Help Dave get to Cambodia

Donation protected
I've been a teacher and a student of yoga for years now.  I've come from humble beginnings and clawed my way out of the pits of drug addiction, homelessness, jail, mental illness, and depravity.  Here I am a Yoga Teacher in Philadelphia.  Been teaching for 3 years now and in my years of self examination I've changed immensely.  I've been having questions in my heart about where I came from.  I never been out of the country...the farthest I ever been is Cleveland.  I love being a student of Yoga because it's compelling me to get out of my comfort zone and explore new terrain.  I've met so many beautiful souls on this journey that has inspired me to try and go to Cambodia.  I wish to heal those who come to class and whoever I encounter.  I feel I will evolve to a whole another level by going to Cambodia which I feel will improve the quality of my work.  Then I could share this wisdom with everyone that comes to class, eventually opening up a retreat center called "The Healing Fields" in Cambodia.
With the funds collected I will be able to make it to Cambodia via airplane.  Travel through the country on motorbike and cabs.
I have hopes to travel Cambodia in the first weeks of November. Hoping to get the funds up by the end of August.
This will mean so much to me if I could get the funds to go to Cambodia.  I've never really traveled and I know just how much I can evolve by getting to Cambodia.  The support would mean the world to me. I have family over there I never met....also my mother died when I was 17 and I would love to find her family and to let them know...it would be an honor to meet the people who contributed to me being alive.
This kinda things aren't my thing...to ask for help.  But I would be extremely grateful for any contributions to this adventure.  I am also going to document this trip and possibly make a movie out of it.  Thank you so much for your kindness.
