Hello! My name is Steven (it is the name I go by), I am 16 years old, and I'm from Spain. I've always loved writing, art, and storytelling, and I dream of turning this passion into a career. I'm planning on studying creative writing at a college or school abroad since I'm more skilled in English writing than in Spanish. But as you can imagine, pursuing this dream comes with significant costs...

Currently, I'm completing my studies in A-levels in English, Travel and Tourism, and Art, and in the Spanish System I'm doing Selectividad courses in Geography, Historia del Arte, and Lengua/Spanish Literature. I originally planned to do Drama instead of T&T, but unfortunately, it was canceled, so I've focused on these subjects that support my creative and cultural development.

I'm raising funds to cover tution, housing, living expenses, and study materials—basically the costs of going to any school without putting too much financial strain on my family, especially my father, who has done so much for me already.

Even small contributions are greatly appreciated, and even just sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, or anyone who loves supporting young artists would mean the world to me. I also plan to keep everyone updated with my writing, projects, and progress as I pursue this path.

I'm also actively working on to contribute toward my education in these ways:

I'm planning on publishing my own books on Amazon, with earnings going directly toward school and living costs. (you can message me on my email if you are interested and I'll fill you in)

I'm on Character Hub (Character Hub)-(Account name: LaddyMcFarty) where I offer commissions for drawings or small writing pieces—poems, short stories, letters, and more. You can message me there for custom creative work. I also post my story worlds, drafts, characters, and teasers for my books so you can be engaged, whilt I build my creative portfolio.

Eventhough I'm asking for help now, I'm actively trying to contribute and take steps toward supporting myself. Your support will make it possible for me to grow as a writer and artist, and build a future in the creative world. Thank you so, so much!

With gratitude,

Steven
