How to make $ 300 easily?

Jake M.,
You could put flyers on all of your neighbors doors to ask if they need their lawns mowed. If your parents have a lawn mower see if they will allow you to use it. Or you could mention your trying to raise money to buy yourself something to stay out of trouble with, but you dont have a lawn mower, however you'd do the best job and they will be very satisfied with your work. Or you could get friends together to do car washes for fun during the Holidays. And all of you split the money. Put flyers out for that too. Or you can just ask any local businesses if you can use thier parking facility the part that no one ever parks at, for a car wash. Then have all of your friends set up a table to put a couple of chairs and a tarp over it, for the customers to sit with chips and coffee or iced tea at the table for while your washing their cars inside and out. You can really make good money doing this! We have had so many car washes at our local Taco Bell for kids who have lost a family member, or for kids who have needs like to raise money to go on school field trips, and so forth. They always manage to come up with thier destination fees, for each of them. My own sister used to be a Hall Monitor at a High School in Laughlin Nv., and anyway she wanted to help the twelvth graders to raise money to take their "Congratulations Trips" to help them to raise the funds to go to Disneyland in California. This was going to be a very expensive trip for 3 days stay, plus motel fees, and tickets for the rides and food, and all of it. So she sat down and did all the figureing for each student times however many students their were graduating, right. And this was their financial mark they had to meet. They did this in 3 days, over a weekend in Laughlin. Right where all the people leaving Laughlin would drive through to go back to california, is where they set everything up at. And they came up with thier destination fees, in just 3 days of washing cars. This was over a weekend. So they wouldn't have to miss school or anything like that. I was so proud of my sister for helping them in this mannor! That was so cool. The kids all had a blast! Okay, I think I've given you some idea's now you have to do the work, by either copying up some flyers stating your jobs, and needs. And then just go door to door. Some people might not want their lawns mowed, but will be willing to help you just because your willing to want to do this. They will see your just a good kid trying to stay out of trouble, is all. Smile!! You can do this, I have faith in you!! Be strong honey. Money just does not fall out of the skies, I found out!! Darn it!
