Would you take me seriously?

Question

I want to raise money to donate to Make-A-Wish but I'm not sure if people would take me seriously. I'm 13 years old but I really want to donate to them and help.

Would you take me seriously?

Also, how should I raise the money?

Thanks. :)

Answer 1

There are many ways you could raise money to donate to the Make-A-Wish foundation ... and if you can get other kids your age to help, you'll make even more money.  Try something 'simple' like newspaper recycling (you gather it in a garage and bind it up and sell it then give to the foundation) ... or by making stuffed animals, or baking cookies, or doing gardening ... the thing you need to 'think about' is getting good publicity ... most television stations love stories like this, and if they take you seriously then EVERYONE will, and many will give money to your good cause.  You should have a 'bank account' (with an adult you trust helping you set it up) to make donations easier ... and other than that, all you do is send the 'check' to the foundation or present it in person (if you want more good publicity for both your donation scheme and the foundation.  A 'scheme' is not a 'bad thing' ... it's just the 'plan' and how you work it out.  Good luck ... I would take you seriously, which is why I answered your question.

Answer 2

If you were with a group of kids, as well as parents, I would. When you have more than one person fighting for the cause its more serious as opposed to one person. Good luck.
