As most of you already know, I have been sponsoring Nicoleta since 2014. Sponsorship means that I have been sending money to her each month to help her with any of her needs. When she turned 15, we were able to get her into a program in Chisinau so she could continue her education. So, for the last three years, she has been working to become a teacher. Unfortunately, the program she was in only lasts three years. She graduated from the program this past July. The organization told me they would support her for another year to complete her teaching program. Two weeks ago, I was informed that the organization would not be able to support her because they only had 3 slots available and 7 girls graduated, and Nicoleta was on her own. The worst thing about this decision is that she is 1 year away from being able to support herself as a teacher.

Not only was I upset about this decision, but it also left us with very little time to get her ready for school, which starts in September. She found a 2-bedroom apartment 30 minutes from school and will share rent with a roommate. She estimates that she can live on $500 US dollars per month and school will cost $500 for the year. I am looking for some financial assistance to help Nicoleta get through this year. I have started a GoFundMe account with the total needed for the year. Though I can also just get Venmo monthly. You can just tell me that you can support her for 12 months and send $10 a month or whatever you feel is good. I appreciate all that you are willing to do to help her!
