I am 17 and I live in a VERRY VERRY small town. The unemployment rate is almost at the highest it has ever been and because of my age I am not allowed to do most jobs that are open in town. I will NEVER go back to fast food. I am by far to good for that. Also the fast food managers in this town are nasty and mean. I worked at Wendy’s for 9 months, most people last 4 weeks because the management is so bad. And from what every one has told me the only other place in town (McDonalds) is worse. But here is my problem I need at least $1,250 by this summer, and I need $550 by the first of June. I was accepted into a program a Christian camp that cost $750 just to go, and I have another program in 4-H that costs $250 and I need spending money to wash clothes and by food in between. Both programs are around the same time this summer (I have like 2 days in-between). I need to know what I can do for money and fund raising because my family is very poor and I can’t drive yet, dad’s rules.
HELP!

Ok take this serious. YOu neec money quick. PUt your best clothes on, then stop in at every mortgage company, real estate company and let them know you would like to assist in upcoming mailings they have or are working on. Let them know you need to to work until June when you will have these obligations (camp) and after that you will continue to work for them. Be the gopher, the envelope stuffer, the flyer maker or what ever theyneed. You could answer phones on the weekends for the realtors, and be professional, dont go in cfrying around about the fast food, it looks bad on you to complain like that. Go to insurance agencys and do the same thing. then pick 1 and be true blue to them. ODnt miss a beat—p[ardong the crappy typing im too tired to fix it. but DOnt YOU tyupe like this for them!!

Go to the Search Bar and Type in Fundraising. Usually Selling Candy Bars is a Good Fundraiser, or Doing a Bake Sale at a Community Church, or Ask your School Teacher or a Minister at a Local Church., Also- You can Ask your Local Retial Businesses Owners, or Churches if they will Sponsor you to the Place you Want to Go to. First get a Letter from the Place youre Going to and Then Approach People with the Brochure or Letter from this Place and Take it With you when you ask People to Sponsor you, also you can Contqct the Place youre Going to Explaining that your Family is Not able to Afford your Trip and Do they Offer any Scholarships to Those with Financial Hardships, Such as yourself…
Good Luck to you, If its Meant to be- You will ge there.
Best of Luck to you
