Help me pursue my passion in life to become a skydiving instructor!

Waikato

I'm 18 years old and living in Hamilton, New Zealand. I'm currently studying Outdoor Adventure at Wintec.

Being Dyslexic I've always struggled with everything school/English related and would always wonder where I fit or where I am going to fit in with society. Never truly knowing what I want to do with my life.

In 2013 I was chosen to do Project K (www.dinglefoundation.org.nz/projectk) through my school. Through Project K I won a chance to tandem skydive with www.jumpstart.org.nz in competing this I finally knew what I wanted to do with my life for the past 3 years I've obsessed about studying Commercial Skydiving.

In 2017 I plan on studying a Diploma in Commercial Skydiving and achieving my dream and my passion in life to become a skydive instructor. ( http://www.nzskydivingschool.co.nz/ )

Although with this comes cost

Complete parachute system (with AAD):

New $9000+

Second hand $4500+

Altimeter $200+

Audible altimeter $200+

Jumpsuit (with booties):

New $450+

Secondhand $150+

Helmet (Cookie Fuel) $200+

Without this equipment my lifes passion will be un achievable.

If everyone gives a little, it will quickly make my dream a reality.

Thank you for your time.
