Bus tickets to visit Washington DC for 17 y/o Hayley to learn more about government as she has ambitions to be a lawyer
Posted Feb 16, 2017
Due to both financial constraints and time, Hayley has not had the chance to travel much outside of her area. Her high school senior trip was to visit Washington, DC and unfortunately Hayley could not afford to attend. Hayley visited New York City with Big Brothers Big Sisters a few years ago and loved visiting a new, exciting city. This trip to DC would give Hayley the chance to see another city and to broaden her view of the world. It would also be a wonderful reward for a young female who has worked so hard in her life to stay focused in school, be a positive role model to her younger siblings, and help support her family by working part-time. If granted this wish, Hayley would be ecstatic at this once in a lifetime trip.
Hayley is 24 years old and lives in PA
Hayley is a 17 year old girl who has gone through a lot in her life. Throughout it all she has remained both positive and caring. As a result of family challenges, Hayley has had to grow into a very mature teen. Hayley lives with her dad, her older brother and younger sisters, who she acts as an additional parental figure for. Hayley has been matched for over 7 years to her Big Sister, Justine. Justine has been a significant support to Hayley over the years, and encourages her to reach for the stars. She is a senior in high school and has been working hard with her little free time to get into college for next year. In addition to being a student Hayley holds a part-time job to help support her family. She has big dreams of one day being a lawyer and is very excited at what her future may hold.

"Dear Rebecca, Hayley and her Big Sister had a fantastic time in DC. They were able to visit the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials; spend hours in a few of the different Smithsonian Museums, and walk the mall viewing the White House and Capitol buildings. They traveled during the Cherry Blossom season so they were also able to see them in bloom. It was a day that they will remember forever. Thank you for making this wish possible. "
