Auckland

Hi,

My name is Kimberly and I'm a year 12 student at Mt Albert Grammar School.

This year, I've been given an opportunity to travel to the United States and attend Advanced Space Academy in Huntsville, Alabama. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and it's something i've always wanted to go to. I know that I will learn so much and never forget it. It's also always been a dream of mine to visit America and now i've been given an opportunity to go.

I've decided to try and get a part-time job to fundraise my way there, as well as selling baking but

I'm not sure that i'll be able to raise the required funds on my own.

My school has arranged the trip but I need to pay substantial sums each month to pay off the full trip fees.

I thought I'd appeal to friends, family and those that would like to help to raise the funds so I am able to attend this trip.

How can you help?

Every donation helps, no matter how small. You can also help me spread the word by sharing this with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity - it means a lot to me!

Thank you for taking the time to read this :))

I have always wanted to go to space camp and now that I have the opportunity to go, I need your help to get me there!

Use of funds

All donations will go towards paying for the trip expenses, accommodation, insurance and would be very much appreciated. I estimate based on the school's figures that the total cost will be approximately $9000

Space Camp Fundraising  31 July 2018

Hey Everyone,

Firstly I just want to say thank you so much for all your support!

From all the fundraising i've been doing and along with your help, i've now been able to confirm that i'm going to space camp with 45 others from my school. We still have a long way to go but it is looking good so far.

Because of this, I am going to extend the deadline of the page to 30 May next year as the trip does not take place until July 2019.

Once again, thank you so much for your support.

Kimberly x
