My Life's Dream To Help Others!!

Donation protected
Hi. My name is Silvara Trujillo.

All my life I have wanted to help the disadvantaged. I have had disadvantages in my life, including severe abuse of several types and extreme poverty, but I overcame them. I have pulled myself from homelessness and then a long struggle with physical illness to stability and a good life as primary caregiver of a person with disabilities.

Due to my past circumstances and long illness, I have been forced to quit work and rely solely on Centrelink  (Australian Social Security) payments including the meagre Carer's Allowance, which is paid to caregivers of people with disabilities. I want to achieve my dreams but I need financial help to do this.

The Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors is an excellent college and I have chosen to take a Diploma of Counselling, with advanced study majors in Grief and Loss, Addictions, Relationships and Conflict Resolution, Child Development and Effective Parenting. This will provide me with a solid basis for future employment and better enable me to support the disabled young lady with whom I live.

I want to work as a counsellor, particularly for clients with low incomes and precarious situations. I have spent years volunteering in support positions via the internet, both text and videoconference and have been told, by people I have supported as well as professionals in the field who I have met along the way, that I have talent and potential.

You can find pricing and information about the course on the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors website at www.aipc.net.au .

There is a huge shortage of counsellors available for those who can't afford to pay large fees and need more than the 10 psychology sessions per year that Medicare provides in Australia.

Please help me to achieve my dream of helping people who desperately need it!

I, and my future clients, will be so incredibly grateful for your help.

Thanks,

Silvara.
