A dear friend of mine and amazing musician, Tovah Goodman, is moving to Israel for a couple of years. She has saved up some money, but is shy of what she needs for living expenses and food by $2,000. Anything you can donate to help her will help. She has too much pride to ask on her own behalf, so I'm asking for her. I would like to see her, as well as all of my friends, succeed in fulfilling their dreams. Here is her story:

"I have been inspired by other cultures for a long time. The interest in international public relations and social change campaigns came from working with a group of Algerian teenagers a couple summers ago. The first 2 weeks I was their friend and they didn't know much about my background but they thought because I looked like them, I was from a Muslim background. When I finally told one of the kids I was Jewish he said, "you can't be Jewish, I like you." We then talked for hours about the different religions and cultures and to this day he calls me his favorite Jew. From that moment on I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to changing others minds for the better towards acceptance and tolerance. Israel happened when I went on a 2 week trip this summer and was inspired by the community and hope the people over there have. They are in the middle of a war zone and yet invited me over for dinner and made sure I was taken care of. I want to give back to the amazing people I met over there and show the true story. That is why I am going over there, to work in public relations on social campaigns like reverse hunger and gender equality and to film a first hand experience that hopefully one day can be made into a documentary."

Tovah just graduated from UNR with a degree in Public Relations. This is her first big campaign. Let's help her out!
