I would really appreciate your support of my campaign please.

I am currently going through a rough patch after a run in with too much work and no play. So, because I can't afford a vacation or traveling to empower myself and fulfill life long dreams. This would be a part of not only rest and Therapy for me but also raising my awareness while living my dreams with my son also learning and experiencing travel. 

I have been working with children and Refugee`s along side being a single mother to an Autistic child. We, also had to fled from our home for safety. I have been  so caught up with work to maintaning us as best I could without ever having a break or even time to cry while giving out my shoulders for everyone else to cry on. Well, I broke about a year ago. I opened my eyes and could not move, just overwhelmed with pain from head to toes, everything was a blur and my speech was sloooow. Physically and mentally burnt out. 

As a part of my therapy I figured it would be nice for a change of scenery with the opportunity to visit some countries and experience other culture's as a part of better understanding and serving the people I would work with. I would also like to share some of my life's journey with person's who believe that "it can't get any worst than this", because I used to feel like that until I couldn't stand up from my bed without assistance. 

I have always dreamt of working with children and teaching them so they would be empowered so they might make better choices than the last generation. I even hope that if I do get this opportunity, I might find that place, that calling, where would I live out my dreams. 

This means the world to me because I would be sharing myself, a good Therapy for me, helping others while learning from them by raising my awareness of the world and it's people and their culture's. I have chosen these counties because they are kinda main land to other countries and therefore having mixtures of culture's not to mention current world safety issues.

I would like to thank you in advance for supporting my campaign. I am so excited and really looking forward to it. I`m grateful for your support.
