I am sorry, but you are not going to get a PDA this way. You cannot come into a random forum and expect people to donate to someone they don't even know from the forum itself. We don't even have evidence of your credibility. There are so many charities to donate money to which need it for good causes and have much more significance then your desire for a free PDA.

I appologize if I am sounding harsh, but that is the way it is. On the other hand, I can give you a bit of advice.

One, you can buy used PDAs on eBay for reduced prices (though despite eBay's attempts, there is no garentee on things like this). Two, it is very satisfying to earn your own money. Make more of an attempt to get a job. My age is fairly near yours and I have done some work. The mere reason that you can't get hired as a grocer for the lack of the legal working age, does not mean you cannot offer to shovel people's driveways when it snows, rake leaves, etc for a bit of cash. Be creative. Be resourceful. Ask other people for advice. It does not look good to come into a forum and ask for money for yourself. Thank you.
