Fox 2 DNC as NC Bernie Delegate Alt

I have been elected to represent North Carolina at the Democratic National Convention as a Delegate Alternate pledged for Bernie Sanders! Just the hotel alone will cost around $800! Then I also need to cover food and transportation to Philadelphia, etc. So I am asking for your help to cover these expenses so I can be at the Convention ready to get seated as a Delegate for Bernie, either maintaining the number of Delegates for Bernie from our State or potentially adding to it, depending on who doesn't show up. If you believe in Bernie and feel the Bern like I do, you know how important it is to fight for every Delegate vote we can!
Our State Party estimated that it may cost $2,500 each to attend, but I plan to keep costs down if I can and that's why I'm only seeking $1,500 to cover all expenses of attending this event. I appreciate any amount you're able to contribute. Thank You!
