Sig campaigns are good, but since primedice is done adding lower ranks you would take almost half a year to reach a point where you could join primedice again. If you can program you can make a lot as well.
I'm a programmer of 12 years and I have yet to see a single dime for my skills. So, no, programmers don't make a lot of money. However, to make $800, you should be able to be a bounty hunter for Bitcoin bounties on here, or you could ask news networks like CCN (cryptocoinsnews.com) to let readers know about your dilemma. Perhaps if you make your case well enough on a crowd funding platform, you'll be able to get generous people to donate to the cause. Heck, you're a full member, so there's a small chance that if you update your profile with your Bitcoin address, then some people might donate to you here.
