My Travel Story

Friends and Family,

I am in need of financial assistance for my exchange program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for Fall 2017. I've always wanted to travel to Brazil since I was a kid because I thought their Portuguese was funny Spanish. I also need to study abroad if I want to graduate on time. 

My goal is to raise $500 in 50 days, however, it'll be even more helpful if I raise more than my goal. This money would help me pay for my plane ticket, several vaccinations that I need to have before I leave, rent for an apartment upon my arrival (hopefully August 3rd), or even food for a few days before I move-in with a host family (TBD).

Currently, I am looking for a second job as the money I make in my current job at UNM will not be nearly enough even if I save all of my paychecks until my time to leave.

If I can raise $10 a day for 50 days, I'll be able to reach that goal! Please share this if you can and help me go to Brazil!
