About Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome
Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is a genetic metabolic disorder which causes albinism, visual impairment, and a platelet dysfunction with prolonged bleeding. Colitis, kidney disease and pulmonary fibrosis are also the result of HPS. The severity of HPS ranges from very mild with few symptoms to severe and disabling. Most people with this type of HPS pass away in their late 30s to early 40s. Ana Guzman from Brooklyn, NY Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 11:11:51 PM I would like to nominate this outstanding charity:
http://www.pajamaprogram.org The Pajama Program, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, provides new, warm pajamas and books to needy children in the United States, and around the world, many who are waiting and hoping to be adopted. These are youngsters who may not know the comforts of a mother or father to tuck them into a cozy bed and read them a bedtime story. Too many have been abandoned, most deprived of any love at all. It is to the children in these circumstances and temporary living quarters that the pajamas are delivered with love and affection. The Pajama Program depends on the generous support of volunteers, supporters, event hosts, pajama drive sponsors, and of course, donations of cozy new pajamas and new children's books. The Pajama Program is a nation~wide program, consisting of many different chapters, organized by state. Heather Wyman from Parsippany, NJ Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:10:36 PM Maybe there are not a lot of people actually searching at searchkindly lately....like they are still coming to the site, but not searching, so no double numbers from new result page set up??? --Yeah, I don't know...maybe things will get better in the coming months. Especially after we start running some ad campaigns (free ones, of course). --Syed Anon from Texas Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 9:09:32 PM http://www.andreriveroflife.org/
The Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation enables single parents of children with life-threatening illnesses to care for their children full time by relieving financial burdens when other resources are exhausted or unavailable.

DV from College Station Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 9:09:32 PM How about http://www.pajamaprogram.org
GSV from Austin Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 9:09:49 PM You should donate to WWF, the world wildlife fund. It helps endangered animals!!! Etb56 from La La Land Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 4:04:31 PM Do you intend for the results pages of Image, Video, etc. searches to not have any ads? --No, it's not our intention that they are left "blank", it's just that we can't figure out a way to incorporate Image and Video search into our custom search engine. Of course, we are always open to suggestions. --Syed Stoney229 from MO Monday, January 14, 2008 at 11:11:03 PM Haha sorry again. I would also like to suggest the Lance Armstrong Foundation (Livestrong). Their mission statement is:
"The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. From the moment of diagnosis, we provide the practical information and tools survivors need to live with cancer. We serve our mission through public health, advocacy, research and education, including the LIVESTRONG Resource for Cancer Survivors." Annika Sunday, January 13, 2008 at 4:04:17 AM Oh, I forgot - I was curious as to whether the 1/3 cent is donated each time you search using this site, or just when you visit it. Also, on the "Who We Support" link where it lists the charities suggested and it has another section below where it says "2007," are those the groups that haven't been donated to yet or are they groups that are being considered for the list above? Thanks again. --The 1/3-cent is every time the home page (or any other page that is not the results-page) is visited. Because there are fewer ads on the results-page, we don't take in as much in advertising revenue from it. We did that so the page would load quickly for all of you who are using Search Kindly in your searchbox. Wow, I hadn't looked at the Who We Support page in awhile. It's kind of confusing. Basically, that's an old list of all the charities that have been suggested. Newly suggested charities are given priority on the polls, but once an organization has been listed once, it is randomly selected from all of the suggested charities for future polls. --Syed Annika Sunday, January 13, 2008 at 4:04:31 AM |
