Please Help Me Build A Strong Foundation!

If you have already donated, thank you so much! Unfortunately, I did not raise the funds I had hoped for. I have completed the world-recognized TEFL Teaching Certification course and am now actively seeking employment. In the meantime, however, I need help with daily expenses such as rent and groceries. Anything you could do to assist me would be greatly appreciated.

I apologize for previously dropping off in communication, and admit that I have not been forthcoming enough about how bad my situation has been. I am seeking assistance at this stage in my life because I spent many years prioritizing others over my own well-being, and should have focusing on those good friends that wanted to aid me moving forward. While I have learned valuable lessons from these experiences, I now recognize the importance of building a strong foundation for myself. I'm grateful for any support as I work towards creating a better future. The truth is, I am in South America out of necessity, because it is leaps-and-bounds more affordable than the USA. I also have some emotional support from a friend here. Life has been extremely difficult but I am happy to say I am moving on with my head held high.

I am truly excited about my new path forward, and I ask you now for a little more support as I start my new career in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). In the past, I have been the person who would give my co-worker a ride to work, I took care of family members, and I was always willing to help others when in need. Now, I am hoping that sort of kindness can be returned. Thank you, sincerely, for anything you are able to do.
