Hey Everyone!

My name is Mariana, I'm Mexican born and raised, I'm 23 years old and right now I'm at the end of obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Marketing.

On February of 2016 I got the opportunity to Study Abroad one semester in Czech Republic, this has been by far one of the best experiences I've had in my life. There I met one amazing person who changed my world forever, my currently boyfriend a french dude that's super amazing.

Later on October of 2016 I got the amazing news that I became selected among thousands of applicants to study postgraduate studies abroad in one of the best 200 Universities of the World. I was so excited, all I've worked in my life, the sacrifice of my parents to make sure i received the best was finally giving results.

But unfortunately at the same time, we got the news that my dad had cancer, he passed away on november of 2016; I was devasted, he worked so hard to make my sisters and me the succesful persons we wanted to be.

After his death my life changed completely, the government and institutions remove all help from us, so me, my mom and sisters have to struggle to fight and get the help we deserve for right.

The main purpose of this fundraising campaign is get help to pay a trip to France for me, to see my boyfriend one more time, to visit the university I plan to attend for my masters degree, to get in touch more and more with the french culture, to practice my french -which is not very good at the time- and obtain the opportunity to work there, find a job or an internship there and help myself pay my studies and the cost-living in France.

Sometimes I found myself hesitating of my ability to work hard, I get angry because I feel there are a lot of barriers to stop completing my dreams.

Now I ask for your help, if you're a person that believes in love, in distance relationships and multicultural love please help me get another chance to see him.

Love, Mariana.
