Help Josh become a helicopter pilot

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Joshua Hancock and I'd like to become a helicopter pilot. Flying has always been a passion of mine and its the only thing I want to do. As with any aspiring pilot I sought out to educate myself about the feild and all its aspects. I bought books on how to fly helicopters and studied them intensly. I even took the International air transport association practice tests many times to refesh my knowlage. I was ready, but one thing stood in my way. The funding. The more and more I reserched I found that it is nearly impossible to find any flight school that will finance you. Website after website I kept reading the same thing "Finding the money for training is your biggest challenge." I found that it's not like college. You can't get grants and loans as easily. You are on your own to find ways to come up with the funds and at around $600+ an hour someone of my very meager wage found this to be a huge obstacle. I began to hunt down loans and grants with little to no avail, but I refuse to let this discurage me. I have a loving girlfriend named Tina that I love and want to start a life with. I have a wonderful daughter named Ashbury Autumn that I am so proud of. I want to better their lives and provide them what they deserve, Love and stability. I want to fallow my passion and improve their lives. I want to fly for emergency medical transport, or forrest fire fighting pilot and save lives. I want to make a difference. So please, if you can relate and want to help me make a difference in the lives of the ones I love and others,, Please donate.

Thank you so much
