Fund raising: Maybe it's just not for me

I'm really feeling quite disheartened today.

I signed up to participate in Life Centers' (formerly Central Indiana Crisis Pregnancy Centers) annual Walk for Life event. I thought it would be so much easier this year because instead of going door to door asking for donations (which still works), I could just give people this web address and they could go straight to my personal page and make donations instead of having to worry about handing money over to me and not being completely certain of where it was going or anything like that. I thought it would be so much easier on both parts. I guess I was wrong.

I asked several people and sent out probably 30 emails to people in my contact lists and only received one single donation of $25. I'm quite embarrassed that this is the only contribution I have made for the organization. But, I guess I should be happy with whatever I can bring to them. After all, $25 is $25 more than they would have had if I hadn't signed up. I'm just thinking that maybe fund raising is just not something I am good at. Guess I'll try again next year. Might try a different approach, though I don't know what that is going to be...
