Each week we also receive wonderful stories about people and organizations who are helping to make the world a better place and who are using GoodSearch to achieve their goals. Here are a couple:
Ophelia's Place

Ophelia's Place

"After being featured GoodSearch.com, we received an e-mail from a mom who was in desperate need of support. Her 15 year old daughter has been struggling with anorexia for quite some time and the family had could not find the support services they needed.

It was when we were featured as Charity of the Day that she learned about Ophelia’s Place. After viewing the first few slides of the video on our Web site, she was moved to tears. She felt as if she finally found the support organization she had been looking for. Since her e-mail to us, we've been in contact a number of times. With each e-mail, we offer encouragement, support and possible "plans of action."

Because of GoodSearch, we're now helping another family cope with this devastating illness. This mother is in the process of changing her community by creating a support group for sufferers and bringing awareness to this disease in the schools. We are thankful to be able to assist her on her journey."

Zachary Solomon and the Children's Organ Transplant Assoc.

Zachary Solomon and the Children's Organ Transplant Assoc.

"When he was just five weeks old, my son Zachary Solomon developed a disease called Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) which causes the small bowel to die. Now at eight months of age, Zachary's only chance for long-term survival is a small bowel transplant.

What started as an email to 150 people has resulted in over 35,000 hits on Goodsearch on Zachary’s behalf in just two and a half months and the number just keeps growing. Together with our other fundraising efforts, we hope to provide Zachary everything he needs.

If you’d like to search on behalf of Zachary Solomon please enter the name “Zachary Solomon” into the “Who do you GoodSearch for?” box. For more on Zachary’s story, please visit cotaforzacharys.com."
