<div>Dear GoFundMe Community,
</div>
<div>This fundraiser was created solely to support my friend’s daughter, Athina — a talented young artist from Greece — and help her achieve her dream of studying Fashion Design in Milan, Italy.
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, GoFundMe does not yet support fundraisers hosted directly in Greece, which is why I am organizing this on her behalf.All funds raised will be transferred to her bank account in Greece to support her dream. Please, take a moment to read her story in her own words below.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello GoFundMe community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Athina, I’m 18 years old, and I’ve just been accepted to study Fashion Design at Instituto Marangoni in Milan, Italy — a dream I’ve been working toward for years!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, I’m facing serious financial challenges, and unless I can raise the funds to cover my first-year tuition of €22,000  I won’t be able to enroll in classes in  September 2026.
</div>
<div>In addition to tuition, there will be living expenses and essential course materials, so any support beyond the tuition goal will also go a long way in helping me succeed during my time in Milan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This opportunity means the world to me. Fashion has always been more than just a passion — it’s how I express myself, connect with others, and dream about building a future where I can create, inspire, and contribute to the industry I love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If I had to describe my work, I’d call it organizational — centered around singular sensibilities like repetition and symmetry, with slick, clear lines and a focused, minimalist aesthetic. My work is also deeply personal: it’s a manifestation of my autism, reflecting the condition’s unique tendencies toward repetition and pattern. I see these traits not as limitations, but as powerful creative tools — ones that help me bring precision, consistency, and originality into everything I design.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve uploaded a video on youtube (you can watch it by copying and pasting the link into your browser) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/</a></a>@Athinak_K
</div>
<div>showcasing some of my work from a recent exhibition— I hope it gives you a glimpse into my creative vision and the dedication I bring to this craft.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every single donation, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to turning this dream into reality. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing my story — it truly makes a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your time, your generosity, and your belief in me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Athina
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Update (August 31st, 2025)</strong>: Good news! Instituto Marangoni gave me an extension on the payment deadline until September 15.
</div>
