Help Germaine Finish His Dream

My name is Germaine Brown. I'm originally from Raleigh, North Carolina. I've always had a deep commitment to academics and football. I played football at Presentation College in South Dakota while getting my bachelor's in human services. It's always been my dream to study aboard and play football internationally since I was 5 years old. The day I picked up the football I never looked back. Shockingly near the end of my undergrad I got messaged by the University of West of England to further my educational career and play football for the university. This is a dream come true, I got accepted into Business Psychology Master's Program and given the opportunity to play on the best college football team in the United Kingdom. Since being there we won the National Championship, which made my family especially proud of my accomplishment and drive to never give up on my dreams. I have been there since the end 2023 completing my course and I'm also most done. I have to finish 4 classes and I'm 90% done with my dissertation. My dissertation is on how being involved in sports can translate to having a successful business career. I've collected great data, and I just want to able finish my degree and walk the stage in June 2025. I didn't know my Fasfa student aid didn't come through and now I owe the University of west of England 6,000 for my courses. Also, my visa expires by Jan 25th, 2025, which is in a month. I have to pay 1600 for my UK Student Visa extension so I can finish my course.

I just don't want this small amount of money to stop me from finishing out my course because I'm so close to accomplishing my goals. Coming from a minoritized family ,opportunities like this do not come around often.

I want to make a change in the world and open my own communtity resource center to help people in need.

I am so close to being done and my family and professors are rooting for me. I just need a little extra financial help so I can pay for my visa and pay the balance so I can cotinine my course. It expires in a month so anybody looking to help me finish my dream in the UK studying aboard and playing football would be much appreciated. Looking forward to finishing my master's course and winning another championship for the University of west of England.

Any donations will help me get closer to my dream.

Thank for listening to my story and I look forward to getting back next month and accomplishing my goals!! https://www.uwe.ac.uk/
