"On Wednesday August 8, 2012, while on foot patrol in Eastern Afghanistan, Major Kennedy was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber. Major Kennedy is a hero of the highest order having given the ultimate sacrifice to his nation. As a nation, we grieve the loss of such a distinguished warrior.

"This site was a Godsend. We had a modest original goal of raising a few thousand dollars to help with medical expenses. Then Jack's story and the use of this website were picked up by two newspapers, and the donations poured in. Just when the money was needed for funeral expenses, it was there.

Thank you YouCaring — and thank you to all those generous folks who cared enough to help. "

~Linda L.

"Thank you so much for all of the generous donations that everyone gave!!! We have just returned home from St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and Adam’s surgery went great. He has a long road to recovery, lots of physical therapy and yet another surgery in 2 to 4 months. We are looking forward to the next couple months to see what gains he will have made. Thank you, YouCaring, for the free service."

"Thanks to YouCaring.com we were able to raise $2,860.50 online and an additional $500 mailed directly to us, exceeding our $3,060 goal. Our baby now has both her cranial correction DOC Band helmet and her Sorribes corrective ear piece. As parents, we are humbled by the generosity of the many donors and most thankful for their help to make this happen for our baby. Thank you so much!"

"Diving into a lake, “Chriso” fractured his vertebrae and injured his spinal cord, leaving him with limited mobility from the neck down. What we can rejoice in is incremental improvement each day, Chriso's and his wife Stacy’s incredible attitudes and strength, and that he is in good hands at Craig Hospital. Thanks to Chirs's friends and family they were able to come together and raise an incredible $51,000 which will goto his families out of pocket medical expenses."

"Hey Team at You Caring : I just wanted to send you a big thank you for the opportunity to place my fundraiser with you. You made it so easy and the zero fees makes a huge difference ! What you are doing is so important and soooo valuable. You are making a genuine difference to the lives of so many ordinary people, who may otherwise have limited opportunities to raise funding. So far I've received $4,477 with a week to go on my fundraiser. Whether or not I hit my target is irrelevant. That little bit of money has already had an incredible impact on my son and I ! You've given me an incredible opportunity to share my story and connect with people all around the world. The connections themselves have helped me immensely in my healing. Sending a big hug and a thank you to everyone in the team !!! Job well done and very much appreciated ! May you be happy and be well ! Have an awesome 2013!"

"I cannot thank YouCaring and their amazing staff enough for the help they have given me while I continue on my journey to receive a double lung transplant.  Being young having a rare, fatal illness is awful, but knowing that I have support and a simple way to fund raise eases the burden.  Even though I am still reaching for my goal, I couldn't have raised $2,850 without YouCaring.  I still have a very long way to go to achieve my dream of living a healthy, happy life, but I am so humbled by the generosity of family, friends, and complete strangers.  If you would like to follow my story, please feel free to visit, LungsForLisa.org.  Thank you so much"

"I cannot thank you all enough for the love and support through this all. I have never felt so much encouragement from my friends and even strangers. And thank you for still contributing after I reached my goal. With that money raised, I will be presenting a check to a staff member at Georgia State University who was recently in a hit-and-run accident and underwent surgeries at Emory Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta, GA. I love you guys so much. Stay blessed."

"Thank you to YouCaring for helping us raise the money to get Kim to Chicago for her potentially life-saving eye cancer treatment! We raised enough money offline and online here to take care of the travel costs that were otherwise prohibitive. Thank you all!"

"This is a good time to put in a plug for Brock, Naomi and Luke the good people who run the YouCaring website. They run it like it means something to them, and in turn, it rubs off on projects like mine. I hope you will keep their services in mind in the future, either for yourself or for others that may need fundraising assistance, for whatever reason. YouCaring has given us emotional and financial peace of mind and relief, and I wish them continued success.  Thank you, YouCaring."

~Jeff

"Thank you so much Brock, Naomi, Luke (YouCaring Team). I do not know what I would have done if my friend did not find this site. Your creation of this website is helping to save my life. I will be forever grateful for the work you have done."

"Sean was a veteran Foreign Service Officer for the American State Department. His life ended on September 11, 2012 when the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya was attack. He was known to his friends in EVE Online and the Something Awful blog as Vilerat. His intelligence, patience and incredible sense of humor was the cornerstones of Sean's life and those traits moved everyone he came in contact with. Sean was a devoted husband and he was a great parent for his two children. Over 2600 people, from all over the world, came together on YouCaring.com to help support his family after this terrible incident. Thank you to everyone who left a tribute to honor his life. He will be dearly missed."

"With a heart to adopt, the Kraft family has been saving every penny they had for their adoption expenses. Then, through an act of faith, they asked for help from their friends and family. In less then 3 months the Kraft family was able to raise over $10,000 for their long awaited adoption. A huge thanks goes out to everyone who came together to support this family"

"Thank you so much! The support has been overwhelming and I am so grateful. YouCaring has been a huge help during this fundraiser and I cannot wait to go on the mission trip! Working with the children in the orphanages will surely be an amazing, heart-warming experience. If you would like to follow my journey please visit my blog at theramblingredhead.blog.com. A big thank you to YouCaring — and an even bigger thank you to each and every one of you."

"I found your site via Google while searching for a way to help a friend with high medical expenses. I was just going to give her money myself, then I realized via Facebook that she has many concerned friend, but they did not have an easy way to help her out. I suggested YouCaring.com and a page was set up that day. It has only been a few days later and she has over $1,200 in her PayPal account! It feels amazing to me that I was able to help by suggesting YouCaring.com and enabling others to help her. Thank you for helping her friends help her."
