Help me and my son go on the journey we have so long dreamed of. From 2014 to 2019, I was in a really destructive relationship. I was both mentally and physically abused. My abuser, the father of my son received no punishment despite police reports and evidence. He lives his life out there as if nothing happened. My mental health is unstable but I struggle every day with work, home and my son, to have food on the table and a roof over your head.

My son's biggest passion is elephants. All he talks about are elephants. He has read and studied about the lankan elephant. The Lankan elephant is a subspecies of the species Asian elephant that lives in Sri Lanka. His biggest dream is to go to Wilpattu National Park where he can meet these elephants. And my biggest dream is to fulfill his. Please help me put a smile on his face. He has also struggled so much because of everything.
