Mexico City: People called her crazy, but 19-year-old Estibalis Georgina Chavez has never given up her dream of attending next week's Royal Wedding in London.
After a 16-day hunger strike that she says left her weak and demoralised, she is now one step closer to her own fairytale.
On Thursday, the teenager headed for the capital after a good Samaritan heard her story and agreed to lend her the money so she could make the journey to London, where her next challenge awaits: giving a portrait she has painted herself to William and Kate Middleton, as a wedding present.
She has been repeatedly told no more invitations to the event are available.
Lazo said Chavez' perseverance moved him and he agreed to lend her the money to pay for her flight to London.
She said she will try to find someone who can give it to the royal couple on her behalf once she gets to London.
