Hey everyone! 

My name is Natalie Adkisson, I’m currently a sophomore at Texas State studying Physical Therapy, and have recently gotten the opportunity to study abroad in France during May of 2026! 

As many of you probably know, I’ve had a pretty rough start to college with my dad passing away my freshman year. While that year was especially hard, and still continues to be tough, this opportunity can bring a positive note for the start of 2026. I created this GoFundme in search of some financial help and advice on Studying Abroad as a college student. 

I thought I’d share some insight on what exactly your donations would let me learn throughout this once in a lifetime experience. With this opportunity, I’d be given the chance to visit one of the top leading nations in health care to learn more about the future of medicine. Not only does this opportunity give me the chance to work alongside professionals to help make digital health more convenient and adaptable for the future but also lets me travel to a side of the world I have never seen before. Taking on this experience would allow me to follow my academic and career aspirations, as well as give me a chance to grow in ways I haven’t ever before. 

With this once in a lifetime opportunity, I kindly ask if you'd be willing to support my travels with a donation or words of advice/encouragement. Your kindness, big or small, could make a huge difference as anything helps! If you’re not able to donate you can still help me by sharing my link. I am incredibly grateful and very appreciative, thank you!! Merci !!
