Hello, I'm a college student in desperate need of $400. I moved to a new apartment (I was living on a couch before) and the deposit, higher rent, new bill origination fees/etc. ate up all of my financial aid for the quarter. My textbooks were also very, very expensive, and I can't get any help from my family. I have a part-time job but it won't be enough to cover emergency costs before January. Please help if you can. If I can't come up with the money I may be evicted and have to drop out of school. I'm still applying for second jobs. Apparently I'm going about this the wrong way because no one's contacting me! I am very introverted and this is probably part of the problem. I do have many useful skills.
I promise that if you help me I will volunteer my time at the local St. Vincent de Paul and/or the Thurston County Food Bank. The St. Vincent de Paul gives out free hot meals to the community (often the majority who come in are homeless). The Food Bank gives out emergency packages of food to anyone who finds themselves in a food emergency for any reason, up to 12 times a year. They also help people receive more long-term food aid. I have received emergency assistance from them in the past, and they totally saved my butt.
If I receive a donation anywhere near the $400 I need, I will devote at least 5 hours a week OR MORE to this endeavor. This will be a total of AT LEAST 100 hours by the end of June (when I go volunteer somewhere else every summer).
If you don't want to give me free money, then consider buying my art as a holiday gift for someone. Either way, if I get $400 or sufficiently close to that amount, I will volunteer as stated.
