Today I am raising money to return to school to become a psychiatric nurse, to give back to the planet that gave me so much, and to help those who struggle mentally cause that state of mind your sure there is no answers. find hope and meaning in life. I have recently went through major changes in my own life, I've stepped out of my old shoes and gained a new and positive outlook on life. The past 13 years I have been working as a reforestation professional. Working a physically demanding job with little appriciation and almost no room for advancement. A job that requires you to exert every ounce of energy and endurance, with no health benefits, or any incentive to suceed other than your own personal goals. The lifestyle that pairs well with this work left me unfulfilled, unhappy, and unable to deeply root in any one community. transient life is okay for a mediocre amount of time in your early years. but if you crave stability you wont find that there. overtime this career choice left me in a state of depression and lack of drive towards everything. So I had to move on. I moved home to save money and return to school. I overhauled my life, and with the help of a handful of doctors, hours with a life coach, and my family and friends, I've managed to discover a new and awesome outlook on life. I am feeling alive again, replenish and really eager to engage in the world again. To maintain this positive momentum I had to remove everything from my past that's landed me here today. But I'm restrained financially to pay for my upgrading. My credit is too poor for a loan, and my family is in a state of retirement and can't afford to assist me along the way. This is where I hope that the goodness of the people that let me see the brighter side of life could help out if able, so I can give back to society all that I have taken.  Please help me reach my goals and better myself and my family. I want to give back. To myself an education directed towards psychiatric nursing paired with an open heart is a great way to start. Thanks and I wish the best for everyone that reads this. Thank you.
