My Travel Story

by: Edel Plasencia Start Date: Jan 15, 2024 - End Date: Oct 14, 2024
Dear friends, I am opening my heart to share my story with you. I am Edel, a 26-year-old single mother to a bright 8-year-old girl. Life has presented me with challenges, and I am reaching out to seek your support in my journey to recovery and stability. As a single parent, I have faced financial and health struggles, leaving me in a difficult situation. I haven't received the essential support I need, and this fundraiser is a lifeline for me and my daughter. My health condition has made everyday life an uphill battle. Without the support of my daughter's father and lacking child support, I have been solely responsible for my daughter's needs. I am fighting a brave battle against my health challenges, and I am determined to overcome them to be present for my daughter. Your generosity will enable me to access vital medical attention and the necessary medications that will empower me to fully care for my daughter. I am immensely grateful for my mother's assistance in providing my daughter with a quality education. Despite our complicated relationship, her efforts are ensuring my daughter receives the educational support she deserves. Transitioning from a public school to a Catholic school has been transformative for my daughter. Witnessing her academic success and seeing her excel, reaching the honor roll, fills me with pride and hope for her future. Your support not only impacts my life but also shapes a brighter future for my daughter, breaking the cycle of limited resources and unfulfilled educational aspirations in my family. My mother sacrifices her well-being for her granddaughter's education, working long hours in a warehouse job at minimum wage. Despite her dedication, the financial strain is heavy on her. She faithfully allocates a significant portion of her income towards my daughter's tuition, a testament to her love and commitment. Your support will alleviate this burden and allow her to find comfort and rest after toiling tirelessly for our family's future. I have been unable to work this past year due to my health condition, but I am determined to rejoin the workforce. Despite facing challenges in securing employment, I persevere with a hopeful spirit. To sustain my daughter's education and cover daily transportation costs, I have had to rely on expensive means of commuting, adding to the financial strain. Your assistance will provide me with the means to resume my job search and secure stable transportation, supporting my journey towards self-sufficiency and financial independence. Due to financial constraints, I have reached a critical point where I can no longer afford my medical visits or essential medications. As my health deteriorates, my ability to care for my daughter diminishes. The urgency of my situation has led to extensive medical bills and the inability to cover the costs of my vital medication. Your contribution will enable me to access necessary medical treatment, regulate my health, and manage the distressing symptoms I face daily. Your kindness and generosity can bring hope and healing to a mother and daughter who are in desperate need of support. I am heartened by the opportunity to share my journey with you, and I am deeply moved by the prospect of your support. Every cent of your donations will be dedicated to sustaining my medical care, securing transportation for my daughter's schooling, aiding my job search, and providing a lifeline towards her tuition. Your generosity will not only empower me to regain my health but also uphold my commitment to providing my daughter with a nurturing environment and a brighter future. Your compassion and support are invaluable, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude for any help you can offer. Thank you from the depths of my heart.
