My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page  Please dig deep and sponsor me online!

I'm going to be spending a full 12 months in Costa Rica, volunteering with children. I will be leaving in August this year, so I've not got long to raise the money I need, so please help!!

In addition to this Just Giving site, I will be fundraising in my spare time (alongside doing my A Levels in English Language, Music Performance, and Spanish) I have quite a few ideas!! However, if anyone has any advice they can lend me, I'll be happy to listen!!

On 30th April I spent 8 hours baking cakes, and got sponsored to this by my friends and family. The next day I sold them at 20p each. From this, altogether I raised £333.32.

On May 25th my parents and I got up early and did a car boot sale, which raised £205.73 towards my trip.

On 14th June I held an Evening Do with local band The Vinyl Monkeys, and a DJ. There was a raffle with prizes that had been donated to me by local businesses, and the grand total of profit I made was £1086!

In addition to this I've had quite a few donations by cheque.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Inter-Cultural Youth Exchange (Icye-Uk) Ltd will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!!

If you'd like more information, feel free to email me at jessica_symes@hotmail.co.uk

Many thanks for your support.
