I'm kind of scared. I'm scared people won't give me money. I feel like I need to buy something to give to people for donating their money.

Would flowers be a good idea? I'm afraid I don't have the social skills to do this.

Hi Greenleaves I need to go canvassing for money for the blind

A flower sounds like an awesome idea! As far as social skills go.....be polite to the ppl you asking for a donation without being aggressive...use manners...smile...postive tone of voice....and eye contact. Just had an idea! How about a ribbon or wrist band? Does the association for the blind have a ribbon or wrist band?

What a wonderful thing to do! Just think of how important it is and surf on the edge of your comfort zone. You can do it--smile and just ask. Maybe you don't need to buy anything for them. Overall, I think most people have a good heart and are willing to help out if they can...
