We've all heard the proverb, "A friend in need is a friend indeed," but do we really know what it means? Research shows that it can be traced back to certain Latin texts from the 3rd century B.C. that translate, "a sure friend is known when in difficulty."

Yes -- a friend that stands by you in times of trouble is a true friend.

That's what My-Friend-In-Need.Com is all about: linking up folks who have some pretty desperate financial needs with true friends who are able to give money to help.

Our Friends Are Saying...

"Using this site to donate gave me such a good feeling! You know the person's situation and you know what the money is being used for. I feel like I can really help make a difference!"

"When I got a 'thank you' e-mail from someone I helped, it gave me goosebumps! It's so great to know I helped someone out, even if it was just a few dollars."

"Like a lot of people, I lost my job last year. Bills built up and quickly life at home just wasn't working anymore. I lost my wife and consequently my kids, and every day was a struggle. Donations from people online are one thing that helped me get everything back in order and things are looking up! It was a great investment."

"I saw a situation that I could completely identify with. A woman with 3 children and no husband. I make a pretty good living and it's great to be in a position to really make a difference in somebody's life."

"Several times a month I get telephone calls from solicitors asking for donations to the Police, Fire Dept and everything else. I know these people are not from my local area and it makes me mad that so many people fall for their fast talk. I like to know who gets my money, especially when I am trying to help by giving."

"Looking through your listings it's hard not to feel for some of the stories you read. I try to give to these people in hopes that it helps and makes a difference. It's almost impossible to read these stories and not want to help. I think your website is doing a great job for those who need it. Thank you on behalf of everyone involved."
