Amys USA School Exchange with NZIIU

$1,245 of $10,000 goal
Given by 12 generous donors in 8 weeks

Amy has a big task ahead to raise $10,000 as she has been accepted for a High School exchange to the USA with NZIIU in August!

Canterbury

After a pretty intense application and Visa process, Amy has been accepted for a High School exchange to the USA between this August and Feb 2018! The only catch is she has to fundraise for this trip and it's a BIG total.

Amy has dreamed of high school in the US since she was 5 years old. This is her dream come true and something she has worked incredibly hard to qualify for.

Amy suffers from Dyslexia and was years behind the national standard. With the help of some great teachers and the promise of this exchange, Amy is now passing with distinction!

Amy also had a huge set back last year suffering from an autoimmune malfunction in the form of AMPPE. She lost most of the sight one eye and suffered slight damage to the other. Despite this she kept studying to make sure she had the grades for this exchange!!

Use of funds

All of the funds will go directly to pay for the exchange company fees and the flights / insurance charges.

Hey Amy, Going to the states in high school was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope you have a great time. Travis. (I went to uni with your mum and the last time I saw you, you were learning to count to ten in the car seat).

Good luck Amy with your new adventure. My daughter did the same to Nashville and made lifelong wonderful friends.
