Hello, my name is Sirin, and I am 19 years old. I come from a working-class family in Lopburi, where my parents together earn less than $800 per month. Both my father and mother work in factories. We have other essential expenses, and we barely have any savings.
Currently, I am making mango paste to generate income for myself and my family, with the goal of raising the funds needed to pursue my dreams. I aspire to attend university in a bigger city, as I have been out of the traditional education system for several years. Additionally, I am focused on managing my mental health, as I suffer from depression, anxiety, and OCD. I have been taking seven medications daily for several years, and I haven’t left the house in a long time. Because my parents have to work, we never have the time or money to go on a family vacation. I want to travel and experience the world beyond my neighborhood: to see the city lights at night, to feel the tranquility of the sea and the majesty of the mountains, and to explore diverse and delicious cuisines. I also want to expand my mango paste business into something bigger, so I can provide my parents with a comfortable retirement.
Making mango paste allows me to focus on myself, bringing me peace and happiness. I want to make my mango paste well-known, both in my district and at the provincial level, by marketing it effectively and using high-quality mangoes.
I am seeking financial support to cover all the necessary expenses, and I believe that my ability to grow this business can change my life for the better, whether in small or significant ways. Every contribution will be deeply appreciated, and I promise to use the funds wisely. Thank you very much for your kindness and support.
