Pursuing my dream and hitting some challenges
Donation protected
Hello and thank you for visiting my page :)
My name is Saskia and about 2 years ago, I struck out on my own to pursue my dream of becoming an actor full-time. And for anyone who has left a relatively safe situation to pursue a dream because it was what their heart desired, you know well that there are challenges and obstacles thrown up along the way.
I went on disability about 2 months ago to treat an illness that developed when I was 7 and has been exacerbated over the years. The good news is that I have been able to treat my illness, but the bad news is that I incurred over $2,000 in medical debt. I am also losing my housing due to the Homeowners selling the property where I rent my room. I'm seeking and will be grateful for any amount to help pay down my medical debt, so that I'm able to continue pursue my dream.
Acting is what I have wanted to do since I was 4-years-old and putting on performances for my Grandmother in her backyard. And for anyone pursuing a dream, we know that we don't get there alone and on our own willpower. It takes the love of and support of others to help each other when we stumble. There's an author I really like by name of Ginger Howard Friedman who says this about acting:
"To act, is to give. You give gifts to your audience. You expose your vulnerability and share yourself, warts and all. You are giving love. You don't make up or pretend anything as an actor. We all do that enough in life...If you desire to act because you want to give of yourself, share yourself unconditionally, expose your vulnerability, and give love, then you've got a shot."
Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I will be grateful for any help you're willing to provide, publicly thank you, and hold you up in prayer.
