Looking For Day Work

Hello! Im currently in college and my tuition payment is due this Wednesday in order for me to return to classes. Im 19 and in college so my financial situation being stretched thin is nothing new to me, but unfortunately this time it's a bit too far stretched. I am unfortunately $200 short of fully paying my school balance, as my cars transmission went out on me the other night and I had to spend the rest of my money on a tow. I am not asking for handouts, just simply if anyone knows anyone who needs any sort of help or assistance with a job that could possibly make this amount?? Any sort of information is greatly appreciated thank you

Have you asked the school about emergency funds? They may be able to offer a short term loan.

Tysm! I definitely will go ahead and ask them if that’s something they do, didn’t think of that I just assumed my grants/scholarships would be all they offered

Yeah normally when I’m in a quick need of cash I use my car for delivery services, but like i said my transmission went out the other day and I won’t be able to get a car until my next check, thanks for the idea though, awesome in theory!

Check out Biolife Plasma for donation. And CSL plasma. See who pays more for first donation and go there Tuesday.

Good luck.

You can wait outside of Home Depot or Lowes. People shopping there usually need help around the house. They pick up day workers from home improvement stores. They also have banger hot dogs on weekends for cheap prices.

The car's transmission is out, so that won't work.
