How to raise money for a friend?

My friend and her disabled mother live in a run down, trashy, moldy, old double wide. They pay and pay and pay so much money, they try so hard to make things better, but the place is just... it needs condemned! there's mold, broken parts of the floor where if you step in the spot, you will sink like 2 feet into the floor, the ceiling leaks, the plumbing is sucky at best, they have no hot water, is just horrible!

I feel so bad for them. My friend has high blood pressure, can't sleep, and has been having panic attacks, all from the stress of this trailer that they are stuck in, The have no savings, and every time they manage to get some savings going, something in the trailer breaks and they have to fix it. My friends is only 18, and she works like 6 days a week along with going to school, and she still can't get all the bills paid. They haven't gone grocery shopping in three weeks because they can't pay for it- and they are already on assistance...

I'm a full time student, but I want to do something so bad. My other friends and I would love to raise like, 3 or 4 thousand to buy a small single wide to give them. We want to tear down the double-wide and give them a new single wide trailer they can hook up to their land. (the land is great btw, it's just their trailer.) How can we raise enough money together. There are zero jobs up here that will hire me with the few hours i am out of school... so help, please!?

    Hospitals many times have some style of courses to help their sufferers pay for his or her medical prices. verify with them first earlier you do some thing else. you may make a public note on the bulletin forums in places like Starbucks, Jewel, Boarders only to call some, inquiring for donations to be made in a sum of cheque or funds order to so and so. You men may also do a charity motor vehicle wash around the neighbourhoods, or mow lawns. clarify to the proprietors your objective and that i'm effective they are going to be happy to fork out more advantageous. also, verify such as your college in the experience that they are prepared to help boost fund too.

    Try to open some kind of a charitable fund account with Pay Pal and send out notices via every way, emails, texts, etc., to your and their friends to help them out.
