Story
It hit me "The only way for me to access education to further help others needing primary care, would mean getting access to funding- otherwise, very few people with my background would ever become a counsellor" hence this education funding campaign was born. - Romario Wanliss
Share a Story, Save a Life, is my motto in life. Birth from a dark emotional place it's the permission I gave myself to keep going.
To strengthen the way I continue to fulfil that mission, I am training to become a counsellor specifically engaging with some of the estemated 8 million people working through anxiety and depression.
Currently freelancing as a Storytelling Creative Director, Dj and Speaker in my first year while on Universal Credit to support any financial gaps, your support means I get a seat at the table sooner than later to begin saving lives in the Mental Health sector.
100% of the fund goes to educational and Travel support needs during my term time.
You will always be updated monthly on my education journey via a newsletter rich with videos, pictures and/or written words.
Included in the updates will be information on how my qualification is impacting my work, supporting the mission, how your donation has been spent and other relevant topics..
