My goal has been to move to Japan as a photographer since I was fourteen, and I am now 26. I currently still live with my mother and lost my Job a little over a year ago. Looking for jobs has been hard, but I won’t give up I currently am $1,500 in debt. My phone has been turned off for four years creating more burdens while job searching. I had to sell my car after not being able to afford to fix the damages after a school bus ran a stop sign. I was unable to receive money from the bus company because I didn’t have car insurance at the time, so I have no transportation for jobs. The car was driven because our dog was sick and we had to take him to the vet it was the only way, he sadly passed away later that day. I’ve been having hard times, my father passed away almost two ago and my cat passed a month after. My father was my greatest supporter, and I haven’t had the time to truly grieve for him dealing with jobs and trying to get my life together. My best friend is now my current biggest supporter and I’m sure my father is still supporting me from above. To move to Japan the best way would be for me to go to language school. I’ve researched for over ten years the best way to move. I am asking for $77,000, $2,000 for debts, $20,000 for two years of language school, and the rest will go towards living, food, transportation, and emergency fees. Japan only allows part-time work while studying which I plan to do but I need a large sum to start me off. I already have a language school in mind as well as a list of possible places to stay. Camera equipment will be purchased once I make it to Japan and I will immediately begin my photography career while working part-time and going to school. Jobs are limited where I currently live, and my goals will be crushed at this rate. I have graduated from high school, and I plan to go to college in the future for photography, but I will figure out how to pay for college later. I have a deadline of August 1 and have decided to start making posts asking for assistance, so I don’t end up living on the streets. In the future, I plan to create my own business in Japan so me going to language school and asking for this money is only the beginning of my journey. I will also be documenting my journey using YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. I am currently applying to Walmart, but this will not be any help in achieving my goals anytime soon. I understand that $77,000 is a lot to ask for and so will think I’m a bum and need to get a job but I’m running out of options, so I am hoping for any help possible to start my new beginning to a better life. I currently already have my passport, Official school transcripts for college later, and a letter of recommendation. Total Funds Needed $77,000, all donations are helpful! paypal.me/MarceeEarly
