Save Karyn: The website that started it all.
Save Kathy: Another site that is just like Save Karyn, except it's Kathy who's begging for help.
Help Me Leave My Husband: Penny needs the money to enable her to get a divorce, continue with her nursing school studies, and support her children at the same time.
Lend Me a Buck: This time you get to help Jessica, a 21-year-old college student who, like Karyn, has a massive credit card debt.
Help Jennifer: Help Jennifer Glasser bear the high cost of having Lyme Disease (including the fact that her illness prevents her from working full-time). Actually this site is more sympathetic than the others since Jennifer is battling financial woes stemming from a serious illness rather than from buying a lot of material goods that she doesn't need with a credit card.
Help Jacqui: Like Help Jennifer, this site is also more sympathetic than the others because Jacqueline Saburindo used to be an attractive woman until she was massively disfigured in a drunk driving accident.
Christina's House: Like Jennifer Glasser of Help Jennifer, Christina is also suffering from a debilitating illness (Fibromyalgia) that prevents her from working full-time.
Save Elaine: Elaine is an aspiring opera singer who can no longer afford her expensive voice lessons because she has to pay off her student debt.
Money for Lisa: Lisa is another heavy credit card user like Karyn and, like Karyn, she has also gotten herself into a financial hole because of it.
Injured on the Job We Need Donations Please: Chad Christman is out of a job and surviving on Workers Compensation because of a work-related injury. The Christman family is looking for money to pay off their bills.
Send Nick 2 College: Help Nick Howard in his quest to pay for his studies at Texas A&M University.
Help 4 Brian: Brian needs both money and a job.
Help Out Brian: Another man named Brian needs money so he can afford to go to paramedic school.
Help 4 Heather: Heather needs help. This site is a little more humorous than most in that she states on her site that she is actively seeking a man who is flat, crisped, and wrinkled. The man in question is George Washington, who graces the U.S. $1 bill. However, it's not a parody site since Heather states that she is in debt due to medical treatments for her ovarian cancer and her lowered immune system makes it difficult for her to hold down a job.
Sexy Single Struggling Mom Needs You: She needs the money so she can publish her own book on cyberdating as well as buy the medication and nutritional supplements necessary that she can fight her own bout with Hepatitis C.
Dollar Donations: Help 18-year-old Devin Goodsell raise enough money so he can buy a new car.
The Amazing Send-Me-A-Cent Website: Here's a begging site from Australia. (<sarcasm>Oh, yeah, a whole bunch of begging sites from around the world is what the Internet needs!</sarcasm>) This person needs the money to buy a Nikon F5 camera.

About.com's List of Begging Sites: This one is also self-explanatory.
The Amazing "Send Me a Dollar" Website: A couple of years before Karyn began her SaveKaryn.com site, someone else started this site to encourage people to send him a dollar (or schillings, francs, pounds, rupees, and other currency) as a lark, and has had some modest success with it. This site now includes Rate-a-Beggar, which reviews other begging sites.
Don't Save Karyn: The first of the Save Karyn parody sites.
Save the CEO: Another Save Karyn parody site that urges people to think about the poor, overpaid corporate CEO.
Save Karyn Not: This site advocates giving money to established charities instead of to Karyn and provides direct links to such groups. <sarcasm> Hey! Now that's a totally novel idea! </sarcasm>
Save Sheeba: For those who would rather give their money to dog instead of a human.
Save Karyn and Us: Another Save Karyn parody site that is far less pointed than the others. It seems to show a little bit of sympathy for Karyn's plight and it provides U.S. government's official definition of poverty.
Save Karyn's Complexion: Another Save Karyn parody site that is soliciting funds to help Karyn improve her skin complexion. Also includes a link on the left-hand side to charities where people can give their money instead of giving it to Karyn.
Ed Needs a Hummer: Help Ed in his quest to buy a Hummer.
The Society to Prevent My Employment: Help support Princess Natalie so she won't have to find a job.
Web panhandler pays off $20,000 debt: A CNN story about how Karyn actually managed to pay off all her debts with her Save Karyn site. (I have a feeling that this may also be the last time that anyone will be able to pay off all his or her debts with a begging site.)
