Today I am posting the 11th post for this #upfundme project. I was planning to go back with daughter when they go home in Jan. 2019 after the baptism. But alas I can not. My brothers do not want me to go. I have to earn my own fare or get my daughter to save for it. I do not understand them, they have their own beliefs and attitude. So even if I can not go back with her I will finish this by the decided date of July31.

I decided late because I only got the news that my daughter planned to go home in Jan 2019 and hoped I could back with her. But after what my brothers said I will save all I earned and given to me. I think I will move it to the savings in the wallet so I won't touch it. I still have my dreams and hopes of going to the US. I will not lose hope that I can attain it.

Maybe I will make another #upfund me for the ticket later again because the ticket will be more expensive. My daughter said that if I will be traveling alone that we will get the PAL which has a direct flight. She will also save and hope she gets a good income tax refund because the ticket is $900. She wants me to be able to celebrate my birthday over there in March. I wish I could too.

As much as I want to stay along time I can't because of my Mom. Since I heard that my cousin had a stroke yesterday I am more careful with my mom. But 1-2 months will be good enough. It also made me realize life is short so I need to do what I can to be able to see my grandson and stay as healthy as I could. My cousin has not seen her granddaughter yet because her daughter is planning to come home in 2019, but now we don't know she might come home earlier because of her mom's situation.

This is the original goal and I will stick to it for the meantime:
GOAL - $380.00 or 344.26 sbd (rate as of 6-26-18 $1.08 = 1sbd)
DEADLINE – July 31, 2018
POSTING – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Alternate with the other one. With updates on both every Sunday.

So far I have made 1 sbd and special thanks to @paradise-found for the 10 sbd he gave to help. I appreciate it very much. @henry-gant also gave me long before this #upfundme and I have saved it too. I have not touched it. Hopefully the rates will be higher soon so that I will exchange it.

I have to follow my brother's decisions because I do not want to go there and they will just ignore me because I went against their wishes. I have to do my best to save at least more than half so my daughter won't have a hard time too. With more time I might be able to save more than half.
