Once in a life time trip
Donation protected
Hello, I’m looking for help to fund a once in a lifetime trip to London, England, starting August 1st.
I was given this opportunity by a non-profit organization that will be participating in a worldwide event that happens every 4 years in London.
In order to be selected to participate I had to go through a selection process which required me to write an essay and successfully pass the interview process as well. Out of at 130 young women that applied for this trip, 64 were selected, and I was one of them!
The trip consists of two parts: The first week we will be camping on the Windsor castle grounds in London along with other young adults from all over the world who have also applied and been selected to attend this event. The second week my group will be touring London and getting a firsthand experience of London culture.
The cost of the trip is approximately $3500. This money covers airfare, food, and activities that we will be doing.
So far, I have been able to cover at least $2000, which I never thought could have been possible. I have been selling craft at farmers markets and doing odd jobs here and there in between my High School classes and on weekends. I have also done a lot of club activity fund raisers, like teaching little kids the basics of camping and first aid.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to complete my goal as of yet for the final amount to fund my trip. The rest of the money that needs to be paid, approx. $1500,which covers the rest of what’s required to pay, along with a small amount of spending money, is due in three weeks and I am getting a little scared that I won’t be able to go.
Although my family has been a great help throughout the process of getting money, helping me fundraise, and donating whenever they can, my Mom is disabled and in not able to work. Raising money is a necessity but is also difficult given our circumstances. I’m afraid her disability check doesn’t go very far these days, although it does help.
I have just graduated high school and I’m going to start college in the fall, and I would like to experience another culture before I settle down and get to work. Going on this trip would mean the world to me. I have never left the United States and I would love the chance to experience something I have never done before or may not have the opportunity to do again, which is travel overseas by myself. I could meet new people and even make a lifetime friendship with someone in London. Sweat, work, and tears have been put into getting as far as I’ve gotten and I would hate to see all the hard work I’ve done so far go to waste. Please, I would greatly appreciate if you could donate to my cause, anything will help.
Thank you,
Anola
