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.

p18. John Hook. France. What Is The Next Step?
Cycling is a passion of mine, and this allows me to explore many of the remote roads looking for ‘Finds’. Some of these have a bit of a story to them......... One of my first rose find was “Fusterouau Tea” growing out of scrubby woodland on the side of the road. After talking to a few families familiar with the area, I discovered that there had been an old commemorative cross at the spot, which had disappeared many years before, swamped by the encroaching woodland. The rose had been planted at the cross and had continued to grow.
