Hey there,
I’m sure you’re reading this, wondering why you should help me out. Honestly, I don’t want to become just another sad story. I believe in my potential to change my life for the better. All I need is a Kickstarter, and then I’ll be ready to go.
Let me begin by saying how truly amazing you are for taking the time out of your day to read this. I’m Victoria from South Africa, and I’ve always been a hopeful child with big dreams, despite facing challenging circumstances.
I live with my grandmother, whom I love dearly. She has been my rock ever since my mother passed away from HIV. We’ve never really talked about my mother’s death, and I believe she is still healing from that loss.
My grandmother is a true Super Woman, not just because she’s my grandmother, but also because she works in a hair product factory, earning a meager income, yet still manages to take care of our family. I always strive to make her proud.
Besides me, my grandmother has three other children who are my uncles. Unfortunately, they’ve all given up on life. One struggles with alcohol consumption, and recently, he attempted a tragic suicide. Another one frequently finds himself in and out of prison.
But as I mentioned, I refuse to become another sad story. Despite the emotional turmoil this all brings, I am determined not to let my life be defined by these hardships. I want to break the cycle and pave the way for a better life for myself.
I’ve always dreamt of studying psychology, but I know my grandmother can’t afford the fees. I don’t want to burden her with that, so I’ve taken it upon myself to work towards getting to university.
I find inspiration in independent women online who lead luxurious lifestyles. Whenever I can, I visit a nearby Wi-Fi spot to watch their vlogs. It gives me hope that one day, I too can live that life. I’ve even started a dream book and borrowed self-help books from the library to kickstart my journey.
My goal is to establish my own online businesses while pursuing my passion for psychology. I’m a deeply passionate person, but at times, I feel lost and unsure about how to raise enough money for my university fees. I’ve tried various side hustles and applied for jobs, but luck hasn’t been on my side.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. It means a lot to me to have someone to talk to, especially because I tend to hide behind a facade of being okay.
Your support, no matter how small, would mean everything to me. It would bring me closer to turning my dreams into reality and breaking free from the confines of my circumstances. Thank you for being here, for listening, and for considering joining me on this journey
With heartfelt gratitude
Victoria
