2 weeks prior to our trip (now March)

Nanxin ($4,475.10 accumulated)
Since mid-October, I found a super awesome job at a supermarket working in the bakery. Making and decorating cakes for a few hours, it's surprisingly therapeutic! Plus, my pay is astonishing. $15,00 per hour, I couldn't ask for better at 17 years old. (5 hours per week)

Angel ($5,616.00 accumulated)
After religiously going to work 52 times this year, I finally get to taste a day of break. I'm still unsure whether or not I will go back working to the Provigo when we get back, although the manager did offer a raise for my next pay. Story to be continued... 

Elena ($4,200.00 accumulated)
Wow! During winter time, so many parents leave their children home while they go on brief romantic trips. That just makes it easy bucks for me to earn! (on average $35,00 per child, four children per month for six months)

Together
We were feeling particularly motivated one day as we decided to bake 240 cupcakes (yep, we used 15 box mixes). At $3,00 each, we quickly sold everything during Montréal en lumière since Elena's father had a booth dedicated to the cinema magazine in which he writes articles.

In total, we have raised $17,191.10CAN to spend on our trip. What an accomplishment! Of course, our parents loaded our credit cards with extra money in case we encountered some unexpected trouble.
