Stranded in Peru, A Foreign Country

Here is an interesting story: "Hello, I´m an American who is now stranded in Peru. I came to Peru to do volunteer work in the small villages around Iquitos in the Amazon rainforest. However I have recently been assaulted and robbed, most of my things as well as my passport have been stolen. I now have no recourse nor anyone back in the States who can assist me. I urgently need help, 2-3000 dollars should be enough for me to get a new passport and get back home. Please help if possible. Thank you."

Italian Guy is Asking You For Assistance

Here is Luca's story:

"Hello.. it's sad to ask to someone for some help, it's saddest when you don't have anyone to ask for it. I'm an Italian guy and needless to saying, i have some big problems. in the last two years things went down like a snowball. I lost the job, lost the girl, almost lost the house (for an earthquake, a small one, but still) and some other stuff that i's not necessary to list. in a way or another i'm unemployed from almost 2 years, so now i'm really broke. Unfortunally i'm a "middle class worker", not specialized for some job, too specialized for others.. i have dreams, like everyone, i would like to go back to the books, but if you can't even pay your meal, it's hard to go back to school.. I don't have any skill to try out something else, so i'm here asking for your help. I'm trying with all myself to be positive, but i'm going through in a very shitty time. I don't want to tell you how much i need because any financial help would be greatly appreciated. Anyway if you just want send me an email just to say hello, i would reply as soon as i can. Thank you in advance, and late apologies if my english isn't to perfect. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=MHB6PHD6HFGC8
