My name is Eva and I am in a wheelchair. I love travelling and it gives me a sense of freedom, joy and meaning. For years I have dreamed of one day experiencing Japan - a country that has fascinated me since I was a little girl with its culture, nature, respect for tradition and technology. However, my health condition unfortunately does not allow me to travel independently (my autoimmune disease-arthritis, which affected me in my early childhood, has unfortunately destroyed all the joints on my body so far). And so I need 24-hour assistance, which makes fulfilling my dream extremely challenging financially as well. Therefore, I would like to ask for your financial help in this way.

As I live in a wheelchair, travelling to distant countries is not as easy for me as it is for an able-bodied person. Nevertheless, I am not giving up on my dreams - I am looking for ways to fulfill them and at the same time to inspire others and make a social contribution. Financial support would allow me to overcome both physical and financial barriers and open the door to an experience that would enrich me not only as an individual, but also as a person who wants to show that even severe health limitations don't have to stop the desire to explore the world. I long to see sakura blossoms, walk the streets of Kyoto, feel the pulse of Tokyo and taste real ramen and sushi. I want to experience Japan with all my senses, and I believe that with your help I can do it.

Your support is greatly appreciated ❤️ I will use the funds raised to travel to Japan and wander cross-country in my dream Japan-travel insurance, airfare, lodging, meals, transportation for me and my assistant, without whom I unfortunately won't move a step.

Every contribution you make, big or small, is a huge step closer to a dream I unfortunately can't achieve on my own. Please help show me that even life in a wheelchair can be full of dreams come true. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ❤️

I will be photographing my journey and capturing everything I encounter. If with your help I can raise more funds than the target amount, I would like to put my journey in Japan into book form. With your help, this trip can not only be a personal dream come true, but also a powerful message of hope and courage to all who face similar obstacles.
