Be a social escort? Ignore the sanctimonious people
here...Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world and for
good reason too.
Also, if you are looking for donations, you need to at least set up
a website and have a paypal account or the like. Afterall, you
could be a 9 year old looking for money so that he can buy some
Transformers/GI JOE/Etc etc etc...
If you do not want to get into prostitution, there are loans
available. Don't be lazy, do some research. Here's what google
found:
