If you accepted the offer of $7.50, then that is what you will get. If you have been offered, but not accepted, then yes, you can counter offer for more.

If you have already been hired then you can not ask for a raise. You can negotiate pay during the hiring process though.
But, be prepared, they may just thank you for your time and hire someone else.
Part time work is not meant to be enough to survive on and pay is not decided upon by your needs, but rather market driven, they hire as low as they can.

you should have negotiated your salary BEFORE you accepted the job offer. they're hiring on the terms that they have given you on the day of your acceptance. you can either quit and find another job now or suck it up for a while and decide later.
