My Travel Story

Hello everyone, thankyou for taking the time to click on my page and visit with me! Over the last year I have been struggling with the after effects of a car crash I sustained in the end of 2021. Eight months ago I was enrolled in a massage therapy school in Arizona looking forward to finally starting a career path I loved. After three months into school I got into a car crash and sustained broken bones in my dominate right hand and arm. These injuries prevented me from being able to massage and have normal functions, sadly I had to drop out of school and move back home. I pursued therapy to rehab my arm and get function back in my fingers and wrist. After months of little to no improvmet I had my third MRI scan which concluded I had torn ligaments in my hand and wrist which was resulting in the pain. In June 2022 I had surgery on my right hand, which made my progress in therapy start all over again and depression crawled over me. It will take another 12 months for my hand to be fully healed and regain complete function. Not being able to use my dominate hand and arm has made for alot of challenges in just daily activities, cutting vegetables is nearly impossible, washing my hair takes another person to assist, in this short amount of time my life and mental attitude have changed so much.
My hopes for this fundraiser is to raise money for a study abroad program in costa rica for massage therapy. Due to my car crash I had to drop out of school two semesters in, which resulted in not being able to get a refund. With my therapy bills and hospital bills it has been next to impossible to be able to save money for school again. I haven't been able to get a job because my hand is still not able to do tasks required by employers. 
Your donations will go to my school tuituion, food expenses, liscencing, and flight expenses to costa rica.
My dream is to one day again be a healer to my community and provide unique expierences for my clients. Thank you to all that are able to donate.
