Campaign Story
Hello everyone,
My name is Angel, and I'm reaching out to share my journey and seek your support during a challenging time in my life. At 18, I embarked on a thrilling adventure into the world of scuba diving, fuelled by a passion for exploration and independence. Little did I know, this journey would lead me to unexpected challenges and financial burdens that I am now struggling to overcome.
My scuba diving journey began with a leap of faith into an internship program called "Zero to Hero," which promised to take me from a complete beginner to a certified Dive Master. Leaving my hometown of Malaysia behind, I embraced the opportunity to learn and grow in Brunei, working tirelessly at a dive centre in exchange for certifications and a modest allowance.
Despite the initial excitement, my experience quickly turned sour as I found myself overworked and underappreciated. Days blurred into nights as I juggled various tasks, from housekeeping to cooking, with little time left for actual diving. Yet, I persevered, driven by the promise of a brighter future in the world of scuba diving.
In 2019, my dedication paid off when my boss recognized my potential and sponsored me to become a certified scuba instructor. However, this achievement came with strings attached – a two-year commitment to the dive centre in return for their investment in my training.
Fast forward to 2023, and I found myself still tethered to the dive centre, struggling to make ends meet on a minimum wage while shouldering the responsibilities of multiple roles. Despite my hard work and dedication, I was met with indifference and broken promises from my employer, leaving me feeling demoralized and undervalued.
Now, faced with mounting debts due to my resignation, I am reaching out to ask for your help. With half of the amount owed to the dive centre already covered by my March salary and commissions, I am hopeful that together, we can raise the remaining funds needed to break free from this contract and pursue a new opportunity that awaits me.
Your generosity could make all the difference in helping me start afresh and embrace a new chapter in my life. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be deeply appreciated and bring me one step closer to financial freedom and a brighter future.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering supporting me on this journey. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to me.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Angel
