Would you like to help an honest dame make it back to the beautiful land of New Zealand and finish her double B.A. in Classical Studies & Theatre? You came to the right place! In exchange for the goodwill of anyone who shares or contributes to my blog/college fund, I will do my best to serve up witty notes, pictures, updates on my financial status, and other fun insights until at last I'm a college graduate!

A Hard Day's Night

Hello Traveler,
To briefly explain the purpose of this entire blog, let me begin with an introduction:

My name is Amanda (hi, again). I'm your typical, 24-year-old, struggling, part-way done, on hiatus, disillusioned-by-the-"American Dream", $23,000-in-debt college student  HELL-BENT on getting back to the education of my dreams at Victoria University of Wellington (NZ) where I was just over two years ago...

Long story slightly shortened:
For some time I had heard wild tales of crazy broads using websites and facebook pages as fund-raising sites for their vanity surgeries and breast implants...and SUCCEEDING! I thought- if a person could do that, surely someone could create a university fund-raising page of sorts! Surely that person could be me! So, after years of panic, pain, and halted progress over college loans and tuition fees, living costs and collecting interest, I'm opening myself up to the world for help, and whether you be wealthy and generous, or poor yet kind-hearted & only a dollar or two to shuffle my way, I love and thank you for your gift! Some friends of mine may see this blog and just pass it on to friends of theirs, and that's great too! Hopefully with whatever fafsa sends my way, what I find independently, and with any miracles that can come of this, my educational goals can finally be realized.

 I'll have a link to a paypal account very soon, so please be sure to pass my link around and share my wish with your friends. All things considered, this is basically my own private scholarship fund, open for charitable donations!

Ever grateful and graciously yours,
The Destitute Doll

Wealthy benefactors, welcome!

In desperate need of money to return to college in New Zealand, I decided to create a blog where I can share witticisms, pictures, and other entertaining, thinly-disguised attempts to beg for money!
