Help Me Attend OzCon 2019
Donation protected
OzCon International is the one holiday I allow myself a getaway.
Getting together with my other family, my Friends who are avid and devoted Oz fans as much as I am, is a joy I look forward to and anticipate ... seeing auctions, costume contests, watching presentations, meeting new people, makes it the Best Convention you could ever participate in and be a part of!
This year it will be in Pomona, California during July 26-28.
Normally I rely on myself to pay for this trip, but after my TAFE courses and my low paying job, it's not enough. I don't usually ask for help, but this time I feel like I need to.
Back in 2013 I lost so much of my own money after being scammed by an old school friend - who then cut off contact, without any remorse or explanation. That money has yet to be reclaimed - even though I'm still earning money from my job, I still feel a heavy loss from what was taken from me, when I could otherwise be using for this trip or other important necessities.
Most recently I have completed two TAFE* courses in one year with the hope of getting new and more skills to find myself a better paying job that makes me happy ... and I am still looking, with only part-time pay each week, which is not enough after two expensive tuition fees.
The theme for this year's OzCon International is BIG and I would hate to miss out on it and the people I love having a delightful time with celebrating:
* the Life and VAST Literature of L Frank Baum (1856-1919), author of the Oz books
* the 80th Anniversary of MGM's 1939 Technicolour Musical "The Wizard of Oz"!
The donations here will be used to help with my Flights from Australia to America (and back again), as well as the Accommodation and spending money during my time overseas.
So if possible I would need the money to be converted from USD to AUD.
Please help me have a good time with family of friends at OzCon International.
I will be grateful for and appreciate any and whatever amount you can give.
Any extra expectations will hopefully go to next OzCon in 2020.
DEADLINE: July 1st, 2019.
* TAFE = Technical and Further Education (it's like University or College, only less demanding)
