I guess everyone is skeptical when it comes to donating money to a lesser-known cause. I know people want to see their money going into good use and some aren't willing to part with their cents if it's not going to go to a good and legitimate cause.
I hope this post will help justify my case and I hope you will consider pitching in by the time you finish this. I've come up with a few questions that I expect people to ask and thus, created my own Q&A.
Q: Why raise funds for this project?
A: Well, £2000+ is a lot to ask my parents to pay, considering that they are already paying for my UK tuition fees, not forgetting my 3 other siblings and also managing their respective careers. I would like to lessen their burden for awhile, it's all what a teenage girl wants and CAN to do for her hardworking parents.
Q: Why should I donate my money to you??
A: This is a tough question to answer, cause I know people subconsciously ask this in their heads but you are not making a mistake by donating for my project. I am true to my words and will not use this money for anything outside the uses of this programme. As explained earlier, I want to lessen the burden of my parents and also I do believe this whole journey will be more worthwhile if I know that I have the support of not only my family, but also the wider community of the world. Knowing that people have pledge into my cause will definitely make this experience precious and so much more worth it. I have said this before but I will repeat it, I WILL put in my 110% in this project. You have my word.
Q: Why go online?
A: Honestly, I think it is one of the best ways to connect to people, especially having friends and family at different corners of the earth. Plus, the interface is user-friendly and it's so easy to use.
Q: Will you be using other methods of raising money?
A: Yes, I do have plans to have sales and also asking donations from my community here in the UK but that is still in the process of making it happen. So, only online donations for the moment! :)
Q: When is your deadline for the fundraiser?
A: Well, depending on how it goes, but ultimately, I would like to reach my goal by the end of April.
Q: What are your monthly targets?
A: I try to keep a realistic target by aiming at about £500 in the first month and we'll see how it pans out from then. If I can get about 400 people to donate about £5 each, then it would definitely reach my target. However, I am grateful for any amount!
Q: Anything that we can look forward to when you reach a target?
A: Yes, of course! I'm still thinking of things that I could do that would encourage people to donate, probably dying my hair pink or run a half-marathon or maybe go on a phone-less strike for a
So, that's it guys, hope some of the questions are answered but if any, do feel free to email me or drop me a comment below!
