The daughter graduated 3.9 gpa and is now at West Point.
She often counsels folks in financial trouble and will suggest this as an option.
She does have a couple of 'pocket scars' on the arms from the needles...but other than that, she didnt have problems that I am aware of.
Good luck!

I'm glad to hear that it worked so well for your friend.
I would like to point out, however, that the concern over scarring isn't the scarring of the flesh where the needle is inserted but the actual vein(s) itself. It is my understanding that is not a major risk and is only a concern at all if you overdo it, but I thought I'd mention it.
Having read this thread, I must admit that I've been reconsidering whether to do this or not. Even if I do it just 12 times total I can make about $300 here. I'll have to think it over some more. It's also nice to know that it does go to help someone else.
