LaPorte, Indiana is a dying town afflicted with a severe heroin problem and violent crime. Now a Seattleite, I grew up in LaPorte. I was lucky, and that's the only reason I made it out of there. Many of my friends never lived to be 21.

My friend, who is studying public relations and linguistics, sees the great opportunities in Seattle and will move here. Nothing will stop her from leaving LaPorte, but this campaign will certainly help make the transition more doable. 

She arrives September 24.


Here's a break-down of the monies needed:

$40 to mail a sousaphone to Seattle from LaPorte

$60 to mail additional stuff (instead of using a moving service since there isn't much stuff)

$200 towards a one-way plane ticket

$90 for a Washington id

$100 towards some basic furniture


More info:

My friend doesn't know I'm doing this yet.

Update: She knows about this now and is super excited to do some sousaphone marching!
