A New Beginning

The covid19 pandemic crisis that begun early April 2020 has had a severe impact on me.

~Almost a victim of corona in April having all symptoms due to illness I was under home quarantine. I do fear this virus, therefore, am very careful n practice high standards of hygiene n self-care.

~Lost my job, no upcoming EVENTS (art exhibitions/ online sales)

~ My dream to pursue my studies has been put on hold as the saving I had for my plane ticket is now used for survival - food, rent n bills

~I live with a very tight budget to survive this pandemic crisis.

1 meal a day and intermittent fasting from 5 pm onwards.

With lockdown increasing, the high death rate of covid19, and the outbreak of new rising cases. The worst is yet to come.

Still believing n hopeful that this will eventually end, I can still pursue my dream

The crowdfunding I have on airfunding platform gives me some Ray of hope. For A New Beginning that I dream of

Your kind contribution n support is something I seek and request humbly.

Please do support me

I thank you from the depths of my heart

I need to raise another 900 USD for a successful project completion

Every little brings me closer towards A New Beginning

A New Beginning

In 2007, I was involved in a near death accident which damaged my skull. I also live with mental disabilities, BPD or Boderline Personality Disorder. Lastly, on April 2019, I was diagnosed with Cancer and Autoimmune Chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. Even with all of these, I still have a dream and I have challenged myself to live to the fullest and celebrate my life.

I have some savings but not enough to pay for my journey and to fulfill the final items on my wish list. The money raised will be used towards four things I must accomplish before my health fails and controls me.

To begin with, I will be giving up my rented home on May 2020. I have already starting to sell everything I own. Money raised from this will get me my ticket towards a new beginning..

I will be backpacking and couch surfing to any destination that will allow me to work, volunteer, etc., earn a little money, and move on to my next destination. I will keep doing this till I find a place where I will be allowed to stay for home and start a new beginning. (I was suppose to travel 30th of April; however, plans have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and community lock downs. I will travel when it is safe. Safety comes first and I take this lock down seriously. I hope all are taking extra precautions for their own safety.

Airfunding To My Next Destination

Ultimately my goals are:

❤️ Return back to school and complete my education. I gave up as a teenager due to family responsibilities when my dad left. The fund raised will be used to purchase a student work visa for relocation and for beginning a new chapter in my life.

❤️ Visit UK to attend my daughter's graduation this summer and rebuild my relationship with her. She practically grew up without a mom's affection. We were separated when she was 8 years old due to my divorce with her father. Now at 19, I just wish to be closer to her and hopefully, someday, she will accept my affection and return for my embrace.

❤️ #Backpack and Travel across Europe. I am a #couchsurfer and a budget traveler. I wish to travel, enjoy adventures, study art, and photograph this beautiful world all while contributing back to the community by volunteering wherever I can before I am wheelchair-bound. I wish to learn different or various forms of art and hope to do this while I travel and do a bit of volunteering in art galleries, schools, etc. where I can gain some experience and skills.

❤️ Another on my list is The Arctic Circle and KAKSLAUTTANEN (The Glass Igloo Resort in Saariselka, Finland) to capture the Northern Lights Aurora Borealis.

Thank you for taking time in reading this. I am grateful and I appreciate your kindness and generous support.
