Hi, my name is Andrea, today I'm here asking people to please help me reach my dream.
Last year I finished my studies in Psychology, all this time since the day I finished high-school I've been saving money for my college and degree, that I wanted to study in Spain. It has been my dream since I'm 14 years old. However, because of too many inconvinients I had to expend all the money I was saving, that made me start my career finally 5 years later.
Today, I'm 27 years old, I finished my studies with one of the best grades in my University, but all the money I've been saving I had to use it for my college studies. Then, when I wanted to study my degree in spain I found myself with only 200 hundred dollars to travel. I obviously knew that money wasn't enought, so I decided to get another job. Now I have two jobs, and yet the money ins't enought to travel. On migration they ask me to have at least 10.000 euros to be able to travel and complete my studies for only six months. But after all this time I've just saved around 1200 euros.
This hole time I've been paying my family bills and my mom's cancer treatment; my father abandoned us when I was a kid, so It's always been my mom, my sister and me. I'm exhausted and angry with the situation and with my own country because I've been killing myself working on two jobs, practically with no resting everyday for the last year, and I've been working since I'm 16 years old while I was studying. My sister also has a job, thanks to that I've been able to save a little of money, but again, not enought.
Now I feel desperate. I dont know what else to do, all my effort isn't enought because the minimum salary in my country is around 250 dollars, so I can't afford study, mantain my family and pay my mom's treatment, so the only thing I've left is just giving up on my dreams. I obviously decided to prioritize my family but I truely don't want to give up on this, that's why today I'm here asking strangers for help, I don't know what else to do.
