Hey. I'm 14/F and my friend is 13/F. She was diagnosed with Luekimia last month. Can anyone think of thinks a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD can do, someone with very little money on her hands, to raise some money or help out my friend Caroline. I really want to help, and someone else has already organized a walk to raise money so that idea is out. Any ideas would be very much appreciated and I do rate.
Thanks.
P.S. I don't know what kind of luekimia she has but I know she has started Chemo already and she's really sick due to the side affects of it.
And the ideas don't have to raise money, but if it's something that can make her feel a little better, or comfort her please let me know, I want to do anything it takes to help her.
it was a kid at our school,cody...he touched alot of students...8th grade and 9th grade year his friends got the whole school involved involved with raising money for him...they talked to the principle i guess or somebody and they were making announce ments on the morning show at school about him and how you can leave money for him and theyd be getting money during lunch....they got that boy what they wanted...you can do lots of things when u get the school involved and people who knew her involved,,if not then..you can sale some of your things and your friends things..you can do an auction..you can get a job for one...because im 14 and i can get a job around here...goodluck with everything!

You can set up an auction-- ask local companies, such as restaurant to donate items and services. Then contact your newspaper for publicity. Ask an adult to help you.
You can also, as the other advicenators said, ask for donations at your school for your friend. Set up a donation box in each classroom, do a competition between classes for most money raised (prize is an ice cream party, etc.)...
or a drawing to pie a teacher in the face.

You can start to raise awareness in your school.
Put up posters, make announcements, talk to teachers about bringing in guests to speak to your school about leukemia.
Collect donations at your school to give to a leukemia fund.
Also, you can make your friend a scrapbook! Fill it with pictures and memories of you and all your friends

Ask a local store if you can have the carwash in their parking lot, say a walmart or something, or sell baked goods outside of it. Make posters, and get a bunch of your friends to help you spread the word about it. Hope I helped! Good Luck!
