My name is Amber Stone. I am 21 years old, and am hoping and praying that I may restart my life the right way.

All I want in my life is to help others, and this planet heal. I hope to share how I turned my own trauma into compassion and purpose, so that I can help others do the same. I want the suffering to end on this planet, and will do everything I can to try and stop it, or at least to bring more light into the dark places here. I care deeply about this planet, and all life on it.

I believe that everything happens for a reason, even if we can't understand it in the moment. I believe that God has a higher purpose for every hardship we face, and that the more we go through, the more we can share and help the world.

I am trying to hold this faith right now, but it can be so hard when you are going through hard times. I took a leap of faith to try and make my dreams happen, but I haven't been able to sustain myself from my personal services alone, and have dug myself into a bit of a hole. I am supposed to be in transition right now and need to leave my current destination as soon as possible, but have no money to do this and start over.

Now I am taking another leap to try and raise enough money to make it to the place I can call home, and start over from scratch, lessons learned. I am hoping to raise enough to cover the costs of traveling to where I need to go, my food until I make it there and find a job, and the beginning steps of renting my own place. 

This fundraiser took so much for me to create; it is extremely embarrassing for me to ask for help like this, but I feel like I have no other options due to these circumstances and having to leave so soon. I pray that this never happens again, and that in the future I can help someone in a situation like this.

Thank you for caring enough to read this, and to offer support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope to give back tenfold as soon as I can.
