Campaign Story
Hi all!
A little about me first... so I have been working in care for the last 5 years and as much as I have enjoyed it I feel I need to be doing something more creative. Everyone that knows me will know I have a huge passion for music,but in this day and age the chances of me being able to pack in my job to pursue my dream realistically cannot be done. However I have been interested in becoming a barber/hairdresser many years ago but due to circumstances I never went ahead with it. I don't regret not taking it at that time as care work has taught me a lot and opened up my eyes in so many ways, and I am grateful for that.
So the time for me to do something creative and fun is now. I have enrolled onto an NVQ level 2 course at 'London school of barbering" in Covent Garden. Even though i have covered the costs of the course I still need a little help. Trust me i have looked into every bursery, grant and charity available and i dont qualify for anything. As a last resort to raise some money I have decided to create this page. I am using my remaining wages, savings and credit cards to cover my time in London and I shall be working my current job til the weekend before I go.
I have tried various routes to get into barbering and this seems to be the best way due to my circumstances. Even if I don't hit the target i have set I promise you all that any money that is raised WILL go towards the cost of my future career.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and trust me this isn't ideal to ask for help but any amount will be forever appreciated :)
Dale
