Hello, and thank you for reading further.

I’m a queer student from Lebanon who recently got accepted into a university program in Europe. This opportunity means a lot to me, it’s a chance for me to build a future where I can live authentically, safely and grow my career because I don’t have the opportunities here.

Coming from Lebanon, I’ve had to navigate an unstable economy, ongoing inflation, and a challenging political climate. The rising cost of living and limited opportunities, especially for young people, have made it increasingly difficult to plan for the future. While I’m proud of where I come from, the situation has made it harder to pursue education and personal growth without looking abroad for better chances.

The total tuition for my program is €24,000, and I’ll need around €600 per month for living expenses. I’ve already saved for my visa costs and plan to work part-time while studying, but I’m currently seeking support to help cover the full cost of my education and some of my living needs while I get settled.

I’m hoping to raise €30,000 ($40,000) to cover:

Tuition for the full program (€24,000)

Living expenses (€600/month)

Your support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this page, would make a meaningful difference.

Because I am in Lebanon, I can not withdraw these funds by myself. My partner has set this up for me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m truly grateful for any help you can offer.
