New Orleans - 6 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
If it's a mission trip, you should be able to beg some money off of folks you know. Just make them feel guilty for not going themselves, and convince them that giving you money will be a great way to help.
Answer 2 :
Considering you are going for humanitarian purposes (I'm assuming you ARE) you might be able to get donations. You could also get local people or businesses to donate items for a garage sale, and raise the money that way.
Answer 3 :
Ask the members of your church to help you. They should be more than happy to help you and, if necessary, you could do some chores to help them. Good luck!
Answer 4 :
Along with the other answers - the garage sale sounds like a good idea - you might want to look into cutting grass or babysitting as other viable options.
Answer 5 :
solicit donations of goods and cash in your local paper. sell the goods at a yard sale or on ebay. make sure to tell people exactly what it is for, in the paper, at the yard and on ebay. I bet you'll get the $500 easily.
Answer 6 :
visit friends at your church
Answer 7 :
I would contact local churches. the Luthern religion normally matches funds to help with these types of missions. If you have not found housing and etc... look up www.gnodrpvc.org and they may be able to help you. If all else fails call Catholic Charities at 504-310-6878 and maybe they can help with more ideas. grass roots fund raising maybe the easiest. Put together a bake sale, car wash, dinner or stand outside a store and explain your plea. there is also a grant www.hannahandfriends.org that may be able to help you.
