How can I get my website out there and seen by people?

There may be more than one way to raise the money. I have recently gone to a couple of transplant fundraisers; the one that seemed to do the best was at a pizza restaurant. The recipient got 10% of the checks, plus she had an extra donation basket that was full when I left. I didn't know her; I simply found out because her family & friends put flyers on mailboxes. You could do that, and then get money to the fund. (I imagine they have already done some fundraisers like this, but though tI would mention it).

If someone you know owns a store, ask if you can put copies of the story on people's cars in their parking lot.

The other thing you could do would be to ask people to put a link to it on their Facebook pages, and have the people put a blurb on their status section.

Send e-mail to the major 24 hour news channels they maybe interested in such a story.Go to your local news paper.Good luck to you and this blessed boy that has a friend like you!
