Crowd Funding

An undergard from NTU did just that to help pay off her dad's hospital bills. In fact she raised about $25,000- last reported from more than 200 people. This happened last year.

Why I mention it here, it's because my friends have decided to start a bussiness & the brains thought of doing just that just to come up with working capital.

If you dont know what this is, crowd funding is where indiduals are asked to contribute money, usually online now, to support an activity which can include help pay for someone's debts (like mentioned above), support some campaign or support us -starting a business!!!!
