Hello. My name is Damien, and I am in 8th grade at Bellflower Middle School. This year I have an opportunity to take a trip to Washington DC and Gettysburg. I would love to go to DC because this very well may be a once in a lifetime experience.
    When we do this we will be able to go to the National Zoo, the Washington Monument, Mount Vernon, and the White House as well as some other locations. This trip is $2,500 and even though it doesn’t seem like it, this is a HUGE discount. I will be 3,000 miles away for a week.
    I know that if my family and friends donate to this, we can raise enough money for my trip. I will take recyclables and do anything that you need that I can help you with. Now if you’re wondering “why should I donate to him?” Well, for one, you are actually helping somebody take the trip of a lifetime. Also, this is a chance for you to send a child to be enriched with the history of our country by seeing the American Capital first hand. So please if you can help sponsor me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
