Help Loic stay and pursue his studies in the U.S

Hello, friends! 

I hope you’re having an amazing day! Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my story—it truly means the world to me. 

My name is Loic Lagarde. I was born and raised in France, but I always dreamed of something greater, something beyond the borders of my home country. Two years ago, I moved to the United States on an F1 student visa, full of hope and determination. I believed that with hard work and faith, I could build a future here. However, reality has been much harder than I anticipated. 

Despite my efforts—working on my college campus, searching for sponsorships, and doing everything in my power to stay—I have hit a dead end. My expectations have been overshadowed by financial hardship. Every day, I have lived by faith, trusting that God would provide for tomorrow. Now, I am facing the heartbreaking reality that in just a few months, I may have to return to the very place my ambitions once called me away from. 

My family, who is here on a different visa than mine, is also struggling. Every month, we fall short by $1,500 just to cover rent. Over the past two years, despite my own struggles, I have remained committed to serving others. I have faithfully served at my church, giving my time and energy without expecting anything in return. My heart has always been to help others, but now, I find myself in a place where I need help. 

To continue my education and stay in the United States, I need to raise $25,000. This is an overwhelming amount, but I believe in miracles. Your support—no matter how big or small—would be life-changing. It would be the difference between seeing my dreams continue or having to leave them behind. 

I ask that you would believe with me. If you feel led to give, know that your generosity will not only impact my life but also my family’s. Thank you for reading my story, for considering helping, and for standing with me in faith. May God bless you and all that you have worked for! 

“Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me.”


Matthew 25:40 

With deepest gratitude,


Loic Lagarde
