Twitter Fundraising Competition Between Ashton Kutcher and CNN
I have written before about the power of the social media and how it can be used to raise money and awareness for causes and charities.
One of the fastest growing social websites is Twitter.com. Twitter.com is free for anyone to join and allows you to create a “micro-blog” of updates on what you are doing. Twitterers tweet their posts in 140 characters or less.
Twitterers follow each other getting a large number of followers is a goal that many Twitterers have.
Celebrity Ashton Kutcher and news organization CNN.com are in a competition to see who can be the first to get one million followers on Twitter.com. No one has reached this mark yet and both of them are very close.
Kutcher stated when he gets one million followers he will donate 10,000 mosquito nets to RollBackMalaria.org for world Malaria Day 2009 which is on April 25th. CNN says they will do the same.

Hello!
Our family addresses to mass media (mass-media) as in our country (Ukraine, our country denies assistance to us) asks you about the help… Help us! To us more, there is nobody to wait for the help and your help is necessary for us, therefore we ask to help us, our hope that there are kind and sympathetic people…
” Help To Save My Daughter…” – this is the beginning of the letter, which our Fund received.
Natasha is a young woman of 24, she is a mother of 4-year-old lovely boy. The mother who is ill with a serious disease. This disease is late discovered heart valvular disease. It was revealed when Natasha was pregnant. The birth of her son caused the disease to get worse; as a result, she developed one more serious disease…
I am not able to solve the financial problems and to pay for Natasha’s treatment. I am single mother and growing up my 14-year-old son, and moreover, I am temporary unemployed (I am registered at unemployment exchange).
Perfidious and unpredictable behavior of pulmonary hypertension puts a human body in dangerous conditions.
Natasha has a chance, and there is still time, though not much time, to use this chance, however, time in such conditions is most valuable thing.
First of all she needs special physical examination at a specialized clinic, as well as to have to type disease and then we have to find a donor.
In no time, various clinics of Germany and France, and probably, those in Israel and Italy, will receive Natasha’s medical report. On receiving experts’ conclusion, it will become clear what kind of transplantation Natasha requires, will it be lungs or complex “heart-lungs” transplantation.
The cost of the transplantation is 150.000-300.000 Euro depending on its kind.
First and foremost the girl needs the money for her examination.
We live in Ukraine, In this country there is no possibility to receive such money. We address to you behind the help. And in this country it is impossible to collect such sum on this operation, we ask, that you have helped us. We will rejoice any sum from you. Thanks you and very much we wait from you for the help…
