begslist.blogspot.com or begslist.org is a good site for all of these: cyberbegging, cyber begging, internet begging, internet panhandling, e panhandling, online donations, debt help etc.
There are thousands of appeals on craigslist and on other Web sites devoted to begging, such as Begslist, CyberBeg and DonateMoney2me.com.
And the appeals are heart-wrenching. A single mom with no money to pay her bills; an unemployed construction worker about to lose his house. And, of course, lots of families who can't afford gifts for Christmas.
Certainly some of these appeals are scams, but many appear to be legitimate pleas for help.
Michael Arthur of Frederick, Md., says he debated for weeks before placing an ad called "Santa, Are You Out There?" on craigslist:
I'm a partially disabled single father with two young sons, seven and eight. They deserve to get a few nice toys and things for Christmas. They are really good kids. I don't make enough money to be able to buy them anything. … If anyone out there could possibly help me obtain a few toys for my children please let me know. I hate to beg, but I will for my children.
