These 2 little guys are sick I think. They were just given to me.

#1. I don't know what they are.

#2. After repotting them one seems to be limp & wanting to fall over.

How can I help them??

They look to me like Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus)

Agree with jazzy, they look like swedish ivy. May not be disease, it could be transplant shock. Try a good soaking of water from the bottom. I googled care of ivies and the site suggests these guys like a through soak and then allow them to almost completely dry out. They seem to do well in almost any type of light source.

I'm here--I'm on Pacific time so you're never going to see me before about 6:30 my time! They do look like Plectranthus and I agree with doccat5 that it's transplant shock. The plant's roots will often get damaged a little bit when you transplant them and they'll wilt really easily. I'd keep them out of bright light for a little while and make sure you're giving them enough water (but not too much)
