My Travel Story

by: Sia Kim Start Date: Sep 19, 2023 - End Date: Mar 18, 2024
We chose Zambia volunteer work for our honeymoon!
I want to share our full love
Once upon a time, at the tender age of 25, life took an unexpected turn for me. I was diagnosed with leukemia, a battle I never imagined I would have to face. The illness forced me to confront my mortality in the most harrowing way, and the physical toll it took on my body left me bald and with a tube inserted into my chest. The doctors were brutally honest – they said I was on the brink of losing my life.

But amidst the fear, the pain, and the uncertainty, there was something burning deep within me: a fierce determination to keep fighting, to keep living. I knew I had to muster every ounce of strength I had, not just for myself, but for those who believed in me.

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, I underwent grueling treatments, each one pushing me to the edge. Physically, I was getting better, but mentally, I was slipping further into darkness. The reflection I saw in the mirror was a stark contrast to the person I used to be, and I despised the changes I saw.

Then, in the midst of my solitude, a stranger entered my life. We sat down to share a meal, and I was trembling with nervousness. But he was different – his warmth and friendliness slowly chipped away at the walls I had built around myself. He saw through the facade I had put up to protect my fragile heart, and he patiently waited for me to open up.

Three long months passed, and his unwavering presence never wavered. His friendship became a lifeline, a steady anchor in the storm of my emotions. It was as though he knew that time and patience were the keys to unlocking the treasure of my heart.

And then, when I least expected it, he proposed. Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to comprehend the magnitude of what had just happened. But in that moment, I knew, without a doubt, that I was loved. With his support, my body and mind began to heal in tandem, knitting back the pieces of my broken spirit.

Soon, our wedding day drew near. I couldn't believe how far I had come. Not only was I grateful for my second chance at life, but I was profoundly thankful for the man who had stood by my side, waiting and caring for me through it all. It was a love story that defied the odds.

Now, we stand at the threshold of a new chapter in our lives, and we want to share this love with the world. For our honeymoon, we've made a unique choice – volunteer work in South Africa. Both my husband and I share a deep desire to give back, to make a meaningful impact, and to extend the love we've found to those who need it most.

But we can't do it alone. We need your help, your support, and your hearts. If you open your hearts to us, we promise to carry your love to South Africa and share it with those who are less fortunate. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of the people we aim to help.

In a world often fraught with uncertainty and despair, we hope our story serves as a beacon of hope, resilience, and love. It's a testament to the power of the human spirit to endure, to heal, and to give back.

So, we humbly ask you to join us on this incredible journey. Your support will not only make our dream of volunteering in South Africa a reality but will also touch the lives of countless others in need.

With gratitude in our hearts and hope in our souls, we invite you to be a part of our mission – a mission fueled by love, resilience, and the unwavering belief in the goodness of humanity.

Thank you for considering our story and for any support you can provide. Together, we can make a difference.
