Help Madi get to Washington D.C.

Hi everyone! I am reaching out to our family and friends to ask for financial support for a school trip to our Nation's capital for Madison. Those of you that know Madi well are already aware of what an outstanding student she is. But for those of you that don't know her; Madison is currently in her junior year of high-school at a very academically challenging college preparatory academy here in Waco, TX. She is a member of National Honor Society and has been an honor role student her entire life. She is taking 3 advanced placement classes this year and 1 honors class.  In addition to her rigorous academic schedule, she gets up at 5am everyday for cross country and also competes in TAPPS for Theater, Art, and Latin. She is involved in multiple clubs at her school, including Community Service Club.  Long story short, she is a pretty amazing 16 year old. Every year her school offers trips to various destinations, and unfortunately she has never been able to go due to the expense. This year her school is coordinating a trip to Washington D.C. in April of 2020. Madison absolutely loves history and was almost in tears when she heard the announcement that this trip was on the itinerary. She understands the financial bracket that I fall into, and was very disheartened when she saw the expense of the trip. Being her mother, obviously I was heartbroken knowing that I simply cannot afford to pay for her to have this type of experience. I want her to have experiences beyond anything that I had at her age therefore; I am reaching out to my family and friends, to my COMMUNITY, to ask those that are sympathetic to this situation to donate whatever you can. If you cannot donate, I ask that you share this in hopes that it will reach enough people to meet our goal of $1700.00. The expenses cover airfare, hotel stay, dinner and hotel security. We have to put down a deposit of $150.00 by Sept. 30th. Please understand that any donations and shares would mean the world to Madison and to me.  Thank you all for your time and consideration. Love to all!
