But I realllllly want to go to World Youth Day 2013!!! But we’re pretty tight on money…
😦
I’m begging God for a financial miracle so that I can go… please pray as well
 
Lord, please help TeenageConvert in this situation and may your most Holy and Perfect Will be done.
 
Your in my prayers.

Lord, please grant this to TeenageConvert, If it is thy Holy will.

Remember, it all depends on his will.

Edit: Btw So Do I!! 😃
 
I would suggest having some fundraisers to earn some money. God helps those who help themselves. 🙂

Ideas:
  • Car wash
  • Bake sale
  • Yard sale
  • Ask neighbors for cans/bottles you can take to a recycling center
  • Ask neighbors for donations, or even some loose change they’ve been collecting
  • Sometimes you can sell small things like popcorn or See’s candy
  • Maybe have a craft fair you can sell stuff at? This is especially good around the holidays (the biggest one is Christmas), and right now is in between holidays, so it’s a good time to get started.
Just be careful not to spend too much on supplies, you want to at least break even and hopefully make money… not lose money.
Every little bit counts. Good luck!

ETA: There are also some sites that do fundraising pages and then you can ask for donations from online friends.

I’ve been to 3 WYDs, and am now overage.

In my experience, parishes and dioceses often have youth pilgrimage groups, and organize fund raising for the group. I have seen such events as concerts, rummage sales, Easter basket sales, plate sales (this may require people with food licenses), etc.

The advantages of fund raising with a group include not getting stuck with overheads (such as supplies costs) which can put you farther behind; and getting to know other youths with whom you’d make the journey!

If you haven’t heard about such activities, ask around. You have about a year. There is ample time to finance the journey if you start now.

Just my MX$2 worth.

God Bless and ICXC NIKA

TeenageConvert,

I’m sure God doesn’t mind your begging, but give yourself some help too!

The above-mentioned ideas are great for raising money. I don’t know if you’re a young man or woman, but if you’re not into baking, maybe you can offer to do some yard work for your neighbors.

Also, if you plan to sell some items, I would ask your parish priest to make an announcement at the end of Mass. I’m sure the parishioners would love to support you.

Good luck!🙂
 
Hail Mary…

Amen.

Mother Mary, please make your intentions in this matter come true. Amen.
