Bellmore Student Seeks Funding for Community Service Trip

Student Meghan McQuillan has created an online campaign to help her fund a community service trip to Guatalemala.

The campaign has netted more than $200 in three days. McQuillan's goal is to raise $1,800.

Her page reads:

I have been given the opportunity to be apart of a Community Service Trip to Guatemala with Adelphi University for an alternative spring break in March. We will be working with "Techos Para Mis Pais" painting houses for members of the community as well as working with the FUNDABIEM Company to provide physical therapy and working with the children. This experience will enhance my education by allowing me to see the world and assist me as I consider a career in nursing. I appreciate your generosity!
