Hi! Im Jenna and I have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years with the love of my life, Ryan. I just met him for the first time earlier this year, and I really, really want to join him for Christmas break!

A little about us and our story:
I met Ryan through a blogging website called Tumblr. After a few weeks of talking and being around eachother pretty often, we devolped feelings for one another and eventually started dating on December 28th, 2012. It's been a ride so far. We have our fights, and it's hard sometimes to trust eachother since we're so far, but we love eachother. I would really like to marry him! He, honestly, saved my life.

In 2013, I had a pretty big fall emotionally. I began to drown in a pool of depression, darkness, and anger. I spent my nights crying for hours and hours untill I cried myself to sleep at 4 AM in the morning on school nights. I had several suicide attempts in the late 2013's. But Ryan was always there for me and (virtually) held my hand and told me that everything was going to be okay. And you know what, it was. Because he was there.

Currently, I have never been so happy with my life. I'm doing great in school, I get a lot more sleep, I go out a lot more. I laugh more, and I'm just generally more happy and more content with life. I have plans for my future carreer and college plans now, whereas before I thought I wasn't going to make it this far. I owe him my life because I wouldn't be alive without him.

We now sleep together on skype everynight, murmuring soft "I love you"s to eachother before we pass out, smiling still. I saw him in August for the first time, and I cried and cried because the pure happiness and joy I felt was truly overwhemling. I almost fainted! 


Ryan currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, and I currently reside in Chicago, Illinois. 600 dollars will cover airfare and also about 2 nights at the hotel. 

I plan on leaving on Friday the 19th of December, and I would like to spend at least 3 or 4 days in Arizona, so I would leave before Christmas. 

It would mean the world to both of us if you could fund this or donate in general to this. It's very hard to not be by your lovedone's side, and it sometimes hurts! If you donate to us, really, it would mean the world. You would gain my eternal friendship, to be honest!
