Hello, my name is Amber and I need YOUR help!

I go to Christ Gospel Church of Houston and we're having a Youth Convention in Jeffersonville, Indiana this year. We leave July 22nd... Unfortunately, I missed out on fundraising and in order for me to go, I must come up with $500, that's $250 there and back.

So what I'm offering to you is that, I will help clean houses, yards, paint, pick up trash, etc... Anything that I can possibly help you with for a little cash to help send me there.

I'm also selling World's Finest Chocolate. They are Continental roasted California Almonds covered in Rich Milk Chocolate. They are $2 a box.

If you have any questions, message me and we will go from there. Thank you & God Bless :)

LOL!!!!! (SiFi, you don't even like milk chocolate!!) 

AwesomeTattooedDragon --- 10 years ago -

firstfruits, we've been taken by the best- you're not even in the running- 

mutton --- 10 years ago -

So is fake? 

mutton --- 10 years ago -

Dam goose! 

AwesomeTattooedDragon --- 10 years ago -

either it's fake or we have a herron want to be- 

firstfruits --- 10 years ago -

This isn't a fake account, I'm asking favors for a favor. If anyone needs help with any kind of work or an extra hand just let me know, I can help.. I'm not standing in the road begging for change, I'm willing to work for the money. 

sheddy --- 10 years ago -

I have a niece just like you. She had plenty of opportunities to raise money, but had better things to do. Maybe you should miss out on this trip. You will appreciate the next one. 

Identity Crisis --- 10 years ago -

Kinda harsh Sheddy...kids make mistakes. We don't know all the details. Even if she is a flaky girl, she is making an effort to pay her own way. 

sheddy --- 10 years ago -

Yes, it does sound harsh. One sister in law is letting her child go on the trip. After begging her for months to get busy raising money, she finally started writing letters for donations. My other sister in law told her son to do the fund raisers for his trip and he didn't do a single one. She told him he won't be going. In my opinion, they should both be sitting at home. They both had the opportunity to make more than enough money, both chose not to do the work. 

waterfall --- 10 years ago -

Thank you & God Bless

Why is it that most threads asking for money or trying to drum up business end with the words "God Bless"?

Are people using this to play on others' sympathy?

This isn't a fake account, I'm asking favors for a favor. If anyone needs help with any kind of work or an extra hand just let me know, I can help.. I'm not standing in the road begging for change, I'm willing to work for the money.

I can appreciate that. But you did have an opportunity to participate in the fundraising and for whatever reason you didn't. Maybe try selling your candy bars at a store front or something.

OP, the rant I am about to go off on is not about you and is slightly off topic, but it does speak to why most people are not going to be too willing to hire you off of this forum no matter how sincere you might sound.

People here are legitimately leery of letting someone on a community forum with a "story" into their homes to do any kind of work, for good reason. Lessons learned and all of that.

In fact, I found out that the little spinoff underground from KU has welcomed the resident thief to post among them. Personally I find that despicable, no matter how desperate they might be for posters.

Anyone that used a forum like this, made up of fellow community members, as their means of earning trust and sympathy as their front to rob people should be banned from any forum that they knowingly try to participate in.

To encourage or allow that kind of person onto your forum speaks volumes and is a slap in the face to the innocent, well meaning people that were hurt and deceived. It truly makes me sick that it would even be a consideration, and no way would I ever participate anywhere that allows that kind of criminal back to post among the very people she lied to and cheated and victimized.

Post of the day. 

firstfruits --- 10 years ago -

If someone asked me to help them & felt uncomfortable with me in their presence, then I would kindly leave. Cheap yard work, cheap car wash. I could walk pets, anything. If you're worried about thieves, then you wouldn't ask me to come work for you. I'm asking for work for an event to build my relationship with God, not lying to buy beer or weed and supply to younger kids like people my age do. I'm 20. I definitely make mistakes, I didn't grow up with a lot of money or parents who could send me to college. I don't manipulate people by saying "thank you & God bless." I have better things to do with my time, like babysitting my niece while my sister works & helping my mother In law while she helps her disabled husband. I didn't post on here to rob you of your things, nobody ever said I had to be left alone in your house. Like I said before, I'm asking to help you do work in your home, outside of your home, help paint a room, help you plant a garden, I'll even mow your grass, for cheaper than your monthly yard crew. I even clean rent houses for a local realtor , so if you needed verification you could verify me and my hard work yourself. I have no further reason to explain myself. If you need help with anything, send me a message & I'll get right with you. Thank you for your time

Are you selling the chocolate bars? I love those things, it reminds me of my childhood! 

firstfruits --- 10 years ago -

Yes I am still selling them, I have like 15 left. If you're interested I can meet you somewhere and you can buy some if you'd like. They're decent sized & so delicious. 

SagaciousSighFiGurl (Mod) --- 10 years ago -

Do you have the ones with almonds? 

firstfruits --- 10 years ago -

They are chocolate covered almonds, let me get home & I will send you a picture of the box so you can see. 

SagaciousSighFiGurl (Mod) --- 10 years ago -

Thanks! 

TinktheSprite --- 10 years ago -

I love World's Finest Chocolate Almond Bars! 

Ellen Ripley --- 10 years ago -

Meeeee too. 

TinktheSprite --- 10 years ago -

Meeeee too.

I think they are like, $3 now. 

*LOL* --- 10 years ago -

Well, it sounds like the candy bar sales might be the way to go. Maybe you could arrange to meet some of the people on here at a public place. Could you could post some times and dates and where you will be and those interested could go there?

I don't doubt your story at all, but I also agree that most people will be hesitant about letting a stranger into their home for odd jobs. 

firstfruits --- 10 years ago -

Here you are.
They're $2.
Give me a time and I can meet you in kingwood. 

firstfruits --- 10 years ago -

I figured I would try both.
Thanks anyway though. I appreciate it

I have totally had to stop eating chocolate. I love it, but my family has an history of diabetes and I can't stop with just a little piece, I will eat the whole bar, lol.
