Study Abroad in Italy : Summer 2017

My name is JD Moore i'm a freshman at Boston Latin School and I'm looking to raise money for a month trip to study abroad in Ferrara, Italy! Going to Italy has always been a dream of mine forever but I started to take a serious interest in the culture, language and food when 2 years ago I began to study it in school. I have just been accepted into the  ciee summer abroad program and the money will be used to cover the  overwhelming cost of airfare and tuition that come with this opportunity. The deadline to get my funds in are : $1000 by Jan. 9, 2017 and the remaining $3500 by April 13, 2017 (not including airfare) These donations will mean so much to me because this is truly the opportunity of a lifetime and a chance for me to grow as a person, gain new perspectives on our world and a chance to gain knowledge that no classroom teacher could ever provide.  Money is the only thing holding me back from this so any donation is immensely appreciated and will help!
