    Personal fundraisers?
    I would like to raise money to be able to buy presents for my 14 grand children. Is this something I can do here? Is there another avenue you can guide me toward ?

    Yes, you can solicit donations/contributions as long as you are honest about it. Fundraisers are not a good idea because the money is taxable to you.

    Why do you need to buy the presents beyond your income?

    I'm sure being a loving grandmother is enough. You don't have to stretch your outcome, and when the kids get older they'll appreciate it more than toys!

    It's not that I need to buy presents beyond my income it's that I don't have the income to buy the presents because I can't find a job.
    Also, I don't need to buy all toys there are 5 out of the 14 that still would want toys the rest of them are teenagers.
