YouCaring.com Raises Hopes of Liver Transplant Dad

Cuyahoga Heights, OH, November 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Battling any disease can be a daunting time for most, and mounting medicals bills can add a significant burden to already strained finances.

Many individuals are now turning online to seek financial help and support. One such story is that of Frank, a former council man from Cuyahoga Heights, OH and father of eight children. Diagnosed with liver disease 12 years ago, He has reached the final stages of chronic liver failure and is currently awaiting a transplant at USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA.

Hope came in the form of sister Donna. Concerned for her brothers welfare, She has rallied support from family and friends across the globe.

“We knew we had lots of loving, concerned people who would want to help, but we didn't know how to reach them fast. I wanted to contribute something myself, since I am across the country and felt really useless and unable to help in a meaningful way,” she stated.

Donna came across YouCaring.com whilst searching for fundraising ideas and created a profile to raise funds for Frank. In less than a week she has raised over $4000 dollars through YouCaring.com

“The money we collect will be used by Frank and his family to cover all the expenses and post transplant recovery, that insurance won't cover. Frank will be out of work for a year and has three school age children that will need help."

YouCaring.com CEO and Co founder Brock Ketcher said, “Our goal is to provide easy to use tools that make it simple for people like Donna to raise money that makes a real difference to another persons life."

With striking resemblances to social networking sites and easy to use, fundraisers can set up profiles within minutes and publicize their cause on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube using integrated sharing tools.

Unlike most fundraising websites, YouCaring.com offers a completely free service.

"We want to ensure that every dollar donated goes directly to the fundraiser," said CEO Brock Ketcher. Internet security is also a top priority for the company and an inbuilt paypal application offers secure donations at the click of a button.
