Here's an excerpt from this man's actual post I came across...
"I have spent the last 3 years drawing up financial forcasts, a business plan, profit and loss statements, etc. only to have every single financial institution I have entered tell me that they cannot help me with a loan. I have an excellent business idea that will take off like wildfire once it has started. It is in the automotive industry. My business idea is centered around helping the masses, and will hopefully cause the pre-existing similar businesses in my area to change their way of thinking, and their prices they charge when it comes to the automotive industry. Above all, I am a single father of a 3 1/2 year old daughter, and I want to do this to ensure that she has the very best future that I can give her. Hopefully if I can get the funding to get my business off the ground, she will have the opportunity that I was never afforded by getting to go to college."

Let's see if we, as a whole, can help him out in any way that we can. I have already emailed him through the hosting site and have pledged to match dollar for dollar up to $2000 whatever he can get raised before his fundraiser ends. People helping people is a powerful thing in this country. Let's put our resources together and see if we can help someone who actually has a dream and a goal set forth for the money that he raises. His ad says that he is trying to raise $25,000 to start his business. In reality, that's only 1250 people donating $20. I personally see people throw more than that away on useless and demeaning things every single day.
Let's see just how much we can do to help another fellow American out. This is the land of opportunities, let's see if we can give him his opportunity that he so desperately wants. If you can help him at all, please click on the link above and make your donations, like I said, I am matching anyone that will donate until he hits the $2000 mark, let's see what people helping people is capable of.
