Honey, you can try a car wash or some other fundraiser (although probably not door-to-door) but don’t try to borrow money from the banks or anything. If you really can’t raise the money, don’t go. Your life isn’t going to end. Trust me on that one.

A friend of mine did the same kind of thing… She got sponsors….

How many days are you going for? Divide the amount of money you need by the number of days… that is the cost per day…. then get people or groups of people to sponsor you per day…. You agree to write a daily diary and take photos and when you get back you make sure everyone gets a copy of the diary for the day they sponsored to see where there money went.

Just an idea.

hello,
how long do you have to leave the deposit?can you sell some of your things? maybe if you play an instrument get money that way , post up ads all over the internet asking for help…what kind of organization is it? what would you be doing in Austria? maybe do some yard work or clean up someone s house…, but most of all friend if this is something you truely believe in then dont stop believing know in your heart that it will happen …tell your self every chance you get that it will manifest its self and stay firm in that thought….you make your own realities, dont stop believing 3
peace light stay positive

Needing 7,000 is quite a lot so the cost per day is probably going to be quite high but if you go about this properly you can approach companies… they always set a certain amount of money aside for things like this…Maybe expand on the idea of a daily diary…. when you return build a website… the sponsors can have their companies on there advertising their sponsorship…. link it with the school you go to and it’s a win win situation…. big company supports local school and get free advertising… Get in touch with your local newspaper and ask them to write a feature about it… loads of things you can try to build on the idea. Hope this helps.
