This year, instead of birthday or Christmas gifts, I’m asking for something more meaningful — contributions toward my dream of traveling through Europe after I graduate with my Master’s in Social Work in May 2026. The past few years have been some of the hardest and most transformative of my life. I’ve worked tirelessly — juggling grad school, full-time work in mental health, and my own journey of healing from trauma and rediscovering myself. Through it all, I’ve learned that growth doesn’t happen overnight — it happens through grace, grit, and faith in something bigger than yourself. My dream is to spend three weeks in Europe this upcoming summer — exploring Italy, Spain, Germany, and Ireland — as a celebration of how far I’ve come. It’s not just a trip; it’s a symbol of everything I’ve overcome, the peace I’ve fought for, and the next chapter I’m ready to begin. Every dollar will go directly toward flights, lodging, and travel experiences that will make this dream possible. Your support means more than I can ever put into words — it’s helping me turn years of hard work and healing into something beautiful. Thank you for believing in me and being part of my story!
