THANK YOU!! To everyone who has donated, I really appreciated your help and feel humbled. If someone else would still like to contribute, please do so. I set that amount as a low amount fearing I wouldn't get donations, but I can still use whatever you feel you can share with me. Thanks again!

My name is Joyce and I'm a Venezuelan woman. I've been living and studying in a different state from my hometown for many years now, but the current situation has made me struggle to support myself and continue to live here.

Going back to my hometown is out of the question as the opportunities there aren't much better, so I have decided to try and go reunite with my twin sister who is now living in Ecuador.

As I'm barely able to support myself at the moment with my current employment, it is impossible for me to save up enough to finance my own trip, so I have turned to fundraising to make my goal come through.

A couple of very charitable people will be helping me with some of my expenses, but I still need some extra money in preparation for the trip to put some documents in order, buy some necessities and have some money available when I arrive in Ecuador and while I'm looking for a job.

I would be tremendously grateful if you decide to contribute to help me, every little bit counts!
