The page reads:
I sell bracelets to pay my college education. As an undocumented person living in the United States, I do not qualify for federal financial aid or state financial aid. It is difficult for me to ask for money but, at this time, paying for my education is becoming more difficult each semester. Please support this cause by donating or sharing this with your friends. If you wish to donate and not receive a bracelet, please let me know. For any questions, please email me AngyPRivera@gmail.com. Thank you so much!Vendo pulseras para pagar mi educación universitaria.
