I really really need help on fund raising or making money??

Question

I am 17 and I live in a VERRY VERRY small town. The unemployment rate is almost at the highest it has ever been and because of my age I am not allowed to do most jobs that are open in town. I will NEVER go back to fast food. I am by far to good for that. Also the fast food managers in this town are nasty and mean. I worked at Wendy’s for 9 months, most people last 4 weeks because the management is so bad. And from what every one has told me the only other place in town (McDonalds) is worse. But here is my problem I need at least $1,250 by this summer, and I need $550 by the first of June. I was accepted into a program a Christian camp that cost $750 just to go, and I have another program in 4-H that costs $250 and I need spending money to wash clothes and by food in between. Both programs are around the same time this summer (I have like 2 days in-between). I need to know what I can do for money and fund raising because my family is very poor and I can't drive yet, dad's rules.
HELP!

Answer 2

Sell things on ebay. Clothes shoes etc. You will probably need your parents help because I think you might be to young for an ebay account. If you really do this you could make your money pretty quickly.

Have a car wash
bake sale
yard sale
mow lawn
start cleaning homes
babysit
put an add in the paper to help elderly
walk dogs

it's not gonna drop in your lap but if you work at it anything is possible
