High School Semester Abroad (Abbe’s Chance for Personal Reinvention and a Fresh Start)

I'M READY TO GO ON THE ADVENTURE OF MY DREAMS!

I'm Abbe (HI!) a current high school sophomore, aged 15, looking to further enrich my education. Several months ago I was presented with the opportunity to spend a school year studying abroad. Not only is this an amazing opportunity to enrich my education but a way for me to begin taking steps toward my dreams of becoming an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and reinvent myself as a healthier and happier individual (as I'm still recovering from years of dealing with chronic depression). Unfortunately my research has proven that money is currently a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. My year abroad will cost roughly $10,000... I've attempted to raise money by obtaining a part-time job, completing chores for family and friends and even selling my belongings online. But the little money I do have stashed away is no where near what I need to follow through with this once in a lifetime opportunity. This is why I need your help. Any donations will help immensely and even if you are unable to donate please share my campaign with others! Please help me create a healthier happier version of myself abroad and satisfy my case of wanderlust! Thank you.
