Ever since I was a little girl, I remember telling my mom I would absolutely love to go to London. Every single thing about this city fascinates me. Culture, landscapes, the environment, even the cold and rainy days.

Mom always promised me to take me there. Sadly, we were never able to go. We have no time and no money.

But I'm not giving up on going! That's when you come in! My goal is to, not only lose myself in this city, as well as to move there for good and start a new life, but for that I need a bit of financial help. 

I've been saving up since last year. My plans were to move this January but I didn't have enough money, so I had to delay my goal. I've been looking for a job so I can save up a bit faster, but haven't been lucky enough to be called for an interview. I'm still looking for a place to work though!

With the money I saved already, I'm able to buy my ticket as well as one month of rent. I'm looking forward to be able to recieve donations for 2 more months of rent as well as other needed expenses like food, until I start working and get paid.

I'm 19 years old, from Lisbon, Portugal, and I've never been outside my country, or even been on a plane, but I plan to change that this year as my goal is move before my birthday on the 30th of September!

Every single donation is very much appreciated, and I'll be thankful to everyone who helps my dream come true,
XX, Raquel Carvalho :)
