Hi, I'm Theo, and I'm launching this for my best friend. What follows is straight from her.

I'll be honest , I never really know how to do these things. But I'm doing it anyway because I believe in my online circle and I know you're real people who get it :)

I got accepted into a law program in France.

I'm Lebanese, and I come from a very restrictive family ,especially when it comes to women. Despite the misogyny, despite the unfairness at home, despite Lebanon and everything that comes with living here right now,I managed to keep going. I resumed my education, I put in the work, and I got the acceptance into law school.

I don't give up. That's just not who I am.

This opportunity means everything to me. It's my chance to finally live freely ,my thoughts, my independence, my expression, my sexuality ..... all of it on my own terms. And beyond myself, I genuinely hope that building this life gives me the platform to empower other women going through what I went through.

Why $5,000 : honest breakdown:

- Studies and fees: $1,800 : the program cost itself, non-negotiable

- Flight from Beirut: $500 one way, getting there is the first step

- Visa and paperwork: $500 the Lebanese visa process is not cheap or simple

- Housing deposit and first month: $650 required upfront before I even arrive

- Living costs while I settle: $500 food, transport, basics while I find my footing

- Buffer: $1,050unexpected costs, emergencies, and the reality of starting from zero in a new country. This is what keeps me from having one bad week and having to go back home

If you're a serious donor and want proof , I'm happy to share my acceptance letter privately/my application process ...... Just message Edu directly. I'm just being careful about public exposure for my own safety, I hope that makes sense.

If you can't donate, sharing it means just as much. Time is tight and every bit of momentum helps. Thank you to everyone who makes this real. I'm optimistic. SO MUCH LOVE AND APPRECIATION FOR EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS❤️❤️
