Hello all you shiny generous Dopers. I’ve been lurking for awhile and just recently decided to take the plunge… however, I’m currently doing the poor student thing with no credit card to speak of and could use sponsorship, or if no one feels like sponsoring such an ubernewb outright, I could send you a fiver or a cheesy Greetings from California postcard or somesuch whenever one or the other is readily available.
i dont have many posts and i havent been here for long so i didnt want to e-mail and impose… but if anyones willing to sponsor some random guy on faith… ill be forever in your gratitude and ill give you my super secret aim name and email in case you ever need anything…
incredibly humbled,
oh i forgot to include my e-mail… this isnt my personal one i use it for signing up for stuff but it is valid… fredericktothemax (at) yahoo.com
please post here if you emailed me because i dont check that email much
Getting an international credit card just for paying the SDMB subcription seem too much trouble for me; is there anyone out there willing to pay by proxy then?, I´ll send a crisp fiver through snail-mail more than willingly
Well, since I did get brave and pay up - first time I have paid anything over the internet, so I was worried, I’ll do the same for someone else who hasn’t got a workable means to do so. E-mail is celyn2001@hotmail.com.
Anyone want to get a nice crisp kiwi five dollar note in the mail?

…my business is struggling at the moment-I run the catering at a couple of Golf Clubs, but we got hit by the storm of the decade… Don’t have a credit card (business decision) and NZer’s can’t access Paypal without a credit card either…
Anyone willing to help will get a free meal next time they visit the country!!!
I am a university student in Canada with $2300 still left to pay off in my tuition. There’s $18 in my bank account and I get some money from the parents but that goes into paying my tuition in small increments and my transportation costs. I have a long commute which takes me on a bus system and a subway system. I’m unemployed (and actively looking for a job, trying to get into a local bank). And I guess it would be the honest thing to mention that I do have a credit card, but there’s about $350 in it. That’s got to kill my chances a bit, huh?
Did that sound a little exaggerated? It’s not as horrible as I just made it sound (I’m still healthy and happy, aren’t I?), but I am in fact pressed for cash. I know there are people who would need this more than me, but I thought I’d give this a shot.
I don’t really chat a lot in the forums so I may be at a disadvantage here, being somewhat of an unknown… But I do love these forums. I wish I had discovered them sooner. Maybe I would’ve had the chance to get to know more of the people here.
Hi icephoenix! I still have a “student” sponsorship available, but you haven’t given your email address! Mine is sdmb_shrinking_violet at hotmail dot com - send me your password and I’ll sort you out.
Well. I emailed someone (can’t remember who now) in private to make a request but never heard back. So… hello? Single mom here with serious financial problems that hopefully will end soon, but probably not before April 21st. I know $5 isn’t alot, but when I think of whipping out the ol’ debit card, a nagging voice inside says “but that’s half a haircut for one of the kids!”
I hate hate hate asking anyone for anything, but I would love love love whoever’s
willing to help a sista out.
If not, that’s okay too.
Wow. I got a lot of responses to my above post, and I appreciate it alot. Thanks to all who offered to help, you dopers are a generous bunch. I started coming here last summer but haven’t posted much until recently. I’ve been off work for minor surgery for a couple weeks, and have become addicted to SDMB! How am I going to go back to work now?
