Donations are needed: Help me obtain a laptop for further studies/Selling A few items

Posted by Rudy - May 25th, 2009


Hello everyone,

I haven't been active for the past two months or so because I have been extremely busy trying to obtain alternatives on saving up money for a laptop. I have failed to do so, and this is my alternative. I have set up a donation fund from anyone whom is interested or cares.

I really don't want to ask anyone for money, since I should earn this item myself -- but I have tried. I have filled out 20 applications to many different stores, restaurantes, etc. and I received no calls back or anything. I don't quite know what to do anymore. My parents are going through a divorce, so all of their money is going towards that and court cases.

If you have spare change, or anything of that sort. Please send me a penny, 50 cents, a dollar. Anything so maybe it can tally up for me to purchase a laptop for my high school and college studies. My computer that I currently have is dying out, and I need to replace it. So I really don't have much of an option to ask for help from my fellow Newgrounders.

I am seeking to attend the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and I'm hoping to get accepted and enrolled as I've been getting together a portfolio.

If you send any money, or anything. Please send me a PM, telling me you did with contact information so I can send you something with return gratitude to show that I am thankful for your kind acts.

Send donations to my paypal account, which is linked to this email: dragonballsr@hotmail.com

Paypal is easy to use. All you have to do is sign up on Paypal.com, and than link it to your bank account. After verifying your account, you can send any money transfers from Credit Cards, Bank Accounts etc, to any other paypal accounts.

Thank you so much, and I hope I can save up enough funds to purchase a laptop. I will definitely update all of you on the donation tallies with thank you notes, as well as much more. If this alternative does not work, I may be forced to sell a few belongings that I have.

Please help me out, and I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Update: I have decided to sell a few items of mine. The following items I am currently selling is my old tablet that I had a while back. It broke a while back, and Tom Fulp donated a new one too me. My friend borrowed it and got it refurnished and fixed. The problem was the USB wire chord got messed up, but it's replaced and works perfectly fine.

Another item I'm selling is my JVC Camcorder that sells for $400.00, but I'm selling it for $250.00. Check out the ads over at craigs list at the links below:

Wacom Tablet Graphire (6X8) - View Here
JVC GR-D395 Mini DV Digital Camcorder - View Here

For the Wacom Tablet, I wanted to hold a giveaway to someone that really needs it, but this is my alternative at the moment. It's 50 dollars off, and hopefully someone who has the cash can purchase it and enjoy it.

Thank you to the users below, whom were generous enough to donate some spare change. I strongly appreciate it :)

NO! I WON'T!

i would love to help you but i can't seeing as i'm going through the exact same thing minus the divorce.

why won't anyone hire me?

It's quite alright. I don't why the economy sucks so bad, I wish there was a stimulus plan for teenagers trying to enroll into college. Fuck. :/

You're not supposed to wait for places to call you back, you have to give the initiative and call them to check on your own application.

I have called numerous times. :/

Yea, it's hard to find a job, I heard about this starbucks that opened and had over a thousand people apply for a job.
why don't you make a bunch of animations and run ads in them or something?

Well, I would do that but I haven't really had the time to make animations. I've been really trying to get my portfolio together. Hm. I'll try to run something involving flash soon, and maybe get some cash with ads. Who knows. :/ I'll try though. Thanks for the advice.

Besides in NGADs, the amount of money I have gathered is $7.72. Yes, it helps but it will still take a lot to get to the 50 dollar peak, as well as using it towards funds for my laptop.

Divorce sucks...
I had to go through it in 5th grade...

How much for the tablet?

$150.00

Don't forget you're part 4 in my collab!

If you need some money why don't you make flash game graphics for programmers and get them sponsored. That'll bring in some cash flow, even while you look for other jobs.

A friend of mine is looking for someone to animated his mini games he's working on this summer for cash. Maybe you two could collab together.

Really? Sweet. Tell him to send me a PM with the idea, and running engine and I'll probably do some graphics for the game. By the way, I'll try to catch up on the collab. Sorry man. :(

blop blop blop

You do realize it is illegal to solicit money over the internet from minors.

You must provide a product or service (It'll help avoid lawsuit)

-Make a flash or something

I'm not asking for money from minors, I'm asking for money from anyone. If anyone really wants to file a lawsuit against me, than get out of here and don't send any pennies or whatever. Ya know? thanks for the heads up though ;)

As for the Collab, no real rush.
I'm letting people work a little bit past the due date since times are getting crazy for everyone.

I'll let my friend know about how you might be interested next time we're brainstorming flash ideas.

Donation sent*

Wow. Thank you Zuggz, that really helped out. That $1.00 in Canadian dollars transferred over to $0.86 USD. :) Thank you so much. PM me with address information. I owe you something :)

If you already have a college picked out, why not get a head-start and run over there asking about a job. They hire only during certain months(usually at the start/end of a term), but it doesn't hurt making friends over there early and you might get lucky what with all the jobs over there.

So far at my University I have done jobs at the Library, Ticket-poll, and even helped setup a concert on campus. (got free backstage passes too.)

Currently, I work at the Computer Labs on campus. Sit on my butt in a nice air-conditioned room...

All I'm saying is, if your job hunting, you will probably have a better chance somewhere on campus. (would be easier too since you won't have far too commute between classes)

i've always wandered why parents need lawyers for divorces, can't they split their things evenly or whatever themselves without paying someone to do it.

Yeah, I don't quite know why either. With my parents' situation, my dad wants to take everything away from my mom and just get her for what she's worth. She it's kind of hard since I'm under her roof, and if he brings her down, he is also bringing me down.

Unfortinatly I don't have a credit card, only thing I can do is the next best thing (adclick)

Hey Uarts! That's where I go. What a terrible situation you are in, but shouldn't you be getting a Macbook Pro if you get accepted? If you attend the University of the Arts, and you are in the College of Art and Design, you must participate in the "Anytime Anywhere Creativity" program. Once you enroll, you order your
Macbook Pro through Uarts and you get that, a 250 external hard drive, and some insurance stuff. You're still kind of paying for it, but i payments, and an 'ISH load of programs.

I'll probably donate when I get to redeem some money to my paypal, still, I recommend you look for a sponsor on a game. Profit can be of around $2,000 if the game's good. Best of luck!

get a job. you're like what 17? move you ass man!

if you hold that tablet for me until friday when i get paid, i'll send you $75...50 for the tablet, and 25 as a donation...what do ya say?

oohhhh...nvm...i misread...i thought it said 50 for the tablet...it says 50 off...sorry dude...i dont make that much lol...but i will still send you 25 when i get paid

Awh, alright. Thank you so much. I'll try to send you something thanking you for the generous offer. Please send me address information via PM so I can send you something to show I am thankful :) I'm hoping to see the donation in Friday, and if not, that's fine -- I understand. Thank you so much though.

I donated 2 dollars. ;)

Thank you so much :) Send me contact information so I can send you something to thank you !

yeh im hoping to get a job next year to help pay rent for the next year but ive had bad luck finding a job
