Well I wrote a diary regarding the minimum Wage and got some really strange debate from what sounded like Wall Street folks. I observed so much debate against the minimum wage and actually some reference to people who are having it hard, despite their education, giving up and not trying. I challenge these successful people to help all of these quitters and folks wanting to fail. ( their opinion,certainly not mine)
I never once mentioned until the end of the diary that if these folks are so successful are they giving back or were they paying their own help minimum wage.
We have many needs here on DK and I plan with this diary to fundraise a little with those successful people in mind and with hopes they wish to help. Daily Kos is about community and I was appalled at the almost right winged responses of the minimum wage being raised.
Kos posted a diary needing some help with his cousin and I checked the Go fund Me and it is still lacking.... Go there and give. It has a long way to go to meet the goal.

My own veteran advocacy is lacking funds as my trip to DC was only funded by me personally and you know we don't have salaries but just depend on the kindness of others to help veterans... As of today, I am having problems with some surgeries for my vet and no funds in the org. to reimburse my expense for veteran advocacy. I won't even have gas back and forth for a serious surgery come Thursday for my vet that will be perfomed 75 miles one way from our home. I need to be with him and will have to stay somewhere.
I need your help with a goal of 2500.00. This will help with the trip that I made on behalf of veterans and help a veteran that is needing a little help with their only transportation. A vet also needs a radiator replaced. I know a few veterans who are also running low on some necessities such as a few utility bills paid. I also want to help a well known Kossack Veteran here who has helped with organizing the Get out the Vote effort. He needs some appreciation shown to him IMO and here is an opportunity to do that. He has been very ill.

Anyone who can help with these causes are greatly appreciated and for those who think everyone can make it... This is your chance to pay forward. I will not embarass those posters by quoting them so please do not ask but they know who they are and who felt the minimum wage was completely bogus and also had the opinion that those who have low paying jobs are basically wanting to fail. I truly believe those without or have low paying jobs are the biggest contributors to these causes. Here is a chance for some of these thoughts to be dismissed.
Angie in Washington is firing up her campaign... please get in touch with her and give to help her with that great political effort. See where she needs donations sent.. I am sure she will appreciate this campaign contribution as soon as she is completely set up.
Please kos mail her and ask how you can help... please.
We have quilt projects... The quilt project here at Daily Kos I am sure would appreciate any donations to continue their efforts.

I have found out that most of the donations for causes come from people struggling but this diary serves to offer the opportuity for those well off, very successful folks who blame people who have not had their good fortune to give back and pay forward. I also invite them to visit the Kos Katalogue.

Just do it...as my sig line states... All donations are appreciated. This is not a meta diary but a Fundraising Diary because maybe I have not tried hard enough to really reach out and encourage people to help with these causes. These are just a few suggestions for folks who want to help and maybe they do not know where to go on this site to help...
I really am serious about this project to help. Anyone who can....it will be appreciated..I really do not expect the folks arguing about the minimum wage to step up but any who has a dollar or two to spare knows a little goes a long way.
