I took a similar trip. I sent out letters to tons of people telling them what I was doing (I was going on a mission trip to help orphans in Brazil). I asked for their prayers and support. I was pleasantly surprised that so many people sent me money that I had enough to pay for my trip, lots of spending money, and came home with extra.
Sell on Ebay. You can sell just about anything there. You can raise lots of money by selling unused or no longer wanted items. $ 3000 is a snap.
here are a few suggestions:
*car washes – always fun, charge five bucks, people won’t mind getting it sprayed down for a good cause.
* ask churches of the same denomination – alot of times they have spare funs that can go to things like this
*bake sales – food, need i say more
* raffle – throw some stuff in a basket and have people by tickets. it is cost effective and fun!
* contact local bussness – sometimes they will give freely for good causes.
* restraunt night – some restrants, both local and national chains will let volunters serve drinks and give them 10% of the profit that night. sometimes they will just give you 10%.
* letter writting – write to frineds and family and you might be surprized what you get back
good luck!
Congratulations for wanting to go..
Some suggestions to try:
Ask to people in your church
need a temporary work to save money..A lot of little jobs in America.
And try to ask to your parents too.
I know there in USA some organizations donate a lot of money, you can try a big company. Good luck!
You can raise money via a bake sale or prostitution, It’s your call.
