Hi, my name is Kialei, and I’m raising funds to help make my dream of studying abroad in Europe through the CIEE program possible this summer. Being accepted into this program means more to me than just traveling—it’s a chance to grow academically, experience new cultures firsthand, and gain independence in a way that can’t be taught in a classroom. I’ve always believed that learning comes from stepping outside of your comfort zone, and this opportunity would allow me to do exactly that.

While I am incredibly grateful to have been accepted, the cost of the program is a challenge. Despite working hard to prepare and exploring other funding options, I still need help covering program expenses such as tuition, housing, travel, and daily living costs. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean more to me than I can put into words. Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is just as appreciated.

Every bit of support helps bring me closer to an experience that would have a lasting impact on my education, personal growth, and future goals. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me in any way. I am truly grateful for all the kindness and encouragement.
