Helping Raise Money

There are so many times that I want to help causes by raising money, on occassion I have even tried to do just that, but it never works to well.

This is due to the fact I dont have a group of friends who will sponsor me or buy tickets, and its hard to raise money when you are in your house alone with no visitors.

I recently went in the Worlds Greatest Shave 2012 .. for anyone who doesnt know what that is ... between March 15 and 17 you either Shave your head or colour your hair and before you do you raise money by getting people to sponsor you. The money goes to help the Leukaemia Foundation so they can provide free practical and emotional support to people with blood cancer and their families, as well as investing millions in research to find cures for leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma or other related blood disorders.

I planned to colour my hair Blue...

I had posted on my facebook the link in which people could click to sponsor me, my husband sponsored me $27- so that I would have at least one sponsor.

After nearly 2 weeks of no other sponsors I made a post kind of being funny ... this is what I said ....

"You know you have no real life friends when the only person who sponsors you for the 2012 World Greatest Shave is your husband ... :/ "

After that one person sponsored me $27 - So at least I got one sponsor who wasnt my husband. :)

But it makes it really hard to help out such causes like the Leukaemia Foundation when you have no really close friends to support you.

It makes me feel sad that I can not help like other people and I kind of feel like the people I do know, even if they are only online tend to overlook me... as if I am not worth anything.


I had a lot more to say on this subject, including about trying to sell raffle tickets for other good causes and not being able to sell even one.... but this subject has started to upset me so I am just going to leave it here and move on to a new subject in my next post... although I do not know when that might be...
