Hi, I'm Jaharri. I'm 17, and I was just offered the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Japan with my school. I have been dreaming about this since freshman year, and now, 3 years later, as a senior, I get the chance to go. My whole life, I've been moving from place to place, state to state, so an opportunity like this has me over the moon with excitement.

I work part-time on weekdays, and I save whatever I can while trying to help around the house. The deadline for the payment was given last Friday, and we have until the 12th of December to raise the money, so I'll be $1,100 short. I'd appreciate any help I can get. I would be very grateful for any donations, no matter the amount, towards my dream coming true.
