Ok, here's the deal, I go to a school with a guy, a real nice guy, really quiet, but his family has financial issues. As of right now, this is the 4th month they have been without any kind of power, they live off of cold showers, without heat, and without electricity. In collaberation with my English teacher, we are trying to raise up enough money to get his family's bills caught up as best we can, winter is coming up, and we living in Virgina Beach are the #5 most prone spot to Hurricanes in the U.S., so please, all of you who can donate, please do, every little bit counts.

More information, and the donation link can be found http://www.futilenetworks.com/content.php?content.2

I want to thank everyone ahead of time, please spread the word, and thank you again.

That's awful. I feel bad for him. :/

I feel bad for this kid, but I would never donate money over the internet to something that is not backed by a reputable organization (even though these often times have high administrative costs that kill the efficiency). You are more likely to get your funds locally. Good luck, this is a good thing you are doing.

Sell the house and move to a shelter.

Yeah, I see where you are coming from, and it's understandable, and my teacher, who is also a Narcotics Investigator ;x is trying to find some ways to help him. Thanks again to all of you who actually read the post.

I know some people are going to see this as someone trying to scam money, buts it's really not.

Oh boy, that is so reassuring. Here is all my money!
The only way I see you getting any money (if it's real) is from people that know him. If you donate money to this over the internet you can just change your real name to Dumb Ass.

The hurricanes probably aren't gonna hit us too hard David, people were talking about school being closed here tommorow and Friday, yeah right.

Shouldn't your school help him with like food or whatever? Granby does food drives for Thanksgiving and stuff for kids IN the school that are in need. I donated some last year because we got extra credit if we did.

It sucks to be him; however, there are poor people here, too.  In fact, there are poor people everywhere. 

I don't understand financial stuff, but couldn't his family declare bankrupcy, start over, and move on with their life?

[Soul Taker]

That would help with any bills they have, but it wouldn't help them get the money to pay for electricity and such.

Bankruptcy is for rich people.

It is now. Now, you have to pay when you declare it! =p

I told my mom she should buy me a Mercedes and then file bankruptcy so that I didn't have to pay for it. Too bad they've secured it a bit more since too many people were redoing their house, buying nice cars/homes/whatever and then filing.

Actually I need a Cadillac.

Why not just eat up my tax money through welfare?

[CrAz3D]

You're too young for a Caddy, they're nice but an older guy's car.  You need something more sporty, maybe a new Z06.

Anyways, David, sorry to hear about your schoolmate & such.

Slight lol @ qusai-modo, heh

No way man, caddy's are nice. Pretty soon I am going to be driving a buick park avenue myself though, an upgrade over the lesabre I drive now. This thing has leather power seats w/ memory and the built in warming and back massage features. It also has passenger side climent control. Plus the back seat is HUUUGGGEEE, and you know what that means! (you can comfortably fit 6 peole in the thing).
