Get Sara To National Convention!
Donation protected
Hi! I am Sara Shaffer-Henry, National Alternate Delegate for Bernie Sanders. I am from Independence, MO, and am seeking support to achieve a life-long dream of participating in the Democratic National Convention.
For the past seven months, I have given countless volunteer hours towards building a better America for all of us by supporting the platform and candidacy of Bernie Sanders. Whether it was approving campaign events, texting GOTV, or hosting phonebanks, I have given my all to securing a future where everyone can get a fair shot at the American Dream.
Part of my American Dream was being part of a movement bigger than myself, and I found that through Bernie. To that end, I have campaigned and been elected to the Missouri State Delegation for Bernie Sanders for National Convention. I cannot wait to advocate and lobby for a progressive platform that helps all Americans, not just the few. However, dreams aren't cheap and while I have been saving money and vacation hours, the lodging costs for 5 nights in Philadelphia is quite expensive for anyone.
I am seeking funding to help pay the cost of lodging at the mandatory hotel assigned to me by the DNC. I am already splitting my room with two other delegates to reduce costs, but each night will still be around $210 (before taxes) equating $1,050 (before taxes). The money will be used to help pay for these costs.
Your support would mean the world to me. I never thought I would receive the level of support form my fellow Missourians to even get elected--now that I have, I want to represent their voice, spirit and platform to our national democratic party. I would be eternally grateful for any level of support to get me to Philly and not forget your support of my dream and helping me build a better country for all of us.
