My Chinese Visa

I wouldn't be able to live it down if the reason I was unable to go on my trip was due to the fact that I neglected to get a chinese visa... My mom would literally kick me out of the house. So, not yet ready to be homeless, I have my application ready, but there is just one problem. In order to get my visa, I need proof of departure, also known as plane tickets.
Now for those of you who don't know, let me fill you in on the logistics of my fundraising:
- 90% of the money raised goes towards the projects in the field (not non-profit overhead)
- 10% goes towards my trip... to the projects in the field... So, I guess you could say that 100% of the money goes to the actual projects.

Heres the deal, I have less than 7 weeks to raise $20,000. But since it takes five days to process the request for a Visa I really only have 6 weeks.

I received six hundred dollars today from just two donations, so I have no doubt that we can do this. But those donations have to come in soon! Lets do it, if for nothing else but my Chinese Visa.
