How can my friend make some quick money (emergency!!!!)!!!?

Question

He's in Maryland and he got kicked out of his house. His parents won't buy him a plane ticket and he's staying in his friends house temporarily. He needs to come to Houston as soon as possible. He already sold a PSP game for 28 dollars. How can he make some money, FAST (at least up to $300)?! He's gonna be homeless.

Answer 1

I'm really sorry. Does he have a car he could sell and get a cheaper one later? Is he maybe holding onto something electronic or otherwise that he could sell, but isn't willing to? Tell him to sell whatever that is. Maybe he could go to one of those Labor Ready places that hire you daily and try to earn a little bit. I'm not sure how much time he has, but pizza delivery can bring in some money. Does he have a friend or anyone who would loan him maybe $50 or $100? He could ask several different people for smaller amounts instead of asking one person for $300. Does he have an expensive pair of shoes, a watch, or even a suit or something he could sell, maybe in a yard sale or to someone he knows?  

Answer 2

Donate blood and plasma

Have a quick garage sale (It's the perfect season for that and he doesnt have to waste money on an ad in the paper, just wait until the weekend and post signs on the street corner)

Cash in Cans/bottles

Sell some things on ebay

Call friends/family members and ask if they (or anyone they know) have any odd jobs they need done. (painting, cleaning, mowing lawns, etc).

Have him start applying at stores/ fast food places, etc. They're usually hiring and while he's trying to make money elsewhere, he can work a job part time. He could have 300 dollars within 2 paychecks.

Answer 3

he can get a job:

mow lawns for like 10 bucks

babysit for like $10/hr

mcdonalds

sell more of his stuff

well, im not sure but i do want you to know that i know what you are going through.  my brother is kinda homeless. on again and off again.  we would let him stay at our house but my mom is state sertified for babysitting and cannot let anyone stay the night unless they have a background check.  well, my bro has been to jail so he would not pass it even if he did have one.  i know its hard.  i just wanted you to know that i understand how bad you feel that you can do nothing to help you friend.
