My Travel Story

Hello, my name is Jasmijn, and I never thought I’d be in this position.

For years, I worked hard to build a stable life. I put everything into my work, surrounded myself with people I trusted, and believed I was on the right path. Then, in an instant, everything changed. A personal and professional betrayal left me with no income, no security, and no plan. In just a few days, I lost everything I had worked for.

I’ve been staying on a friend’s couch, trying to figure out my next steps, but I know that to truly move forward, I need a fresh start.

Why I’m Asking for Help
Right now, I have an opportunity to relocate and rebuild in a place where I can truly start over. I’ve found a way forward, but I need help bridging the gap to make it possible.

Your support will help me:
- Secure a stable place to live so I can focus on rebuilding
- Cover basic living costs while I get back on my feet
- Move forward without carrying the weight of this setback alone

This is not where I thought I’d be, and asking for help is not easy. But if you’ve ever had life turn upside down overnight, you know how hard it can be to start from scratch. Even the smallest support—whether donating or just sharing this—would mean more than I can put into words.

Thank you for reading and for being part of my journey forward.
