Okay so...
@Night Phyre
I've spent these last days looking into both visa and financial issues, and in the end I'll not be able to go. Both because my visa is 5 days off from being able to be renewed without scheduling an interview (2 years and 5 days have passed since its expiry date), and the closest one considering I schedule it NOW in the american consulate is 4 months away.
And.. the biggest issue right now - money. My family is actually facing a debt of around R$80,000.00, which translates to roughly 29 thousand dollars. I don't feel good making a trip outside knowing that even 10 cents could instead be directed to helping my parents face this debt.
So yeah, I'm not going. Not even if 95% of the total expenses are reached. It's just not something I feel comfortable doing with my family. I'll be helping
@Mwisk in his campaign though, since this means he's the only one of us who will be able to go.
But afterall this was something that caught me offguard - in the most positive possible way. It never even crossed my mind that someone from another country would even go through the trouble of mentioning funding anyone to go there. This is really something. It means that everything we're doing down here towards the community is actually reaching overseas. I got really emotional while talking to Mwisk about it yesterday and I feel I MUST write these words.
Thank you. From the deepest realms of my heart, thank you. It means the world to me that the passion and effort we have down here are being noticed. I'll do my best to keep up to the expectations and respect you guys are showing us, and I know I can speak to both me and Mwisk about it.
I'm deeply sorry I'll not be able to go, but once again, thank you. :)
