Dreams/Goals

There are two things that I have decided to do. One of them is to take Amelia to Paris for her fifth birthday. The second is to make/set up my sanctuary center. To take Amelia to Paris will cost about five grand for her, myself, and my mom. It's about $3500 for flight and hotel. Thankfully, I have about five years to save the money. I'm thinking that, instead of birthday presents or anything, we get money. Seeing as she won't really start remembering anything, I think raising money for her will be okay, if it's to make her first memory amazing. I mean, my first memory is when I dislocated my hip at age four. I'm thinking that the first memory happens around four to five years old and it should be something big, really. So, taking her to Paris; our first time on an airplane, going somewhere outside of the US, should be a very memorable event. Seeing as I've always wanted to go there, its a great opportunity.
Now, the Sanctuary Center. I've always wanted to open one so that, when people need to give up an animal, they'll know they won't be put down. It's not fair to the animals that their life has to end just because their owners decided they can't keep them. I don't see how anyone can ever decide to do that. My animals are a part of the family. You don't just up and decide you don't want your child anymore, do you? I need to figure out how much money I need to raise to start this, as well as, the size of the building. Obviously, it will be nonprofit, and most money will go into upgrading the place. Do I want it to be just dogs? Dogs and cats? Or any animal. Of course, I can hire people to deal with the animals I don't like, like snakes. This way though, I can finally fulfill my dream, and make it so Amelia is taken care of. Amelia has been raised around animals already, so I'm hoping she'll like them like her Mommy. Maybe it can even be a Mommy-Daughter thing. And, if I have more kids (just one more) it can be just a family thing. That would be amazing! I still have a lot of things to figure out for this one... Cost? Animals? Location? Name? Etc.
Lastly, this is a question that I would love answers to. If I set up a GoFundMe for either of these, would any one donate? For Paris, if you wanted to, I would like to just get help affording this with birthdays or Christmas. As far as the Sanctuary, that's up to you. I know the animals around here would thank you. Just think of your loving pet. What would you want to happen with them if you can't keep them for some reason. Please, either comment on here or message me on Facebook.
