Hi, I'm AJ and I suffer from severe PTSD. I currently can not work because of this debilitating illness so I am currently supported by ACC. The past couple of years have been extremely difficult, in it's simplest form I've not been living, just barely surviving. This year I NEED to start living again. I loved to travel prior to this diagnosis. I still love to think about traveling, but, travel and PTSD do not mix well unfortunately! My goal this year is to kick PTSD in the **s and make it to Asia, specifically the Great Wall of China, South Korea and Japan. That's my goal, and it's a tad scary writing it down, but hopefully if I work hard at therapy, achieve the little goals throughout the year I'll be ready late this year to take the scary/exciting leap to Asia. I've made this page as being on ACC does not leave much money spare each week to save for travel goals, so I'm asking for your help, if you can even spare $1 I'd be forever greatful. Thank you for any donations or just taking the time to read this!

The money raised will only go towards travel related costs. Thanks again.

Use of funds

Airfares, accommodation, sightseeing expenses, food, visa, tour, travel insurance, and transport costs. If the target is not met, the money will be put aside in my savings bank account until I can save the difference needed to make this trip happen.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
