My Travel Story

Hi, I’m Layona and I’ve been given an incredible opportunity to study abroad in Paris—something I never thought would be possible for someone like me.

I’m someone who’s been through a lot and still believes in dreaming big. This program isn’t just about school or sightseeing. It’s a chance for me to step outside of the world I’ve always known, to experience something new, and to prove to myself that I deserve good things too.

Growing up, life wasn’t always easy. I’ve faced more than my fair share of challenges, but I’ve kept going. And now I have this door opening to a whole new world—new cultures, new people, new ideas—and I don’t want to miss it.

I’m raising 5,000 to help cover the cost of travel, housing, meals, and other essentials. I’ve been saving and working toward this, but I can’t do it alone. Any donation, no matter how small, helps me get one step closer to Paris.

If you believe in second chances, in growth, and in seeing the world through new eyes, I hope you’ll consider supporting me. I’ll be sharing my journey, and I’d love to take you with me in spirit.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
