Help me experience ECUADOR

I am a 27 year old senior at San Diego State University. I have never felt more accomplished to have gotten where I am today. I work hard for good grades, love learning about my major, and have managed to squeeze by without outrageous school loans. I am required within my major to have an abroad experience, in which I have chosen the unique 3 week faculty lead journey through Ecuador. I will be studying Sustainability, Global Citizenship, and Community Empowerment in the Amazon Rainforest, Andes Mountains and the Galapagos Islands. I have done extensive research on the country and I am beyond ecstatic to see it. It doesn't even seem real yet but I will be getting on the plane in 16 days!! 

I was talking about Ecuador to a friend (it's my favorite topic these days), explaining to her my financial situation and she recommended this site to help me. She simply explained to me that I would never know unless I just ask. So this is what’s up..

I ended up getting a comparatively small loan to pay for the programs tuition, fees and flight but an unexpected hospital visit has recently robbed me of just more than double my spending money for Ecuador. I will not need to pay for a lot while traveling with my school, but I will be exploring the country for two weeks after on my own. I would be incredibly grateful if anyone wanted to “go fund me”. I am not asking for thousands of dollars. Just know that even $20 would pay for 2 nights in a hostel or a couple bus tickets. And you would absolutely be receiving a thank you postcard from Ecuador!!
