Dear Friends,
     I am raising money for myself so that I can afford to attend this course that is called ALA(Ascension Leadership Academy) and be able to make an impact and a change for the better in my life. I have been through a lot in my life and have struggled with many personal problems due to: having been bullied to depression by my older brother while growing up; being made self conscious of myself and not feeling like I'm good enough; being hurt and feeling betrayed and let down by so many close people in my life; and it closed me up, leaving me feeling alone and isolated. I would have friends but no one I really truly trusted. I would put on a facade so no one would know how I felt, I pushed people away so they wouldn't be able to hurt me, and the worst part was I built walls around me so thick that I couldn't reach through to anyone not even someone who wanted to love me. Today, I have grown up a lot from where I was, emotionally​ and mentally but there are still problems I'm dealing with; for example it's really hard for me to accept a compliment about how I look because I still hear those voices from people calling me names and making fun of me. I want to be free of that negative weight that's dragging me down and holding me back. I'm asking for donations so that I can afford this program and make a positive impact on myself. Please and Thank You.
