Ok, so here it is - rather than coming up with an elaborate story showing why I deserve and need your help - I am just going to lay the truth out for you. I have been working a part time job to save for my gap year, and I have saved 90% of what I need for it - but I am still $500 short of the minimum funds I need, so in an act of desperation - here I am. I generally have an OK life, I'm not dying, I have no dependents - but I want to see this country before I settle down and 'grow up' so this is my only chance. If you donate to me, you will be helping me make my dream come true.
