Modest Needs

Help Stop the Cycle of Poverty Before It Begins.

One Hard-Working Family at a Time.

Welcome to the Modest Needs Headquarters on Squidoo

Making a difference online has never been easier  
You're Invited

You're invited to help the Modest Needs Foundation stop the cycle of poverty before it starts for hard-working persons struggling under the burder of a short-term emergency expense like those we've all encountered before: the unexpected auto repair, the unanticipated trip to the doctor, the unusually large winter heating bill.

And all it takes is 10 minutes of your time.

How? Simply create an easy-to-build web page (what we call a "lens") about a person whose kindness changed your life, or any other subject at all -- your favorite books, a hobby, your business, your last vacation, whatever.

No matter what subject you choose, you'll be generating awareness and funds for Modest Needs and the low-income workers they support, every month, forever.

Just click the big orange button to get started! And thanks for your support.

What's a Lens?

 
These are. Lenses are just simple web pages about anything at all. And every one that you make can generate support and send web traffic back to Modest Needs.
