Help Harper Experience Spain and Italy

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out for a little support during a time when I'm juggling increasing rent and bills, as well as a career switch to my passion for writing and game design. As a single parent, my foremost goal is to give my kid, Harper, the best experiences possible, and a stable household environment.

An incredible opportunity arose last year in May: Harper's school was organizing a trip abroad to Spain and Italy! For 10 days! I immediately latched onto this idea because it wasn't available to me as a child. Harper needs to experience this at a young age, I thought. And they weren't just offering it for the kids, but also for parents! This is a dream come true since I still haven't been outside of the United States, and I'm almost 40. Not only will this be a pivotal moment in Harper's perspective of the world and cultural development, but it'll cross off this long-awaited goal for me as well.

I've always wanted Harper to be well-traveled, to see the world, and broaden their horizons. It's something I longed for as a child and adolescent and now I have the opportunity to give that to them.

In addition to making this dream trip a reality, I'm also working hard on my writing and game design projects. Rent and everyday bills can make it tough to dedicate the time and resources needed for these creative endeavors.

Your support will help with:

Writing and Research: Fueling my creative work and allowing me to share my stories and game ideas with the world. (You can see my work here: Linktree )

I live in San Marcos, Texas, and while we're still newish to the city, I've quickly started calling this home. It feels good living here. I live downtown and regularly contribute to local businesses as much as I can. Your support would not only benefit my child and me directly, but it would also go back into this thriving, tight-knit community of creatives that I've come to adore.
