Red Beach, Auckland

Hi!

My name is Aimee and I'm 20 years old.

Recently, I went to the UK to explore new cultures and to experience things that I had never done before. Being there really helped me to find direction on what to do next. While I was there, I learnt about East to West, which is a Christian organisation striving to meet the needs of vulnerable and at risk children, young people and families experiencing wellbeing and mental health needs.

I've had major interests in working in the psychology or medical field since I was 15 yrs old, and felt that this was the most perfect job I could have ever imagined working before getting my degree.

I'm a strong, committed Christian, and have been praying for 'what's next?!' for almost a year now.

I believe that the UK is the place that requires the most faith for me to go to, but also the place where I can flourish and grow most in this next season.

I'd like to apply for the Youth Mobility Visa to work in the UK for a few years, while serving alongside the Equippers church campuses there, volunteering in different areas such as Hospital projects, and am looking into ways that I could volunteer in training service dogs as well.

However, for all of this to happen, I need a miracle financial provision as well.

For anyone that would like to donate, I sincerely appreciate every little bit.

Thank you so much

God Bless you

Use of funds

Youth Mobility Visa - $5000 to be eligible for the visa, plus the application fee, and healthcare surcharge are all mandatory.

Flight ticket there, a little extra to move into a place, a 5% surcharge givealittle takes, so I have considered that too.
