Hi everyone,

Thank you for your time and attention and for visiting my fundraising page. I've set up this page in order to raise money for Kiva.org, a microfinance organization that allows people with little money but good intentions to loan money to low-income entrepreneurs all over the world. The loans are made in good faith and have a high rate of repayment; they're made at no interest and are repaid over six to twelve months. Essentially, Kiva.org allows us to take money we would normally spend on a CD, a fancy dinner or a concert t-shirt and loan it, virtually risk-free to someone who can use it  to better themselves and their communities.

As mentioned, the money that is donated is eventually paid back at a one-to-one ratio; with this in mind, I will take any money donated and paid back to again loan out. My goal is to raise $5000 in two years to support this microfinance institution, with the aim of alleviating some of the injustice and misfortune in the world and to give people a fighting chance.

Thanks again, from me and on behalf of those you help,

Joseph (Trey) Meeks
