i don’t think drinks are a good idea. maybe you could consider doing the lawn for aneighbor and raising enough money to get a taxi.

Coffee will enhance the colour you have but it won’t dye your hair.

You can go lighter but not darker with natural products easily. Your hair colour sounds pretty though, why not leave it?

You can pick up a hair dye for around 7/8 dollars ask mum if you can try a temporary one that will wash out after about six washes.

Thats the best I can find but it sounds a bit harsh to me. You could try coffee rinses to add darker tones to your hair but Sashas suggestion is probably best, if you show your mum with a temporary maybe she will get you some permanent.
