I'm doing this as a fundraiser for my daughter, Sydni, to help get her to Washington D.C. for her 8th Grade trip! Anyone who knows me knows I hate to ask for help or money, but being on a fixed income, I fear I will need some help—any help I can get to make this trip happen for my kid!

So far, the fundraising through the school is not a viable option for us as most of our family and friends are too far away. We're hoping to raise around $150 by October 30th for the first payment (also near Sydni's birthday on the 29th, so this will be like a gift for her). Another $150 will be due Feb. 27th, 2026. Then the balance is due around April 2026; the total trip will cost around $500-550 plus tax and spending money. So anything at all will help and be much appreciated! TIA and Please SHARE!!!
