Alayna on Bent Street in Taos, NM

Hello Everyone!
I am so excited to be chosen for an Atlantis Project Pre-Med Fellowship in Lisbon, Portugal.  I am a pre-med student at Boston University majoring in Neuroscience with a Chemistry minor.  I am on the Dean's List, have been working 2 jobs while at BU to help pay for my classes, and I will be able to pay about half of the Atlantis Fellowship.  However I still need to raise $3,000.  Please help me raise this money to engage in valuable clinical investigation and obtain a broader understanding of the healthcare field.  I have always been interested in travel and feel those experiences create a deeper understanding of people and their needs.  

My long term goal is to become a doctor and return to my hometown of Taos, New Mexico. I am working diligently to become a positive contributor to the health and welfare of the people who have given so much to me.  Your support will not be wasted.  I will make the most of this experience and apply what I learn in my community.

My goal for this fundraiser is to get thirty $100 donations.  Of course a donation of any size will help and I greatly appreciate your support.  

Atlantis Pre-Med Fellowship Costs:
$3,911 Program Fee + $800 Deposit
$1,400-$1,700 Airfare to Portugal from Albuquerque
(I may be able to get the airfare down to $1,200)

Thank you for considering my request!
Sincerely,
Alayna Barela
