Well I found out the other day, my dad is having a very tough
time. He lives in Colorado and I live in Georgia <FYI, but
rather irrelevant>. He recently had surgery for the third time
on his leg to fix a blood clot in his foot. The pain from that
coupled with newly aquired depression led him to loose his job (would
not go in, or call in). This does not help his financial problems
one bit. I want to raise money to send to him, but need
ideas. I was thinking something along the lines of a fundraiser,
like washing cars and such. I am not looking for charity.
Any ideas on what I could do? |

Well you do have a job so it wouldn't hurt to pitch in $20. You could mow your neighbors yards,wash peoples cars, or go house to house and tell them whats wrong with your dad and ask them to donate. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

Actually I'm thinking about pitching in atleast 85% of my check... Getting another job isn't an option. I'm A junior in highschool, so a good bit of my time is dedicated to my school work. |

Why exactly do you need to bail your dad out of this? The US has welfare for a reason. As well as unemployment. Plus it sounds like your dad should have been on disability anyway. |

Try sending e-mails or letters saying why you need the extra money and how helpful it would be, I did it when I needed money for a trip and ended up with 200 dollars from it. ------------- Don't wipe and I won't light you up like a christmas tree!

There is a good market among some circles where your youth and manliness could earn you some good money. Not sure that your willing to go that far for your Pops though.
Good Luck. -------------

You know what you should do. Buy stuff at wall mart, then sell it on e bay. For a little less, people get to bidding and you make a profit. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">
