Help fund medical needs during exchange

Hi, my name is Matthew, I'm an Australian Student at Charles Sturt University and I'd love the chance to study abroad in America for a year. While there I hope to be studying at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and am very excited to take on this opportunity to expand my life experiences and future employment opportunities. While in North Carolina I have lined up two potential jobs to work and help pay for my necessities. I am starting a GoFundMe to help pay for any additional expenses incurred while travelling abroad. I'm very excited to take on this chapter of my life and any donations help along the way! Thank you so much for reading or contributing, I truly appreciate it.

I am currently working two jobs to try to earn enough money to fund this trip as I suffer from Crohn's Disease which has greatly increased the costs of my trip. I will need to spend over $4000 on travel insurance due to my condition and will need to spend upwards of $1000 on my medicine. While these things are making it a little harder I still have high hopes that I will be able to earn and save enough money to go on this journey!
