An unexpected curve ball has interrupted my dream of pursuing a career in film and working in the country that I have called home for almost half my life.  In order to keep my dreams alive, I need to adjust my visa status which means paying more application and legal fees. After pouring 10s of thousands of dollars into visas and work permits.  I will not stop the battle of staying in the US. I have made so many friends that I now call my family and I want to stay here in LA, my home.  I have incredible upcoming opportunities, such as creating a web series about the amazing world of scuba and scuba diving instruction (a passion brought into my life by Eco Dive Center) and other cool projects.

Time is short; I have six days to gather the funds needed to apply for a new work visa and remain in the US. Truly, I cannot thank you enough for any support you can offer.
