7 Cups offers free, anonymous emotional support through trained volunteer listeners who are there to talk any time, day or night. When someone is feeling overwhelmed, lonely, anxious, or simply needs to be heard, they can connect with a compassionate listener for a confidential conversation, no appointment and no cost. The platform also offers community forums, self-help resources, and access to affordable online therapy for those who want professional care. It is not a replacement for emergency services, but for the everyday weight that people carry, it provides a kind ear and a sense of not being alone. Many find comfort in knowing support is always a click away. For anyone going through a hard time, or who wants to become a listener and support others, 7 Cups builds a community of care around the simple, powerful act of listening. Reach out at 7cups.com.
Kindness has a beautiful way of multiplying. Share something thoughtful you recently did for another person, your community, animals, or the planet. Your story does not need to be grand, even the smallest act of kindness may inspire someone else to do good today.

Chances.org has been run by one volunteer, me, since 1999. Here's how you can help keep it going.

Hello, it's me, Amelia Carrie. I have been running and updating Chances.org since 1999, for free. I pay for the software, hosting, maintenance, apps, and more. That's more than 25 years of my life devoted to doing something I love.
However, the fact is that I am a senior now and due to having to compete with AI for computer graphics work, I can no longer afford to run this site on my own. I need your help, not only to keep it online, but to keep it growing. That's why I am updating Chances.org with a Donate button and a Supporters page.
If you can't afford either, you can still help for free by using the sharing buttons below. Thank you!
With gratitude,
Amelia Carrie
For investors and dreamers: If you are an investor with the means to help Chances.org grow as big as Change.org or GoFundMe, please write to me at ChancesCharity@Gmail.com.
And if you have great plans and ambition, I may even let you take this site over, because everybody deserves a chance.
You can't have change without chances!
