*HelpYOURSELF by helping Others! local EGG DONORS Needed for Bay Area!

2008-11-22T17:00:29-08:00

We are a local Bay area agency working only with fertility clinics in the San Francisco Bay area. We are very very busy with intended parents hoping to find the right young woman to help them begin their family. Because we are local, most of our donors are able to continue working or going to school during the three week process. Because the doctors� offices get to know us, they are very comfortable referring many intended parents to us so that we are able to match many of our donors very quickly.

There are many reasons young women choose to donate. Many know someone who has struggled to get pregnant and has not been able to, or she can imagine what that would be like to need another person to step forward to help. Others feel that it would not be a big deal for them and the money involved could certainly help. Everyone is different.

Our role is that we are an agency that basically acts as a matching service. We work not only with one clinic but with many so we have many intended parents coming to us from all over the bay area. Our focus is to help young women to educate themselves about this process with no pressure to continue if it doesn�t feel right to them. We are happy to help you find the information to evaluate whether this is something you may want to consider doing.

To begin the educational process, the basic idea is that women who are age 20-29 can help another woman to finally get pregnant. A young woman is at her peak fertility years so the gift of her eggs leads to the highest rates of success for in-vitro fertilization. This is the same in-vitro process that thousands of women around the world every year go through in order to try to have a baby. The eggs a young women gives (which would have normally been reabsorbed into her body, never to be used again) are fertilized using the father�s sperm in an in-vitro process, and the resulting embryo is implanted into the intended mom so that she is able to get pregnant and be the biological mother. This is truly a case where the miracle of science meets the miracle of life! The joy of finally being able to have a baby after wanting one for so long is hard to imagine!

We believe that this can be a win/win situation for all involved. But it does require someone to take the time to educate themselves about the process. We help to educate people on a one on one basis so that you can feel comfortable asking any and all questions. We would be happy to talk and see if you meet the beginning criteria.

*********************************************************************

We welcome young women of all ethnicities, races, achievements, and talents to become part of our ovum donor program.

We are grateful for all who are willing to consider helping in this very important way.

If you are:

- between the ages of 20-29 - physically and mentally in excellent health - a nonsmoker, and use no drugs - height/weight proportionate - have no genetic diseases running in the family - have not lived in Europe for five years or longer - responsible, dependable, and able to keep a commitment

Then please visit our website at http://www.fertilityconnections.com to read further about the commitment needed as well as the medical facts involved.

Work for Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights - Activism Jobs ($10-15/hr)* (berkeley)

2008-11-20T08:00:51-08:00

There are Jobs, and there are Jobs that Matter!

Jobs for Equal Rights. Following the recent elections, there is a real opportunity to promote equality in Congress. Work with us to expand the federal hate crimes legislation, end workplace discrimination and to grant equal rights and benefits to same sex couples and families. Making these changes will be a huge step forward in guaranteeing all American�s equal rights and benefits.

Right wing coalitions are mobilizing, organizing and gaining support to prevent progressive legislation for equal rights. Already, some states have revised their state constitutions to permanently deny full equality to same sex families.

So we're mobilizing thousands of Americans here in Oregon to make sure that President Bush and Congress know that the American people support equal rights.

We know we can make a difference. The Human Rights Campaign has been fighting for equality for the LGBT community at the Federal level for 25 years. We were recently able to pass the Hate Crimes Bill through the House, which classifies attacks against gays and lesbians as Hate Crimes. This is a big move forward in securing equal rights.

We need your help. Religious right groups like the Christian Coalition, are putting more money than ever into this campaign. We can�t match them dollar for dollar, so instead, we are hiring staff to take the message to the people, in communities across the state, and build the grassroots people power it takes to make our politicians listen to us.

A job that matters. Work a job that lets you give voice to your passions.

Make $400-600 per week.

Career opportunities and benefits available: guaranteed base pay, incentive pay, vacation and sick time, health care benefits, retirement plan and more!

We are looking for people with energy, a talent for communication, and a passion for social change, and have a great training program that can help you build your skills.
