I don't have a really help ful answer for you, but I'm working as a fundraiser for different charities. So, your problem touched me instantly. I would suggest you to approach any major sponsors you may know -could be company or organisation /like, amnesty international or something like that.\nIf there are other schools with similar problems, why don't you coordinate altogether any fundraising events? Students can create things that can be sold..!\nAnother idea is to find a block on the net and through that you can make the general public aware-create a 'donate' link so someone can offer money....!\nWhen there's strong will and love for something, then changes can be achieved. I apologise for not being really help ful, but I all my positive energy and thought may be with you.\nFundraising is not easy but is all about good energy...good luck.

Maybe if you look at the different charitable organizations and see if there is anything in place to support someone in this way.  Even writing to a lot of church organizations who would encourage people to sponsor your friend's daughter.  Maybe they could do a search on the computer and send emails to these organizations.

Ok, you're a school girl and need quick cash in two weeks. Hmmmm... Well, first I recomemd you to see if you can get a newspaper rout, that can get you some money... \n\nLet's talk real business now. First, how many t-shirts can you sell in a week, or in a day. What about t-shirts with cool quotes about your school, city, teams, school clubs, etc... \n\nYou need to go to Cafepress.com and open an account with them is free. They going to give you a site and products. They do everything for you, collect the money and ship the order to the customer.\n\nBut, in your case. You may need the help from someone with a credit card or debit card. that way you can collect the money in cash from your customers at school and give it to your partner (your dad, mom, or someone you can trust) and make the order on your site and send it to your house, and you will do the delivery at school. I hope you have access to a printer, so you can print your products and put them in a folder (that's your catalog). Use the one at school...\n\nNow you need some cool designs to put on this t-shirts, if you know how, you can do this yourself. If not, find some one that can do it for free. Also you can customize t-shirts for different school clubs, and teams. And sell them by quantities.\n\nAlso you need a blog site I recomemd Multiply.com because they let you have your own market place for your products with pictures and link it to your Cafepress store.\n\nWright about your day and your new designs, and ask for help from school friends to promote your business.\n\nThe first 2 days dedicate yourself in getting your sales, tools, designs, friends list, and your blog ready.\n\nAnd then go everyday to school and put in your mind that you need to get at least one or more sales per day. Go to your teams, and clubs for quantity sales. Ask your teacher to support you by getting a t-shirt from you.\n\nDon't forget to sell to your family members...\n\nIf you need help with the designs, I can make them for free only to help you on this 2 weeks.\n\nGood luck!\n\n\nYours truly,\n\nLuis Galarza, Business and Communication Consultant\nhttp://www.cogni360blog.com and http://luisgalarza.blogspot.com

Some things I've done with my school are like hosting a Battle of the Bands or hosting your own personal car show. Advertise your cause alot, it's a lot easier for people to pay for something that's for a good cause. Another good idea might be to do crafty things, like make bracelets and beaded keychains? Tye-Dye is always attractive, pretty easy to do, Wal-mart has cheap dye that's FUN. Lol, that's all I got, good luck with your fundraiser.

Why not get her involved in raising the money? Do a tag sale, bake sale, car wash, candy bar sale- whatever. Or hold an event like a dinner dance- you make the food and provide music and sell tix to family and friends. Teach her to get involved and make things happen, in addition to looking for outside help.

Usually, it's customary to give money (cash). Maybe you can get her something else with the money for her bat mitzvah.

Hi\nMy heart goes out to you. \nYou could go to her favourite place and release a balloon.\nYou could do something you know she would like you to do or she would have liked to do - like go up in a hot air balloon.\nYou could plant a plant in your garden.\nAs you go to church would the church have room in the grounds for you to plant a tree or bush in her memory?\nIf you are feeling rich you could ask the local council if you could donate a park bench with a plaque to her memory on it.\nIf you are feeling philanthropic you could donate something to a charity in her name - maybe a goat for a village in Africa or even a years school supplies for a child in the third world. They would not know but you would. If you are very rich you could pay for a well for a village.\nYou could get a vase and fill it with flowers each year on her special days.\nYou could get one of those composite photos of special events in her life. I don't know the details but they have advertisments for them at my shopping centre so they might have them at yours too.\nSometimes the best thing we can do for those we lose is to do something good for ourselves. They would want the best for us. As I walked up to graduate I told my son (who had been dead for two years) that this was for him. And I celebrated the start of the new millenium for my dad who had always wanted to live to the year 2000 but did not make it. Those two events will always live in my mind as special days for those I had lost.\nAnd don't forget there is always Griefline (you find the number in the business White Pages). It would be fine to phone them on her birthday and ask if you could just tell them a bit about your Mum and how special she was to you.\nI hope these ideas will help you find an idea somewhere.\nGod bless.

Go to any Jewelry store you have in your town. They should have pamphlets for each school in your town. ANd if they don't they'll surely be able to help you out from there.

Have her start a webpage at www.caringbridge.com.  That way many people will find out about her and pray!  Otherwise have her talk with her hospital social worker about places for financial help. www.acor.org has links to support groups. You might try and go visit her as well.  Good luck!

You can look up fundraising on the net and find lots of companies that are willing to help you sell their stuff. Also, many direct sales companies, like Avon, have a fundraising catalog you can sell from, giving you a portion of the sales. Of course, there's always the time honored ones like bake sales, brat & hot dog sales, car washes, garage sales, auctions, golf events, walks & rides (for miles traveled), raffles and other such activities. You can put cans out at several businesses, with your particular event listed on the side. Hold a spaghetti, chili, chicken, steak, soup, salad, or other such dinner. I belong to Habitat For Humanity and I'm on the fundraising committee. We're looking for new ideas, because we've done all the above ideas. They're good, but we're always looking for something unique, that will get people's attention. We do something called Shanty Town, where everyone goes around getting pledges to sleep in a cardboard box overnight. They create whatever kind of box they want, decorating it and coming up with themes or whatever. We've turned it into a real festival, with rides and games, music & food. This was our third year and we raised over $12,000...and in a rural community too!. Being creative is important, because there are hundreds of other organizations trying to do the same thing. Hope it all works out for you. <*)))><

You are not a charity, so no one can give you a donation. Just working hard and being in debt is not going to get you a lot of sympathy. Money management is something that should be taught in school. That will help you more than a donation.
