<p>I work with a Doctor (in his early 60’s) who said he put an ad in the NYTimes, stating his case that he needed money for medical school. Some very wealthy women with no children met with him. They talked and she paid for his medical school. The only thing he had to do was meet with her for lunch once a year to update her re: his progress.
He stated to me, that you never know what people are willing to do, you just have to take the risk with the idea that it might not work. It either will or won’t.</p>
