We are 2 sisters who were fostered separately. Now, as adults, we have been able to come together again. We did not have the best upbringing and received relatively poor education. We wish to better our lives and plan to work together to do that. This includes going back to school and finding a better place for ourselves.
My sister had decided she wanted a child, but upon needing maternity leave, she was fired and has now fallen on hard times not long after. She was told she could not get assistance because she originally used a closed doner (an anonymous doner, who both parties sign a legal agreement, does not give the doner any rights or legal or financial obligations for the child and protects the doners anonymity) for conception. Due to health reasons, she is restricted with work and having a hard time finding a new job in her area. I am personally disabled and despite the difficulties, currently working 2 jobs to make ends meet for my retired grandparents, whom I’m currently living with and myself, as well as to help my sister.
We wish to go back to school to not only enrich and better our own lives but, also enrich and give a better life than we had and that we can currently offer to her unborn child. We are blessed that the school has both of our desired accademics despite them being so different. Our biggest setback is that our school is out of the country and there are very few scholarships or grants for the type of school or for international schools. Most of them we are too old for or are passed and can not apply until next year, for which we have to until later in that year to attend. We would like to go sooner if possible. We thoroughly believe this is the best option for us and the child.
We have already worked out a care plan for the child in the country we wish to study to alleviate financial burden as well as last-minute stress from scrambling to get accommodations. The country in question also has a lot of accommodations that will alleviate the societal stress of my disabilities as well, which is a huge relief for me as the current country I reside in doesn’t have these accommodations.
Because we won’t be able to work right away in the other country, we are hoping to have at least a years worth of expenses prior to going. There is a minimum requirement of $12,000 per person to obtain a visa there. Our combined expenses for school and cost of living will be between $69,000 and $85,000 for 1 year, depending on the location of living.
We would deeply appreciate anyone willing to help in our journey to reaching our long term goal of achieving better livelihoods and creating the best one possible for the little one we hope to greet in better times when they finally enter the world.
Any little bit helps.
