My Travel Story

I have always been into fashion and created my clothing out of thrifted items my mom gave to me. She sparked my creativity and has always been a strong and supportive single mother. She supported my journey and helped me get a scholarship to Marist College in Florence Italy. It is only partial and I am struggling to afford school itself. I desire to major in fashion merchandising and persue my dream. I need to be able to support her and myself when I travel. I can't afford Italy on my own and I hate asking for help but I need it. I have to afford groceries in my apartment and simple transportation. The basics and I can't lean on my mom as she has lost her job. She needs my help and I hate to feel like a burden. I have been tirelessly working and it isn't enough. Please anything helps :) Here are some pictures of Florence from the Marist Italy Instagram and a link to their website
