GOTCHA!
Not going to Antarctica. So please excuse whatever strange post got you to click on this link.
For starters, if you would like THE SHORT VERSION scroll aways down.
But if you would like the
LONG WINDED JALYNN VERSION please stay seated:
I'm going to Cape Town, South Africa from July to November and I need $$. I will be studying at the University of Cape Town-- taking linguistics & geography classes (my majors), as well as learning about my past, present, and future selves.
To reiterate the desperosity of my $ situation, here is an anecdote:
In February 2015, a storm came over my life. A bleak. Dreary. Miserable. Windy. Treacherous. Storm by the name of the the Great Famine. You see, dear friend, back at University I used to clean white people's houses for pretty cash. But during this month, I could find little work. Once, I was headed to clean this lady's house and my stomache was so empty that I stole a slice of provolone and a handful of almonds from a stranger's house whilst walking to my destination (imagine my guilt!). And what a feast it was. It was like quenching the thirst of a thousand blazing suns, just for the simple pleasure of tasting again. And while I cleaned that lady's house, it took all of me not to steal her Girl Scout thin mints; not to hit her son over the head for warming up his oodles & noodles 3 times in the microwave (O! the liquid sodium smell that wafted in and out of my nostrils whilst I scrubbed the dog sweat off her tiles).
Eventually, the Great Famine ended, as do all great famines (some combination of meal-plan bumming and the kindnest of an elder brother). But that experience taught me the greatest leason I'll ever learn: money=food.
And so this is where you come in. If you would like to monetarily give to help me avoid Great Famine II while I am abroad, please do.
If you would like to fooditarily give please meet me somewhere in Baltimore city and we can exchange smiles & non-meat and/or space-based products.
Please leave contact info so I can thank-you properly. Thanks!
THE SHORT VERSION:
I'm studying abroad in Cape Town, South Africa from July to December. I have few funds double slash cannot work while I'm there. I am utilizing the internet fundraising industry to acquire dollars(rands) in order to buy necessities like food food & food. As well as trinkets and sojourning around the country. If you would like to contribute to my makeshift scholarship that would be greatly appreciated.
Please also leave your email so I can send you a personal thank-you card w/ pictures and a note when I get back!
What you get when you give:
$4.28- the satisfaction of having taken out your debit card to NOT in fact buy 8 McDee's apple pies that are secretly just potatos and sugar
$10- The relief of me not making one of those annoying "peace out America don't text me xoxo lol ty" statuses
$20- a possible maybe kind of ok never reason to maybe kind of never get your name tatooed on me
$50- veracity! drive! passion!
$75- I'll rap you Nikki Minaji's part of Five Star Chick?
$100- a jetlagged facebook inbox about how you're my best friend & i never wanna live without you
$150- An exclusive tour of the Ritter Foundation led by the Bean theyself.
$200- a suspiciously long cheek-kiss from me
$300- a suspiciously long hug from me
$1000- suspicion.
*this thing doesn't have spell-check so pretend i made
