Hannah's and Ben's Black Belt Test
Donation protected
Hi, we're Hannah and Ben.
In 2011, our father abandonded us, leaving us devistated and with a lack of self-confidence. It was a very hard time that left us scared and with our entire lives in uphevel. We spent the first couple of years just trying to understand and make sense of his actions. Our mum worked hard to support us and started her own business, working from home so we could continue to homeschool.
In 2013, we discovered Tae Kwon Do and we had no idea at the time how much it would change and impact our lives. As with everyone, we started as white belts. Above, is a photo of us from when we started and you can see just how excited we were. We worked hard, we went to classes, we took our tests, and slowly worked our way through the levels of belts. We hadn't realized there would be twelve belts to go through and what a journey it would be, but we put in the work it required to get to where we are today. We also hadn't realized how expensive it would be. Our mum has worked hard these past three years to make sure money didn't stop us from acieving our goals.
Through Tae Kwon Do, the two of us have made friends, built confidence not only at class but within life, and learned about the hard work needed to reach a black belt.
Now it's 2016 and our black belt test is fast approaching. We were shocked to find out how much the test will cost for the two of us, and we'd like to help our mum pay for it as a way to thank her for all she's done for us. So that's why we've started this campaign.
Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated and if you donate $50 or more, we'll send you a digital photo of us once we recieve our black belts.
We need the donations as soon as possible because we test in May and need to pay the fees before that.
We'll find out if we passed in June or July, and the black belt ceremony is in February 2017.
Thank you!
