Hello again! Let me tell you a little about myself, and what I need your help for. My name is May and I am 17 years old and have been studying the language, culture, and customs of Spain for 3 years. I am a devoted student and I have finished taking a college-level advanced placement Spanish course. It is my junior year and I have been accepted into an amazing program to study abroad in Spain. I love Spain, and I'm passionate about everything that goes with it! I was lucky to get accepted into this program secure a spot on the trip, but now need help with the funds to make this dream a reality.  I am working as much as I can to try and save up, but there is just no way I can earn money quickly enough to make the upcoming payments to keep my spot on the trip. I am at risk of losing it. That is why I need your help. Donations are needed as soon as possible to maintain my spot and keep up with the payments. I need to raise 1,000 by March 9th as the acceptance deposit, and 12,750 by July 9th. I know this may seem steep, but this is why I need your help. This program offers me so much and I cannot imagine losing it.

Please help me with this opportunity. In addition, while I am abroad I will be able to travel with some money that I have saved up to visit my mom. If I'm lucky, I get to see my mom once a year, otherwise, I see her every couple years. Your donation will help me not only study but also help me see my mom. I have not seen my mom for a year now, and with this money that I raise, you will not only be helping me to embark on an amazing opportunity, but you will also be giving me the chance to see my mom.  

In the long-term, I want to become a doctor; spending my life taking care of people. But first I need to get into college! It would mean the world to me to go on this trip; to see all the places I’ve studied and imagined. I also believe it will show colleges that I am not just an active student in the classroom, but also one who follows her educational passions in daily life.  Your donation will bring me one step closer to an amazing opportunity to explore something I am deeply passionate about. Every donation is greatly appreciated. I thank you deeply in advance.
