So, as you may know, I have paid in full my EDventure tuition, gotten traveler's insurance, gotten necessary vaccinations and medications, and paid for my flight going to Cambodia. Pretty much the last hurdle financially was to pay for a flight back to the States. Well, thanks to several anonymous donors I have now officially paid for my return flight, and I will be getting back to Arizona once this once-in-a-lifetime trip is over.
I cannot thank enough everyone who has helped me along this journey with your support financially but more importantly your mental and emotional guidance. And boy has it been an emotional journey. There's a lesson I can take from this though. I think it is to always have an open heart, but also to know my budget and know my limits.Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change this experience for anything, as it really has taught me a lot even before I've taken off. However, I think I appreciate in a new way how hard people must work to earn a living, and how quickly that can disappear, especially when you have large expenses such as this.
Again, thank you to every single person who has helped me to get this far. And to the most recent donors as well:
