Shiori's Vacation
Donation protected
This is my first Gofundme, done in behalf of someone I know in the virtual world of Second Life. This isn't about a short-term emergency or a life or death matter, but for someone who is looking for a break in her day to day struggles.

Hello everyone, this is Sierra aka Shiori Shi. Let me tell you a little about myself.
A few years ago, around 2014 I think, I ran into a brick wall so to speak. A severe case of depression hit me. It was a very rough time, and the general thought from people was basically "just get over it." For those who have ever dealt with depression, you know that its just not that easy. Needless to say it took quite a while for me to get over the initial bout of it. This depression also cost me my job as I was unable to work.
Speed forward to today, my depression is no better, and I'm constantly stressed and anxious. At the same time, I am struggling trying to get disability, something that's proving way harder then one would expect, even when you have extensive paperwork clearly stating your in no position to work,. The situation is being made even more stupid by the fact I'm not allowed to try and save any cash at all as due to how things work here in Sweden. I'm not allowed to have any cash at all to be able to qualify for welfare (I live on less then $1000 a month which is to pay for everything from rent to misc bills and food, clothes and similar).
This situation has gotten so far its hard to see any point in much of anything as of late, thus I'm here asking for help.. I must say my current situation has me a bit pessimistic about this as well. BUT my friend has stepped in to handle this thing for me for now so I don't get in trouble with social services here just because I try and actually get my life back on track. And I hope more people will help me out, so I'm asking for some help here.
As a first goal I hope to get enough help to give me a chance to get away from the situation I'm in. And no, I don't think it's that easy to "cure" a depression. But things need to happen, to change how things are. And my end goal is to hope I can get enough help to go on a vacation for a bit, visiting friends and just get a positive change to my life for once.
So thank you all for the help your willing to give me its much appreciated.
