Timothy Darnell is organizing this fundraiser.
This semester I unfortunately cannot afford to go to college but I'm saving up and will be going back in the fall...
Through a conversation with my parents we quickly realized that this semester of waiting is actually a blessing in disguise.
So as one last hoorah before I go back to College and ultimately get tied down by the professional world, I am taking the leap to knock an item off the bucket list and travel to Japan.
I hope to go see more of the world, experience a new culture, and God willing, an adventure lends its self to many ministry opportunities and gospel conversations.
As
a broke college student I need YOUR help to get there and live a little piece of that dream.
I will be doing Workaway, which is a wonderful service that lets you get a job as a farmer, a teacher, or just about anything you can imagine in exchange for free lodging and 3 meals a day.
I will likely be staying there a couple months.
All that's left on my end is the cost of getting there...
That's where you come in, and I pray that the Lord blesses you with the ability to contribute even a little to this awesome new adventure!
Thanks for reading this post and for all your love and prayers!

- March 19, 2020 by Timothy Darnell, OrganizerHey Everyone!
I am excited to bring you an update on my trip to Japan.
I found a host home!! His name is Marcelo and he is Japanese-Brazilian. He will be giving me, along with some other WorkAwayers a place to stay in exchange for help with his beachside business.
On an Island in South Japan called Nashishi, Shimanto, in the Kochi Prefecture I will be working as a carpenter on glamping sites, as a barista in the cafe, or as a general helper in the onsen. (this guy runs his business entire on WorkAway and has great ratings!)
And before you get too worried, Nashishi currently has zero cases of COVID-19 and where I will be in Japan is actually much safer than even remaining in Collin County.
I plan to leave on April 19th to be there for the "Golden Week Holiday" in Japan (when Marcelo needs my help the most).
I currently need about $1,000 minimum to help pay for just the plane flight to get to Japan.
The goal of $3,000 includes getting back home and paying for my bills while I'm there.
Thank you to everyone that has even donated a little!
With $250 I was able to cover all of my passport fees and cover 1/4th of my health insurance.
Please keep me in your prayers that this trip still works out amidst all this craziness!
