My Travel Story

by: Nicole Christensen Start Date: Aug 24, 2016 - End Date: Jan 20, 2017
Hello everybody,

My name is Ronald and I am a Junior in HIgh School, my best friend shown in the pictures with me is my Best Friend Sky, she is a Senior this year. We have been best friends since we were 6 years old. We fight like brothers and sisters do and we have the best of time when were together.
After she graduates, she will be heading off to college in a completely diffrent state and I will only see her on holidays if she actually ever comes home :(.
So we begged our Moms to allow us to go on this School Trip, completely chapperoned with many adults tagging along with us to make sure none of us teenagers get into mischief and have the best educational trip ever.
I am asking for donations because my mom is a single mom and works her butt off, she has been making payments monthly on my trip and I have done a couple fundraisers to try to raise funds to help her too. I have been applying at every store but no one wants to hire a 16 year old tsk tsk tsk.
The original cost for our trip is $3325 pp, We have paid it down to $889. Not bad right?

I am asking for the goodness of people to help my mother and I out, so she doesnt have to bare the burden of the last $889 and the spending cash that I am going to need while I am traveling.
My bestie and I are great kids, we dont get into too much trouble, occassionally talk back to our moms, never keep our rooms clean (not tru Sky is a clean freak). We would love to share this last major trip together before our lives change over the next year as she goes away. We are soooo close. I know my mom will break her back to make sure this trip is paid 100%, but if i could ease her pain financially, I would love that.
My mom is an amazing mom who has raised 2 amazing kids (25 yr old Marine and Me).

Every dollar helps, and if thats all you can or want to donate, I would really appreciate it, its one less dollar my mom and I have to come up with.
