alleviating individual occurrences of situational poverty.
the name the In Case of Emergency Club 200 x $5 = $1000?
At times the need is beyond what we ourselves
can or should fill. Pooling the
resources of 100-1000 open hearts creates a work that lightens the burdens of
not one urgent need, but dozens, hundreds, thousands over time.
Once the member
has gone through the steps of discernment we are acronyming L.O.V.E.(explained
in the ask form) for themselves the next step is to fill out the Ask Form as completely
as possiblehttp://tiny.cc/icerequest.
The Form is submitted to the moderators.
The decision on the Ask will be made within 24-hours. If there are questions a moderator will
contact you for clarity, it is important to try to be available for this. Once the Ask is approved it will be posted on
the group page and members will be expected to respond within 24- hours. The PayPal funds are available immediately to
the PayPal debit card. After the funds
are dispensed to the Receiver please come give ICE Club members a Smile by
giving a one-time only very simple update. Please use the Smile Form which you
can find here http://tiny.cc/askupdate.

I submitted my Ask more than 24 hours ago
what is going on?
We won’t do more than 1 Ask a week in order to
keep the resource burden on our members, being both time and money, as a
minimum. This is all volunteer, no one has to be here, so we need to appreciate
everyone’s charity. That said you can
contact the administrators currently Bryan Watson, Susie Lovato, and Bill
Drennan.
What is the maximum that can be asked for?
The maximum is $1,000 per Ask. Each situation is different. It is important that we understand that one
should not bring an Ask for $1,000 when $400 is what is needed. The moderators are not going to be willing to
Ask our members to give that which is not warranted and God’s providence allows
for others to give as well. Strive for
honesty and clarity in order to ensure the Ask is approved.
The maximum for
the entire group is 1. The maximum per person is 1.
No. The
moderators prayerfully discern each Ask.
Most are accepted. If there is a
red flag you will be contacted and given the chance to clarify. The most common reason for rejection is either
there are too many already in the cue, or there is not enough information given
to discern a specific need with a specific amount.
The ICE Club Moderators
assess the clarity of the Ask Form and prayerfully discern within
24-hours.
Why is it a closed group?
Privacy and
security for both the member and the receiver of the Ask money.
Why should the Receiver not know it is from
a group?
Again, it is to
ensure the privacy and security of others who have received assistance and the ICE
Club group members. In addition, it
compromises the purpose of the group which is to address individual occurrences
of situational poverty not to stipend someone’s monthly bill or to receive Asks
from those who are not members of the ICE Club.
So, I’m all in and it feels like I have
$1,000 in my bank account to help people should I go in search of someone in
need?
No. We assume that everyone on here is not only a
person of great charity and loving heart, but of faith and discernment. God will bring those whom He desires to help
through this group. It may not ever be
through an Ask coming from you, it may be through your willingness to
give. If He desires to have you Ask it
will be someone in need that He specifically brings to you or your attention.
Do the people we are asking for need to
have any qualifications?
No, being a
human being in need, is enough.
Is there anyone that does not qualify for
an Ask.
Yes, animals, endangered
or homeless, (there are other organizations for them) businesses and organizations
either charitable, not-for-profit or otherwise.
It is a social media able to easily handle a
group with lots of traffic and media without having a separate website to
maintain.
There is no fee
to transfer funds through friends and family.
It is one of the most secure ways to transfer money.

Why do we need a PayPal debit card?
Once a member’s
Ask is approved and posted to members on the Extra Mile funds will be deposited
in the Asker’s PayPal. It can take up to
3 days for those funds to be transferred into one’s bank. With the PayPal Debit card PayPal funds are
quickly available and can be cashed out to be given to the Receiver or used
directly to pay for the item or service for the which the funds were intended.
In order to receive a PayPal debit card you will need to upgrade for free to a
PayPal business account. There is not
fee associated with this upgrade.
