New York, New York! Please Help Send Me To New York! PLEASE!!!!

First, I want to thank you for visiting my Pledge Page! My name is Travis, and I'm a Jr. in High School I am raising funds to help send me on a educational tour to New York City.
I live in a very small town in Illinois ,and go to a School with little money. My family is a middle class family and they can't help out with this $1,724 trip to New York. They have other things like bills, and my sisters collage to pay for. There are three reasons why you should help me.
1. The trip to New York is a one in a life time event that will happen in my life.
2. I want to see Ground 0 , to see that would make me see why it is so great to live in America.
3. When I grow up I would love to share pictures of this trip to my kids.

So please, Help me out! And God Bless You!
