Campaign Story
Helping our family while at the same time helping those without a voice.Please everybody, if possible please donate even $1. Everything helps!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Elaine and I
am lucky enough to be the mother of four amazing children; two of which
still live at home with me. I am a single mother who is now, as of last
year, also without parents, as I lost them both a year ago on the
same exact day. The truth is, my father died of an ongoing illness and
my mother passed 18 hours later of a "broken heart." They unfortuantely
struggeld badly in their later lives and had nothing in the way of assets when
they passed. However, they were happy and were deeply in love.
For
several years, I have lived in China. While it is wonderful, it is not
where my children and I belong. I work hard but there is not enough for me to help my kids and others. I am working to give my children a legacy. Therefore, I am working to build a
guesthouse which I can then leave to my children. I am looking to move to Cambodia or Thailand where I could do what I dream of which is helping us and at the same time helping others.
The Guesthouse is a two-fold
project. First, I am looking to create something that can help sustain
us, financially, and afford us the ability to give profits back to those
in need, specifically orphanages, victims of sex and human trafficking, and the
animal community.
The second piece to this puzzle is to help save
the earth. Our Guesthouse will be completely sustainable. Our
guestrooms would use products that are recycled and environmentally
friendly. Our food will be farm to table. And of course, we will work to
get our electricity off the grid.
In all, our guesthouse will
be a go-to desitnation, allowing guests to have a wonderful holiday
while giving back to the community and helping the environment.
The most important piece to all of this is that I
am working to help my family have a better, more productive and
meaningful life. This, I cannot do alone. However, it is the best gift I
can give my family and the less fortunate.
I understand that not everyone is in the
position to donate. However, whether you can or cannot financially
contribute, please share my campaign with your circle of influence. The
more people aware of the campaign, the closer we will be to our goal.
Please help spread the word!
