If you are going to help the poor why not have some fun doing it? It seems like the mysterious Robin Hood 702 is having a great time gambling his way to good deeds. The unknown gambler chooses needy families and gives them his winnings. The Daily Telegraph tells a story in which one couple was flown to Las Vegas and treated to first-class flights and a suite in the Palazzo hotel. Once there, the gambler met them and proceeded to use his own money to begin to win them money. He went down hundreds of thousands of dollars before he rallied and won $35,000 for the couple.

On his website Robin Hood 702, he says that he wants to get money from the casinos and give the proceeds to the poor. People are invited to send in video or web submissions asking for help and if selected he will try to win up to $50,000 for the lucky recipients. He has given television interviews but with his face in shadow. He is reputed to have won and lost six-figure sums in a single night. Robin Hood 702 has been featured on Fox News multiple times. Recently Dr. Schulze from herbdoc.com agreed to help another family and will be picking from one of the submissions on the Robin Hood 702 site.

I Am a 55 yr old Female with a handicap child. We are losing our apartment and everything...with nowhere to go and no one to help me- there is no family. I have prayed and cried . This may even be to late to help us. It scares me to death. I have spent my life helping other people and now I am begging for someone to help us . Due to medical problems that I have had this past year I am not working...I have no financial help, there is nothing ...I have nothing. I can not get assistance from anywhere. My credit is shot from this. I need someone to help me get through the next two months so that we are not living in a box , also so that I can keep my vehicle for employment or even to live in if we have to.My name is Barabara Tipolt my address is 6795 Lingor Apt.8, Clarkston, Michigan 48346.

Hi,
I saw you on Fox news the other nite and thought, hey I should write to them and see if they can help me.
I am 50 year old widower of 2 boys, one is 16 years old and my other son is almost 21 years old. My husband died of an overdose in 2003, due to having many surgeries from a motorcycle accident. He became addicted to the pain medication and the progression got worse as the promises said which is jails, institutions or death. He was in and out of treatment and hospitals for the pain management, however the pain and the pain of addiction was too great and he died. I have been left raising my 2 boys and credit cards became my spouses income. At 18 years you lose Soc. sec. and things got worse. Please help me!

Hello, my name is Meri Lee, I heard about Robin Hood 702 on the Allen Hunt Show. My mother in law now lives in Nevada, with her youngest son and also a disabled son. My mother in law is 77 yrs old. In 2008, she lost her oldest son, Joe, 53 yrs old to pancreatic cancer, then last January 2009, she lost the love of her life, her 76 yr old husband to liver cancer, they would be married 56 yrs today, if he was still alive. Since she moved to Nevada last yr, she has been taking care of her disabled son, he is 51 yrs old. He has suffered with medical issues for yrs from a diseased liver due to hepatitis when he was a youth. A week ago, her disabled son was rushed to a Nevada E.R. due to medical issues relating to his failing liver. He is currently still in the hospital, his liver is functioning at 10% capacity and his kidneys are following in the same downhill spiral. My mother in law has been staying at the hospital since her son was admitted there last Saturday, Feb 20th 2010. My mother in law is on a fixed income and her disabled son has no money and am not certain how they will be paying for his medical treatment that he has been receiving. Please let me and my family know if Robin Hood 702 can help them. They are in dire need of financial assistance and also divine intervention. Blessings Meri Lee Testa- Monroe, GA

Hello, this note is for Robin Hood 702 again. I am the sister in law that wrote to you about two weeks ago now. My brother in law is critically ill in a hospital outside of Las Vegas. My 77 yr old mother in law has been by his side the entire time. She again lost her husband last January from cancer and her oldest son to pancreatic cancer; it will be 2 yrs this March 2010.

Her middle son, Anthony is 51 years old. He has struggled with liver problems for years, he contracted Hepatitis C when he was a child. He is in ICU as I write. His liver is functioning, if you can even say that, at about 5 % capacity. His kidneys have shut down. He has been dialyzed and been given 2 blood transfusions. The blood infection that he contracted when he entered the hospital 2 wks ago was eliminated with meds, but has returned.
He is in a lot of pain, since no pain meds can be administered due to his failed kidneys.

Not certain how their medical bills will be paid for. Please if you can help them, it would be a God send.
Thanks for any help.
