Return from London to vote YES!
Donation protected
Hey guys!
My name is Niamh, I'm a 21 year-old student at Trinity College, a member of People With Disabilities for Yes and an aspiring journalist!
I applied to an internship in the Guardian for writers with disabilities who are trying to break out. I use a wheelchair and have always faced prejudice when trying to find jobs or internships, but this sounded absolutely perfect for me!
I forgot about it for a while, and then earlier this week I got an email inviting me over to a group introductory meeting on the 24th!!! I was beyond delighted, but then realised I'd have to go over and back for one day because I'm very invested in repealing the 8th and want to vote in the ref. on the 25th.
That was all fine until I realised that I couldn't afford the return flight home the night of the 24th. The flight over that morning is only €23.99 but the return that night is just around €300 (according to Ryanair). :o
I'm really sorry to be asking (I actually do feel horrible asking) but would anyone be able to help contribute to get me home from London? I feel like I have to chose between my moral duty as an Irish woman to help repeal the 8th and the opportunity to help becoming a journalist and raise awareness of issues that women with disabilities face.
Thank you for reading and I really hope that you'l consider helping me out if you're in a position to do so!
