So! Great news, we have about 3100 without my fundraisers which means we are well on our way. We already finished one fundraiser at school and made about 250.00 and we are having a bake sale tomorrow which we hope will bring in more money. People have been donating to the cause as well and I would just like to thank everyone for helping! This time two months from now I'll be making it happen = ]

Less than two months!

Hello everyone,
my apologies for not updating in a while. Things have been very crazy with AP exams and graduation pending. Last week there was a Fundraiser for my trip at home in Boston. For those of you who couldn't make it, it was AMAZING. We had great food, music, poetry and so much more that just made the evening better. We raised over 700 dollars in the span of 5 hours which is much more than I expected! Special thanks to everyone who helped put on the fundraiser; Laura B, Erica S, Maria K, Mary A, and Jane B. You guys went above and beyond and I am so blessed to have people like you all in my life. Also, to my mom who has gone above and beyond for me since day one. She is an amazingly gifted, creative and strong woman and I thank her for being the light in my life. I have learned so much from just watching her and being in her presence and I couldn't ask for a better mom.

So far I have raised about 2,000 without the school fundraiser which has been pushed back until next week the 16th of May. We plan to do a bake sale, dress down day, and dance at the school which we hope will bring in a lot of money. There isn't much time left before I leave and there is so much to do. I've already begun my online training and in no time I will be off to Miami and thereafter to Honduras!
