Post Grad Adventures

Hello, friends,
Last spring, I was nominated and accepted into the Juniper Summer Writing Institute.
Because I was paying my way through college at the time I wasn't sure I'd have the money to go so I made a Go Fund Me account, and with the help of so many lovely people, ended up raising $495.
Although that was more than enough to be grateful for, I was short of my $1900 dollar goal. (1550 for tuition, 368 for room and board, not including roundtrip transportation and meals). In short, I wasn't able to make it.
This year I applied again and was accepted a second time! This dates are June 18-25, and I want to make sure I'm there.
But post-grad life as a person with a self-designed major in what may as well be called Impracticality, can be finacially trick (In the beginning at least).
For those who don't know, Juniper is a week long writing program at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst with daily workshops in poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction, craft seminars, manuscript consultations, writing life Q&As, and nightly readings (which I'm really excited about). The workshop leaders are award winning and one of the writers in residence is the author of It Is Daylight, a book I recently read and loved.
In short it's an opportunity too good to miss, twice.
I am trying my hand at fund-raising again for my tuition and boarding expenses, which, minus the $465 I raised last year, comes to $1435. That's $14.35, to this page, from one hundred people. I think it's do-able. Would you help me?
As promised, once I make it, I'll send you all a piece of the work.
