Hello everyone,
Life has had its ups and downs, but through it all, I’ve kept moving forward with determination and faith. Recently, I received an incredible opportunity that could change the course of my legal career forever: I was accepted into the Lex Law Immersion Program in Milan, Italy for the summer of 2026!
From July 18 – July 31, 2026, I’ll be studying abroad with The Lex Fellowship, participating in an intensive pre-law program built in collaboration with law firms across the globe. This experience will allow me to:
Gain hands-on exposure to international legal environments
Stand out on my future law school applications
Build teamwork, leadership, and collaboration skills
Experience a new culture and broaden my perspective as a future lawyer
Unfortunately, the program cost is $6,499 (not including airfare), and I need to pay my deposit soon to secure my spot. I would have already covered it, BUT I recently had unexpected car repairs that cost me $1,389.45 — funds I had set aside for this very program.
That’s why I’m reaching out for your support. Any donation, no matter the size, will help me take a huge step closer to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if you can’t contribute financially, simply sharing my story with others means the world to me.
Studying abroad isn’t just about academics — it’s about growth, stepping outside my comfort zone, and preparing to make a lasting impact in the legal field. With your help, I can turn this dream into reality.
Thank you for believing in me and for supporting my journey to Milan!
With gratitude,
Organizer
