Please help me participate in the study abroad program at my school. I have been selected to study a semester abroad in Florence, Italy. I dream of visiting Florence due to it being the birthplace of the Renaissance, which I have strong passion for. I have applied for financial aid and scholarships but there is high competition and nothing is guaranteed.  I work 5 days a week and save every penny in effort to attend this trip; but even with this and some help from my parents, I am still going to come up short. Any donation of any amount is greatly appreciated as I am extremely excited about this opportunity to gain cultural experience, further my education, and pursue my love of art.
