Help Mary Get Promoted to Professor!

I need help getting to California for my presentation at MAA MathFest for the first week of August!

My summer class was canceled due to budget cuts (thanks, State of Louisiana!), and I was depending on that money to make this trip. It’s an expensive one (travel, hotel, conference fees, etc.), but professional presentations like this one — and the publications that will follow — are essential for me to reach my goal of promotion to Professor in the next two years.

I know times are tough for a lot of people, but if you can assist me in making this trip, I would be eternally grateful.
