My Travel Story

by: Trang Dang Start Date: Jun 9, 2025 - End Date: Oct 8, 2025
Hi, I’m Trang, from a small town in Vietnam. My father used to be pale-skinned, but years under the sun have darkened him. His back hurts from lifting, but he never once complained — because all he wanted was for his children to have a better life.
Now, I’ve been accepted into an MBA program in the U.S. It’s a dream — but not just mine.
Where I come from, many people work their whole lives without ever touching a bank loan. Not because they don’t deserve it, but because they don’t even know it’s possible. Dreams fade quietly in places like that — not with a bang, just with silence and survival.
I want to change that. I want to bring financial access to the forgotten, and help kids like me dare to dream of more — including the chance to study abroad.
Though I’ve earned a scholarship, I still need $6,000 to cover my visa, insurance, flight, and two first months of living costs. I’m not asking for luxury — just enough to take the first step.
If you choose to help me, you’re not just helping one student — you’re helping unlock a future where opportunity doesn’t belong to just the lucky few.
Thank you — truly — for reading this!
