HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

“Mother Lode # 2.” (2008, Desert Rose Society Rose Show) This rose was apparently collected by Dick Streeper while visiting the foothills in the Sierra gold camps of the gold rush era. He recalls that the rose was found in an abandoned cemetery not close to any modernday town. The rose reflected a common custom of that time when graves were marked with roses. He still grows the rose that won the trophy in 2008, but does not have a picture of it. The rose is not available commercially.
