Fund Raising For Desperate Man?

Dear friend, I too had to do something similar...Here's what you do-write a sob story, I'm not saying lie, just tell every emotion in a way that TUGS at the recipient's heart strings. Start at the beginning, an intro to how things began, tell everything. tell how this has affected you, your family and anything else that has been affected. Then tell what you are doing now and how this treatment is the best thing for you. Convince them to believe you need this treatment, and that they NEED to help YOU.

This cannot be done in one day. (take it from me) Begin by just forming an outline/rough draft/quick notes even if it's just a word or two to help you remember a particular idea that you need to convey ie: family, finances, job performance, marriage, kids' behavior. The next day or a few hours later start working, one topic at a time. Don't worry so much about putting it in letter format at this time. Then after all topics have been fully discussed and detailed, put them in chronological order ad the intro and an ending .

This is best done on the pc, so you can cut and paste things the way you want them.

Are you married? read this to your spouse, or a trusted friend that isn't involved in receiving it. Read it and reread it. Add to it/imbellish it. When you think things look good, wait another day and reread it. If you feel yourself getting overwhelmed, put it aside, and come back later. I took 2 weeks to write my heartfelt letter.

Don't forget...lots and lots of feeling. I know airing your dirty laundry isn't fun or easy, but you will have to put your pride aside. I even put an excerpt from my diary in mine.

The very best of luck to you!

make them feel your pain

put them in your shoes and let them know you would be very thankful
