Siiren's Swim To Virginia
I am currently in the process of trying to save up enough money to move to Virginia from Pennsylvania. The money raised will be to go towards my moving truck fee, a security deposit on the house, first month's rent and bills, and what's left over will be for the second month of rent/utilities in case i hit a rough patch once I'm up there.
Now onto the story... I've been born and raised in Pennsylvania my entiiree life; So in my mind, there is nothing left to experience for me here. I swore since I was young that I wouldn't get "stuck" here, and in the last few years, I realized that that is exactly what's going to happen. A lot of people asked "Why, Virginia?" It's not just that it's a new place, or I'd just jump a single state. Virginia has always been a place of comfort, because some of my family was out that way. The beach has always felt like home, and I've always had a blast in the city. The things I could do there, I cannot even attempt to try here; for example, surfing, playing in the ocean, meeting hundreds of new people vacationing, new restaurants, REAL sand instead of dirt, and an overall better area to make a better living. Any donation, big or small, helps me get a little bit closer to that dream. It's the one and only dream I haven't talked myself out of, therefore I think it's worth chasing. The problem I'm running into, the reason I've started the gofundme, is that I'm realizing its EXTREMELY hard to go from a low-cost-of-living area, to a high one. $500 in rent here, is $900 there. Once I'm there, the money will be compatible with what I pay out. But while I am here, I can only afford a little bit more than what I'm paying out here. Although it's not impossible, and patience would pay off, I'd like to be in the place I want to be, before I get married, have children, etc; so that I don't get stuck here even longer.
Thank you for even just the consideration, and if you donate to this, I cannot even put into words how grateful I am that you care to help. I love you all. <3
