My name is Stefanie, 

From a young age, I always was a nature girl. I dreamed of doing good for the earth & helping endangered species all around the world. I grew up on a farm among a large family of six children.  Financially my childhood was hard. I struggled in my teenage years with PTSD from abuse & had major mental health issues as well. These personal issues had help me back for a long time.

During the pandemic due to having less work. I started an urban farm in my basement with my boyfriend growing microgreens. As you can imagine this journey of growing organic greens in my basement reignited all of my deep seeded dreams of helping the planet become wild & green again!

I no longer wish to be held back by my financial hardships & fear of failure. I want the chance to finally set out and do amazing things for the world like I've always dreamed of. I'm taking the leap of courage and I've made the decision to start this fundraiser. 

If you choose to fund me, you will fund my dreams to travel abroad with the volunteer program GoEco.org! There are multiple endangered wildlife destinations offered through this website for a varying prices. My goal is to go on as many trips as possible in the next couple years (if the pandemic lightens up travel restrictions) Please help me reach my dreams to volunteer with wildlife organizations abroad!

Gratitude,

Stefanie
