How can I raise money or create a donation website for my Uncle?
-
I can`t get a job that would make enough money to seriously help him (I`m only 17). My uncle is a very kind, gentle, laid-back, kind of guy. He`s done some professional surfing, and has his own construction business (in CA) where he works harder than anyone I`ve ever seen. The economy hit his family hard, and he`s about to lose his home at the age of 50. He needs money to pay for skin cancer treatment, his wife`s ankle and knee problems and surgeries, and his oldest daughter`s wedding. But most of all, I think he deserves after all these years of hard work to keep his home and his business. His youngest daughter has taken to go-go dancing to help them (it`s the highest paying job she could get), and she should be pursuing a college education because she`s a really smart girl who got all A`s in high school. I want to create a website where I make a brief background like this and where people could donate any amount of money to help. I just don`t know how to make the website, make sure people know it`s not some sort of scam, and then properly get the word out without being so "in people`s face". Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Answer:
you people need to stop doing this. you must have a license to solicit money from the public. And they only give those to valid nonprofit corporations. no, you cannot "start a nonprofit". EACH violation can get you $1,000 fine and a year in jail.

You can't since it is ILLEGAL, a Federal Crime to solicit donations for personal use. Only a registered nonprofit may do that

What a great person you are for wanting to help. I am not familiar with creating a website, but I know it is very popular (among my group of friends at least) to create a Facebook group/event naming the situation (if you invite people and get friends to invite their friends, you never know who could read it and help out!). You could have a party of some sort (pool party? dress up?) and guests donate $5 or so? Or get together a group and set up a sausage sizzle at your local shop. Only a couple of ideas but hope it helps a little. Good luck, I hope your uncle does okay..
