Cancer
Im 16/f and my cousin has cancer. He is 8 years old and has only 10% chance of living. The cancer started in his legs and now is in his back. He has tumors in his legs and one by his heart. His back bones are disinagrating(spelling) and today we found out that the cancer ate his leg bone away and now his leg is broke.
This is so hard for me. But im a cheerleader and was thinking about having a carwash for him, giving his parents all the money, even if its only 100$. Do you think thats a good idea? And does anyone have any ideas to raise money. We are doing a poker run and a golf thing. And almost all the money for those thigns are going to him. Any ideas that I can do? Please help. thank you!

Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
you are all ready doing a wanderful job, and i'm sure he is very greatful. just try to keep his spirits up. get the town to pray for him, and to let him know that they are praying and thinking of him. when you are terminaly ill, the most hardest thing to face isn't death, it is the fear of dying alone and leaving the people you love behind. he can all ready see that you love him very much, so just tell him everyday, and if you wanna raise more money for his family, keep doing what your doing. get it in the news paper if you haven't all ready. set up donation slots all over towns for people to donate, and just remember that when he is gone, he is gonna know how much compassion he left in the word, and it all started because of you, and he will know his family is in good hands, and so is he. i will pray for him and for you and your family, and i wish you the best in raising money, and if you could possibly post on here or my coloumn any places i could donate and if there is any way i could help you riase money, let me know. i will be happy to. Good luck, and God bless. and remember to keep on smiling!

This a great idea, and I think you should go through with it. You could also try having a bake sale, and/or organize a concert with some cool bands to raise money.
This story touched me and also is breaking my heart. I hate to hear about these things, they're so sad, especially, because unfortunately, there isn't anything anyone can do as far as curing the illness. But it's great what you're doing, because it can make your cousin's life happier, better and help him out a great deal. You should be very proud of yourself, and my heart goes out to you and your family.

This story, breaks my heart.
I think a carwash would be a really good idea.
You could even put cans out at gastaions ,food stores,etc. asking for donations.
Bake sells are good too.
and poker runs and golf things are good also .

I think that's a great idea- and I think its really considerate of you to do this for your cousin.
Here are a few options for fund-raising:
-A bake-sale
-A garage sale [your parents probably wouldn't mind giving the money to a family member].
-Going door-to-door asking for monetary donations. Explain the cause- and people will probably give.
-If you live in a state where pop cans/bottles are returnable for money- then you can do a bottle drive- and ask people for pop cans/pop bottles- and you can take them back to the store- and get money; it adds up quickly.
-Car washes are always a good idea- get your cheer team involved.. People will come.. you ARE cheerleaders.. haha =].
Hopefully those ideas will help you! I will pray for your cousin!

Car wash is a great idea. If you hold a car wash, have people bake food and stuff. Make a huge sign saying what the car wash is for. Get a bunch of your friends and your squad to help you out. I'm sure they would be more than happy to.
Or you can hold some kind of contest. Make a bunch of flyers and pass them around town. Have your own American Idol. Have fun with it. Put out a donation tub for people to put donations in, also charge probably about 5 dollars for them to get in. It would be a great time.
I hope everything works out for you and your family, good luck.

I am sorry about your cousin- be optimistic! That is a great idea for a car wash. Maybe you can auction off merchandise from local stores, because if you tell them about this, they will give you a lot of donations. Maybe have a bakesale at the carwash, or run? That will give you a lot more money.
Good luck, and keep positive!

Oh that is a wonderful idea. I'm so sorry for you and your family because I know how it feels. I lost my uncle to cancer back last year. But anyhow, I'm sure your cousins parents will appreciate all the help they can get right now.
