Dreaming again :P

Let me start off with allowing you to get to know a little about me. I'm a mother of three children and I live in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. I grew up in this city. I was in LD classes all my life, But i never felt like i belonged in them. I didn't learn very much in school. my classes was small and the teacher gave up on us many times. Sometimes the other children would not listen and I believe that is why most of those teachers gave up on us. I sometimes wonder what would have become if the teachers didn't give up so easily.

I have always been a dreamer, I never really lived out my dreams, I wanted to own a daycare center then i wanted to start a nanny agency I always dream of traveling the world, and taking road trips ever year, but i don't know why I just don't do it. I always stop at the dream. This time for my son I not stopping at the dream of seeing him live out his dream to travel to Europe. I am going to make it happen. This will be the first dream that I turn into some that becomes real, I will turn from a Dreamer to a Doer.

We did car wash and lemonade sales, we also sold cupcakes and Cakes. Now I'm trying to Host events.

Today I'm a little down because of my son fundraiser events are not going as planned. I am hosting an event at the Olive Garden for him to raise money and out of 30 invites only 3 people said yes to coming. I'm not sure how to make these fundraiser events work. I thought having family come out would be a great way for the family to support my son. My son is going away to Europe for 20 days with the People to people student ambassador program. I don't have a very good paying Job but I'm blessed to have it. That is why I'm doing the fundraiser, because I don't make much money to pay for it my self. Other wise I would, but doing these fundraiser is helping my son realize how to save money and working hard can pay off in the end.

My son Elijah is 13 years old and shares the same dream as I do. That is to travel that world. He is getting a wonderful head start if we get up that funds for him. He will go to London, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and  Switzerland for 20 days. This trip is going to cost $6,499 and it has to be paid by May 1st 2011. If you would like to help him out just let me know. That would be great! But I'm sure with our Luck so far that won't happen. But it was a great try :)

So far we Raised over $2000 in the past 6 months. But if you think you can really support him just call The people to people student ambassador program at 1800-669-7882 and let them Know that your making a donation towards Elijah Chisolm  I.D# 10084708 delegate Tuition or go to http://payment.peopletopeople.com Thank you!

If someone could donate $1.00 we would be so happy to know that someone out there cares.

The people to people is a educational program and will help him in the future when he is ready for college he will have a wonderful chance of going to the college of his choice. Going to college was something I wish i could have done.A donation of any size would help him go a long way.

If you would like to learn more about the program go to www.peopletopeople.com and learn more about this Program that Allow children and teen travel the world to learn about the world we live in and become an ambassador for our Country.

Do you have any wonderful IDEAS to help him raise funds? We have $4000 dollars more to go. That does not include spending money for him when he goes or his passport.
 I will keep you all posted on his fundraising events and how he is doing.
