My Travel Story

by: Valeria Carias Start Date: Dec 16, 2015 - End Date: Dec 25, 2015
I have been given the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in the Dominican Republic! This is an opportunity I never imagined having because I came here illegally from El Salvador when I was little. Studying Abroad never seemed possible.

I am almost there with the funds. I just need $500 to obtain my flight. I am not going to let my citizenship affect my chances of studying abroad, so I do not want to let money get in the way. I have a single mother who now works two jobs to support me and my brother, so it is difficult for her to give me the money.

I am coming with this being my last chance to raise any money. If I do not raise the funds, then I will not be allowed to go, and I lose whatever money I have put into this. So anything at all I would be forever gratful thank you.
