I see many needy people posting a need for financial aid, and I wondered if they receive any help from readers.Does anyone reply to the "wanted" classifieds asking for monetary help?
Interesting that you brought this up.
I just saw on television that a lady in her twenties got in debt with her credit cards and the collectors were after her to pay off. She was about $20,000 in debt and did not want to ruin her credit by filing bankuptcy.
What did she do? She made a unique and attractive website asking the public for help, money to get her out of debt. She changed the site daily and made it interesting to lookers. In return, not only did they feel sorry for her but they enjoyed her site. When interviewed on how she could ask total strangers for money she said "It was better than other options and the site took so much time she was being paid for her time".
In an 8 week time frame she raised $11,000. Sounds nuts to me but what an idea. And it actually worked. People paid her for nothing.
People get desperate and resort to begging. When I see websites, classifieds and such for money I recognize this as begging very similar to pan-handling. If this practice works and works well everyone will start doing it. Could you just imagine the chaos?
I think the best way to get money is to work for it.Does anyone reply to the "wanted" classifieds asking for monetary help?
When someone openly ask for monetary help I normally think they are trying to rob other people of there hard earn money, but If someone need food, clothes, and help to fix there place so there are no longer cold or hot then I help out.Does anyone reply to the "wanted" classifieds asking for monetary help?
