I know LOTS of people over the age of 60 who have limited mobility. If you went door-to-door in your town, or at senior residential subdivisions and/or houses, people would pay you to do odd jobs, like moving furniture, vacuuming, carrying groceries, cleaning out closets, cleaning out cars ........ You can't just say "I can do odd jobs". You have to start naming things you can do, to trigger their memory. You say something like, "I can do lifting, weeding, sweeping, clean bookcases, carry groceries, carry furniture ", etc. When you talk to someone, LOOK for possibilities for yourself . You might see a pile of rubbish in their garage and you can tell them you could bag it for the trash man, or you might see a dog and then offer to bathe it. Don't let any chance slip by. Your family knows people who need help and they should help you get established by calling everyone that could use your services. Make some home-made cards and call yourself ODD JOBS AT LARGE with your phone number. It won't work to just leave your card : you have to MEET these people and earn a reputation as polite and helpful.
If you live in a city, you can deliver newspapers and the turnover rate is high, so it may be available.
You can re-cycle scrap metal. You would have to go out and find it in the day and have an adult drive back to pick it all up later to sell to the private recyclers.
GET MOVING and Good Luck !

Easy money... look in the newspaper for free kittens. Try to see if the giver will let you have all of the kittens. Set up in front of the Wal Mart with only two kittens in a box and sell them for $10 each. Never have more than two in the box at the same time, they're easier to sell that way. Remember, you can always go back to the car for more... but keep the windows down or else the kitties will fry. By the way, this is a joke, as told by Drew Hastings. Do NOT try this at home.

1. Have a yard/garage sale & sell the stuff you don't want anymore.
2. Wash cars.
3. I'm sure your parents/grandparents will have odd jobs they would pay you for.
4. Do yard work, trimming hedges, mowing grass, planting flowers, etc.
5. Ask your local city hall if there are things you can do. (I know a 13 year old who did this)

Something that a friend of mine did (when we were that age) is we started a small landscaping company. There were 5 of us and we would advertise all over the neighborhood and do peoples lawns. We ended up making over 1500 dollars that summer.

If you're looking for some extra income you may find this interesting. What the hell, no one else is paying you to do stuff on the internet. I've made 500.00 bucks alone with this site just by doing surveys and free trials. This was all in just hours of my own free time...I hope you don't consider this to be 'spam' but I am seriously trying to help you out. Anyway, if you want to check it out for yourself and read up on it here's the site. And yes, it's totally free. After you register, check the 'Messages' tab to learn how to make the easiest money. No age requirement. Thanks for reading.
AND THEY PAY!!!

Go around your neighborhood and offer to wash their cars every week for $10/car. Plan to spend about half an hour on each car. Good luck.
