Thinking Outside the Box
I received an e-mail from one of my OH friends today. She is having trouble paying for her surgery, so she has decided to hold a $1 raffle to raise funds! What an ingenious idea. If you want her info PM me and I will send it to you.
I can't count the number of times someone has posted on OH their desperate plea for a solution to no funds or no insurance coverage. So, why not think outside the BOX!
What creative things did you do to raise money for your surgery or other big dollar projects?
If you had to come up with $25,000 in a year or DIE what would you do to come up with the money?
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

What do you see in the pic? An old man or 3 people and a dog?
