Dear fiends! Help me, please, raise funds to cover the expenses of this trip!

I'm a full-time student now and have no time to travel during the school year. As my major is Linguistics (English and Japanese) I'm extremely interested in improving my language and as the same moment exploring new places. I'm not afraid of any kind of work (usually people say "hard-worker" when they describe me) so work and travel is a perfect option for me to invest into my curent studying and future career as an interpreter (speaking English) and to develop personal skills (living an independent life in a foreign country).
Learning the culture through everyday communication with the local people will help me to become a more flexible person and to feel the essence of American life. I hope that after the project I can make a change the attitude of Russian people towards the American nation. Besides, throughout the time in the USA I will do my best to destroy the stereotypes about Russia and the Russians on the interpersonal level. So it's just a small step to improve the relationships between our countries. 
I am so passionate about the project because experiencing the American lifestyle has always been my dream. This coming summer will be the last opportunity for me to be able to do the work and travel because I'll become a final year student and the work and travel program will be over for me. Unfortunately, my family can't afford the participation and travel expenses and I have no opportunity to save up the  sufficient amount of money ...
Inspired by hundreds of videos and stories about the US I've fallen in love with San Francisco and New-York as they differ so much from what we have even in the biggest Russian cities!
The project is not only the chance to travel but also the challenge to use the language and the knowledge I've already gained to live an independent life at least for 2 months. Besides, it will help me to fully enjoy the youth, freedom and beauty!
