My Travel Story

by: Mia Gonzalez Start Date: Oct 8, 2025 - End Date: Feb 7, 2026
Hi! My name is Mia Gonzalez, and I’m a nursing student at the University of Texas at El Paso. This January, I’ll be studying abroad in Florence, Italy through the CIEE program at FAU and I’m raising funds to help make this dream possible!
I chose Florence because it’s a city full of history, art, and compassion and I believe that studying there will help me grow into a more understanding and well-rounded person while doing pre-nursing. I’ve always been passionate about helping people, and I see nursing as my way to do that, not just in hospitals, but across borders and cultures.
I’m currently working and saving everything I can, but studying abroad comes with extra costs like housing, meals, and travel. My goal is to raise $10,800 to cover the remaining program and living expenses.
Any donation, no matter the size, will directly support my education and help me take this next big step in becoming a compassionate global healthcare professional.
Thank you all so much for your kindness, generosity, and support in helping me make this dream a reality
