Hi there!

My name is Vincent (as you probably know), I'm an 18-year-old from Armidale, NSW, Australia.
A few months ago, I started my journey in the Christian faith and it has been an incredible experience so far.
God just has presented me with his total grace and I've been offered the opportunity to attend World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon with the Sisters of the Immaculata, and I couldn't be more excited!

However, as a full-time apprentice carpenter, I earn very little
and cannot afford to fund this pilgrimage on my own. That's why I'm
reaching out to the community for support. I am hoping to raise enough
funds to cover the costs of pilgrimage, passport and other expenses
associated with the trip.

This trip means a lot to me as it will allow me to deepen my faith,
connect and meet with other young Catholics from around the world. I
believe this experience will help me grow as a person and as a Catholic,
and I'm grateful for any support that can make it happen.

Goal: My goal is to raise $3,500 AUD to cover the costs of the
pilgrimage. This includes airfare, lodging, food, and other expenses
associated with the trip.

Updates: I will post regular updates on my GoFundMe page to keep
everyone informed of my progress leading up to the trip to Lisbon. I'll
also share photos of my experience so that you can feel like you're a
part of the journey with me!

Sharing: Please share my GoFundMe page with your friends and
family! Every little bit helps and I'm grateful for any support you can
provide.

Appreciation: I will be forever grateful for your support in
helping me attend this life-changing event. I am willing to offer
personalized thank-you messages and I will keep all of you in my
prayers! Please know that your generosity will not be forgotten.

Thank you for considering my cause and helping me achieve my dream of attending World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon!
God Bless,
Vincent

About

G’day! I’m Vincent, 

I am self-taught software and electronics enthusiast with over 7 years of experience working on a variety of projects. I am passionate about solving complex problems that affect myself and others in their everyday lives and enjoy developing efficient, high-quality software and hardware solutions.

In addition to my work with tech, I'm also a strong advocate for the responsible use of technology. I strongly believe that social media has many negative effects on mental health and well-being, especially on the younger generations.
Any chance I get I use to spread awareness of the harmful effects of these platforms.
