Studies Abroad College Fund

My name is Michael A. Perkins, and I am trying to raise funds for my daughter, Joni A. Perkins, to take advantage of  the educational experience of a lifetime. She has been accepted into Florida State University's Education Abroad Program for her initial entry into college this Fall (08/26/2015). She has the opportunity to study in Florence, Italy for her first semester, which ends 12/10/2015. This opportunity also includes to visits to other city's in Italy as well as other surrounding countries. However, this opportnity brings with it added expenses well beyond what was expected. The cost of the roundtrip airfare is approximately $1,500, and the additional expenses associated with excursions to other countries is expected to cost another $3,000 to $4,000. Any financial support to help her to experience this educational opportunity would be greatly appreciated.
