I am ACTIVELY looking for new loan requests! We currently have NOBODY on the site to make loans to, and people are itching to make loans. We are entering a very busy time for Lend4Health, with the IdeaBlob contest coming into full swing on 10/22-10/31 (you can pledge your vote here!) and with the DAN! conference in San Diego on 10/24-10/27 (at which I will be telling everybody about this site).
