Now why didn't I think of that?
I do pick up coins I see on the street though. I usually rub them clean and give them to the next person I see, saying "for luck"

Gotta be worth trying to apply to charities, and some people are successful.
Try searching here for less common ones:

Under help required bankrupcy fees are in 'bills and living expenses' / 'other'. You can fill in as many personal details as possible eg any industries you've worked in etc as there are a lot of small trusts with quite specific criteria.Only after the last tree has been cut down,
Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten0 -
We have even had one poster sell things like her bed, sofa and microwave to raise the fees. She replaced them for free from Freecycle/Freegle.
Do you have any space on a credit card or overdraft?BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -
Mel - thanks, will have a look.
OMG, only came up with one option,
Elizabeth Finn Care
and then:Can you help with bankruptcy charges, funeral costs or school or college fees?
We are sorry; we can't help with these costs.

Oakily doakily, just an idea.
Pop along to your local CAB and see if they can help. I know we have a local charity that has helped with fees in the past.
Do you go to church? Our church has a fund that is operated at the discretion of the minister, she has given the money to help one of our congregation in the past. I was helping the person, it was not made public, that is how know about it.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -
Have a good mess around with the turntous search engine, put all search criteria in to start with, then remove some, then others, try different jobs (if you've had a few). Each attempt will bring up different results.When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN
