Wow. I send my personal fund raising page to no less than 35 people over the past several weeks. Guess how many donations I've received? Zero. Not only that, I've not even received a single response.
Sad, really. Sad for charity. Total blow to my ego. I can't get a single donation? Seriously? Not a single dollar from anyone? Not even a sorry I can't afford it?
All I'm trying to do is raise $250. Surely we can get something. Anything? I know I'm not selling cute little weasels, but come on. Nothing? Not a single dime?

You shoulda sent your fund raising page to me. I can be guilted into just about anything, plus I've already got a cute little weasel. And after doing the whole AIDS walk thing, I have extra empathy for anyone who cares about a cause enough to send out fund raising emails. Sending out fund raising emails totally sucks. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah! I greatly appreciate it. Though you just reminded me that I forgot to donate to your walk, and I fully intended to. I feel great shame.
ReplyDeleteI'll double up next year.
I think this was my first and last fund raising event. I don't like asking people to spend money, for any reason. It even sucked inviting out-of-towners to my wedding, knowing they would have to buy plane tickets. So next year, donate a little extra to your own campaign for me :)
ReplyDeleteAnd do not feel shame. It is rarely becoming.
