Ok, as many
of you may kow I have been attending school for the last several years while doing the posters. I have now graduated with
my BA from TESC and have relocated to Quintana Roo Mexico in search of a job teaching English. Imagine my surprise when I
discovered not only is Quintana Roo flooded with non-natives seeking to teach English but that instead of Mexico I would land
a job in Taiwan. I have been hired by Shin Gou American School, in ChongLi city, Taiwan. All I need to do is get to the job by the end of November 30th (which is also my birthday
coincidentally).
I am currently in
Cancun due to the increase in job opportunities with all the hotels here, but so far to no avail. Thus it is getting onto
time to leave here and attempt to make my way to Taiwan. This means getting an airline ticket from Cancun to the states and
then to Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan with an outbound ticket from Taiwan to anywhere else within the first two
week period due to immigration loopholes etcetera. This will cost roughly $1200.00 US Dollars depending on the flight.
As
for the ticket out of Cancun that I had set up with the airlines as many of you know I had bought tickets many months ago
to go to Germany for the G8 as some of you may remember the Department of State blocked my passport. I had to then cancel
those tickets and reroute to Mexico from DC for the IMF- World Bank meetings. Somehow in the crossing over of tickets the
travel agent booked me roundtrip to and from DC when I said to return to Seattle. I guess the Washington thing confused them?
Thus I cannot change the ticket or use the funds from it to supplement the newly needed ticket.
Now I sit in
Cancun with about 1000.00 pesos and rent paid until the 15th of Nov. As many know I have not asked for much from anyone in
the past often just mustering through the five years of school and the trials that brought upon me. Sometimes I was grumpy
and other times not. Now I have completed my BA and have a job offer that will allow me to save $1000.00 US Dollars a month,
pursue my dreams of travelling and allow me to teach children thus gaining valuable experience for graduate school later.
I just need help to get to my new job and am finding myself kinda screwed and am now asking for help. I have a friend in Seattle
named Jim. He has all the bank info needed to make deposits. Please if you can help out with any amount contact me and I’ll
give you his phone number and he will be glad to deposit the funds into my bank account or just email Jim at lordstoner@hotmail.com to coordinate Or if you use PayPal you can use the link below to donate.
You can also send funds to P.O. Box 20798 Seattle, WA 98102 just place a red X on the envelope so Jim knows what is going
on. Or if you have extra frequent flyer miles maybe we can set up an account with the travel agent his name is Tim and he
manages STA Travel in Seattle on Broadway by Magic Dragon. His email is
If anyone
feels inclined to buy the ticket as a graduation present or a birthday present that would be great, and greatly appreciated,
if you cannot afford to give the funds and want to loan them that is great too as I can quickly send the funds back to you
via Jim or the mail once I begin working.
I hope that you will be able to assist me and that I have not bothered
you to much with my worries. This is my first time out of the states and it got a bit screwed up. If you can, please help.
I could hold out here until months end if the time thing will help get the funds together after that I guess I walk back to
Seattle. Thank you.
