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!
Since 1999, Chances.org has been dedicated to sharing hope, inspiration, and positive connections. Your gentle support helps keep our interactive tools free and accessible for everyone.
