I am so mad!!! :rant: I am trying to put together a fundraising car wash for the earthquake victims in China but I cant find a gas station that will allow it! They are all telling me that they either dont have the proper drainage or they dont have the right filtering system. So frustrating when you want to do a good thing but have road blocks! A road block for something as simple as a car wash! ARGH......... :rant::rant::rant::rant::rant:
i've already donated money. i just feel like we could raise more money that's all. i have a roof over my head, i have food to eat, clothes to wear and the kids here have a school to go to. i am not surrounded by rotting bodies instead, my family is with me alive and well. putting together a car wash is simple and can raise a lot of money. why not put a bit more effort into helping these ppl instead of just opening my wallet? as corny as it sounds, if we all put a little bit of effort into helping ppl maybe there wouldn't be so many ppl in this world that have so little. no one chooses to have their family ripped apart and no one chooses to be homeless. helping out sometimes is the greatest gift you can give to some of these ppl.
couldn't u go to ppls houses asking whether they would like to have their cars washed or something and tell them that the money goes to the earthquake victims.
i dont answer the door for ppl i dont know so i dont expect others to open their doors (at least without slamming it in face after i start to talk) and i wouldnt feel safe going door to door. there's a convicted rapist/murderer out on parole with a 100% chance to re-offend (we dont know where he is staying at right now) and another sex offender that has a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to return to his halfway house. vancouver is not a very safe place anymore. oh wells, i will think of other things to do to.
go to local church and see what they are doing =] or suggest a fund raising thing with them like a marathon or something
lol u beter check where u donate tho, it said on TV that some people take the money and um the items and sell it at High Prices , like chen for Da Jip
nope but doing a marathon requires training and u should only do a marathon if ur gd at running. otherwise, bag packing is quite an effective way of raising money for charity.
maybe try to organise something with ur local school or church group n have a BBQ or cake day or something... sell BBQ or cakes at lunch time n raise $$
