going forward."

State Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, said he has no problem with private groups’ fundraising, but ASU should steer clear of any involvement.

"ASU can’t work behind the scenes," he said. "They can’t work upfront and dispense these (scholarships). They can’t have any involvement."

Arizona should have ALL of it’s federal funds cut off. They are aiding and abetting known criminals.
