Puppetry Workshop

I was awarded a grant to go to the Beyond the Sock: Puppeteering for TV and film workshop. The grant pays for the registration fee which is $1,400.
I still need to raise funds for travel, food, and lodging. Which I estimate is around $800. This is a great opportunity for me to learn from professional puppeteers from shows such as Bear in the Big Blue House, Between the Lions, Sesame Street, The muppets and more. I would be most grateful for any help. Thanks!
