A Moms Fight for a Brighter Future Campaign
Hello to all you amazing BackaBuddy angels!Imagine juggling parenthood, a new business venture, and the constant fear and reality of not making ends meet. That's my reality. I'm Zoe, and my family with my three children are my motivation to keep fighting for a better future.
The pandemic hit us hard. I lost my job just as I found out I was pregnant with our youngest. But giving up wasn't an option. My passion for digital marketing fueled my decision to start my own company during lockdown. It wasn't easy. Every day was a struggle, but with dedication and late nights, I built something special.
Today, my company has a few amazing clients, but the journey continues. While we are still struggling badly to make it through each month I have worked hard to open doors and keep fighting to make a better future. My biggest challenge now lies across the ocean. I've secured four business deals in the US market and all I need to do is meet my clients and sign the deals. These deals are a game-changer, not only easing our financial burden but also opening doors for my eldest daughter. With the funds earned, I can finally support her dream of becoming a paramedic and pay for her studies next year.
But here's the catch: the opportunity comes with a tight deadline. With April fast approaching, I need to travel to the US to finalize these deals. The only hurdle remaining is getting myself to the US to finalize these deals. The deadline is looming, and unfortunately, the cost of the trip – passports, visas, plane tickets, legal documentation, travel insurance, taxes, proof of funds, and other expenses involved in travel – is estimated at R85,000.00. Barely making it through the month with everyday expenses doesn't leave any wriggle room to save for the trip, and I've exhausted all other options.
I've tried everything to make this trip a reality, but I humbly reach out to the BackaBuddy community for help. Every contribution, big or small, will be a brick laid towards building a brighter future for my family.
Donating means giving my family a fighting chance in life, it means all the work I have done and sacrifices we have made as a family will finally pay off and I will be able to support my family. It means allowing my daughter to pursue her passion and become the incredible paramedic she's dreamed of being.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to my family and me. We are incredibly grateful for any contribution, big or small.
