My Travel Story

Hello,

I am a Grade 11 student at Royal West Academy in Montreal, and I am writing to you today to ask for your support in reaching a important academic goal.

This February, my school is organizing an educational trip to New York City. This is not a typical vacation, it's a curated learning experience that includes visits to institutions like the Museum of Modern Art and the American Museum of Natural History. As a student passionate about art history, sciences, literature, and culture, this trip is a once-in-a-high-school opportunity to bring my classroom studies to life.

The total cost of the trip is $1,300. I am committed to earning as much of this as I possibly can. I have already secured a weekly tutoring job, and I am actively building a small business offering dog-walking and snow-shoveling services in my neighborhood. I believe in working for my goals.

However, with payment deadlines fast approaching, I have created this fundraiser to help bridge the gap between what I can earn and the total cost. I am choosing to remain anonymous to protect my privacy, but I want to be completely transparent about my efforts and my goal.

Here is a breakdown of the payments I need to make:

October 27th: $150

November 3rd: $300

December 1st: $400

January 2nd: $449

Any contribution you can make, no matter the size, would be a meaningful investment in my education and would show me that hard work is supported by a caring community. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing this page with your own network would be an incredible help.

Thank you for your time, your consideration, and for believing in the power of education.

Sincerely,
A Dedicated RWA Student
