Help Me Get to Copa America Final

EDIT: A huge thank you to all of those that helped make this possible. The trip is over but the campaign is not.
We are just short on the total goal and I would love it if we got just over the hump.
After I pay for the travel expenses, the rest of the campaing money will go towards TheAOSN.com.
The first order of business will be putting in the legal paperwork for the website, which could eventually lead to us getting verified by major social media outlets.
Once again, thank you for all of your help.
I will be forever in your debt.

Hey friends,

I'm Alexandro and I'm the owner of TheAOSN.com, a small sports website that I started in November 2013. I have had the pleasure of covering the Copa America Centenario this summer, something that has been a life changing experience.
At 5pm on June 23rd I was informed that I've been accepted for a press pass to the final between Argentina and Chile. The problem is that the game is on June 26th in New York at MetLife Stadium. Because of the short notice, I was not financially prepared.
I come to you for the biggest favor I've ever asked for: Help me get to the Copa America final.
The amount I'm asking for would cover the flight (from California to New York), food and other transit (the NYC Metro, Uber, etc). Any excess amount would go straight into The AOSN (marketing, design, development, etc).
Every dollar helps and goes a long way.
If I'm not able to make the amount, you will be refunded immediately.
I will be forever grateful for your generosity.
Thank you!
