side note: Hi, all. My friend does not know I am telling you this, but this campaign is all for her. She comes from a family of six with five siblings and a single mom. There are also quadruplets in the family, and she is one of them. Coming from such a big family, she is unable to come up with the funds, as she never got much of an allowance or time to work. She has been a light in my world these past four years. I wanted to find a way to thank her before we go off to college and make some lasting memories. Thanks for stopping by! Every cent helps me make her dreams come true.  -Madison

Hi, everyone! Thank you for checking out my campaign. I am a senior in a high school in Michigan. Anyone who completed Latin 1 can go on a Rome trip in the summer, and I am currently in Latin IV. This trip is offered between our school and the Paideia Institute in New York. My friend and I need support. We have been dreaming about going to Italy since we were children. I have been studying Italian for three years and we would both love to expand our knowledge of the language and culture. This trip will focus on the Latin portions of Rome to expose us to Roman culture. We will also be immersed in the Latin language as well. Learning the Latin language is a blessing, as many schools do not offer it. This is a trip of a lifetime since it is a cheap price and we will never have an opportunity like this again. Please consider helping us out in pursuing our academic dreams.
