Short Summary
My name is Dinah and I am a senior at Port Richmond High School in Staten Island, NY. In June 2013, I will become the first member of my family to graduate from high school. My siblings and I were in foster care and my sister has been taking care of us for the past year and a half, because my parents were unable to care for us. My sister is unable to provide the funds for senior trip this spring to a ski resort in the Hudson Valley. I want to have the opportunity to make senior year memorable and celebrate with my friends our accomplishments!
What We Need & What You Get
The trip itself costs $285 (which includes ski rentals, lift tickets, transportation and some food costs) and the reamaining $215 will be used for additional food costs and spending money.
The Impact
In the past, I have not been able to attend school trips because my family never had the money for it. I want this time to be different. After graduation, I will be attending college to become a nursing assistant. I am excited about being able to help those who have helped me along the way. Thank you in advance for helping me be able to make senior year one to remember!
Other Ways You Can Help
If you know of any part time baby-sitting gigs in NYC let me know, as I'll be trying to raise some of this funding on my own!
