Hi friends, family, and community. I’ve recently completed my MA here in the UK, something I’m incredibly proud of and deeply grateful for. I’m currently working, but my income is only covering my basic cost of living. In order to move into full time work, take on freelance opportunities, and officially begin building my fashion brand, I need to secure my UK Graduate Visa. This visa is essential for me to move forward. Without it, I’m limited in the work I can accept and unable to fully step into the career I’ve spent years working toward. With it, I can begin working full time, accept creative and freelance projects, and start building a sustainable future rooted in my education and values.

The visa application and required fees are unfortunately very high, and covering them while supporting myself simply isn’t possible right now. This visa is the final barrier between me and being able to move out of survival mode and into stability and growth. If you’re looking for a Christmas gift or a graduation gift, I would be so grateful if you’d consider donating directly to this fundraiser. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps turn this moment of transition into real momentum. Thank you so much for reading, sharing, and supporting me in this next chapter. Your generosity and belief in me truly mean everything.

With love and gratitude, Laura
