Support Shakira to graduate on her last year in college

Hello, my name is Shakira, and I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt request for support.

I am about to enter my senior year at Furman University, where I am pursuing a major in Studio Art focusing on the pre-Medical Illustration track. This program has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, combining my passion for art with my interest in the medical field to create detailed and educational illustrations.

However, I am facing a significant financial challenge that threatens to derail my academic journey. They want me to solve my situation by noon on 8/26. As a rising senior, I need to cover the remaining balance of my tuition fees. Without this funding, Furman University will be forced to withdraw me from all my classes, jeopardizing my ability to complete my degree.

I have worked tirelessly to get to this point—balancing part-time jobs, scholarships, and student loans. Despite my efforts, I am still short of the funds needed to pay off my balance. This final year is crucial not only for completing my coursework but also for fulfilling my graduation requirements and stepping into the professional world of medical illustration.

Your support would mean the world to me. It would allow me to continue my education, graduate on time, and pursue a career that I am deeply passionate about. The funds raised will go directly toward paying off my tuition balance and ensuring that I can stay enrolled in my classes.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to achieving my dream. I am incredibly grateful for any support you can provide, and I promise to pay it forward by using my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in the world.

Thank you for considering my request and for helping me my dream to reality.

With heartfelt thanks,

Shakira
