"Every Country Smiles" Broken Smile
Donation protected
Hello Smiley People!
My name is Samantha and for the past two years I have been teaching English and traveling in Southeast Asia. While I was out there, I discovered my passion of traveling and helping the less forunate realize and appreicate the beauty and blessings within their lives. At the moment, I'm working on building a brand and business called "Every Country Smiles" with goals of planning events to lift the spirits of those in need. While I was getting to know some locals in Indonesia, I got in a horrible motorbike accident where I fractured my skull, shattered my nose and chin, broke my maxilla and cheek, knocked out 3 of my teeth, as well as snapped my knee cap in four pieces. To say the least, my medical bills have stolen my ECS event money and I am now back in America, healing up and planning my next move. I was hoping to raise as much money as possible to not only assist paying off my medical bills (my teacher's salary can only go so far), but to also help fund future happiness events in third world countries if there are any donations leftover.
(In all seriousness, my medical bills are out of control and I just keep getting the "It's okay sweetie, just another year or two and you'll be all healed up and back on the road.") That's why I'm asking for just enough to get me out of pain. I don't need a perfect smile or bite to travel to places and people in need.
What are these events? Well, they all differ depending on location and the demographic of those in need. For example, events for kids in tropical/humid locations could include water balloon fights, face painting, and relay races. Each event varies after research of each culture. Also each event, will end with goodie bags filled with essential items to make life easier for each person or family who attended (food, medical supplies, etc.)
So I ask, please donate and help me get back on the road to helping those with hard lives, smile for a day and be able to go home with food and products that will help them smile in future days as well. :)
I have about 7 months raise this money so I can finish paying my medical bills and get back out there and get Every Country Smiles working it's magic for those in need.
Much love and a big wild smile,
Samantha
