Original sentence: "P.P.S. The Lib Dem MP Charles Kennedy recently showed up at a big speech without a poppy, and attempted to remedy his error by cadging one from a more junior party member." From The New Yorker, 'View From Abroad: The poppy Index.'
Merriam-Webster dictionary definition: (for "cadge") Beg, sponge.
My sentence: Jimmy was so desperate for cash, he was cadging it off his own family.
