Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess
Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.
On this, our seventh episode, our guest
is Mallory Willits. Mallory is a student at the Indiana University
School of Social Work who is currently pursing her master's degree.
Mallory has spent the past two years as a Beginning Social Worker at
Fairbanks Substance Abuse Hospital and Adult and Child Mental Health
Center. Mallory chose her journey in social work due to her natural
ability to talk to people therapeutically and her love for helping
others. She thoroughly believes in the power of traveling and lives
by the saying, "Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your
soul." She has traveled quite a bit of the world, which gave her
the opportunity to go to Ghana, where she met her husband, Wisdom.
April 3, Mallory started a GoFundMe
page titled, “Who said love doesn't cost a thing?” Here's her
description:
“As many of you know, and have been
following, I fell in love with a man from another country and the
immigration process is nothing short of a financial commitment.
Wisdom is worth every penny, but between graduate school and a number
of other financial commitments the money just doesn't flow in as
quickly as the bills come in. It has been just shy of a year since I
last saw the love of my life. My dream is to be able to afford
another trip to Ghana after graduation as well as submitting the
$1,600 for the next immigration [stage] as quickly as possible so
that there is no lapse in the process. At this point, we can commit
to one, but not the other due to finances. Immigration is our
priority so that there will be permanency with being with one
another, but we are hopeful to see each other again soon as well.
Many people have individually reached out to me and asked how they
can help. It was recommended that I get up a GoFundMe page to help
with our journey. Please know that we do not expect you to donate,
but that some people have requested a way for them to do so. Every
penny helps and is deeply, wholeheartedly appreciated. Thank you for
your unwavering support and consideration.”
So far, 17 people have contributed a
total of $600 of the $1,000 goal over the past 18 days. If you would
