Hello, I rather not tell a quickly written sad story or of my inability to financially support myself. I will however, say that it’ll being great joy to not only myself, but those who said I could do it. With that being said your help will be greatly appreciated and used to further my admiration for those who help others in need. Even if I don’t win thanks for helping others.
