This GoFundMe has been created in attempt to reach out to family, friends, and community rallying support for my higher education within Study Abroad. I’ll be attending a course this June in London and Edinburgh, Scotland fully based on Law and Government. Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine, and now that dream is close to becoming a reality. I have earned the incredible opportunity to not only participate, but deepen my understanding of global politics, law, and leadership.

My long-term goal is to become a lawyer that transitions to a congresswoman committed to advocating for marginalized communities while working to strengthen and improve our country. Experiences like this are an important step toward that future. By learning about government systems, history, and policy in an international setting, I will gain a valuable perspective that will help shape the leader I aspire to become. I created this GoFundMe to ask for support with the costs associated with the program.

Donations will help cover airfare, travel expenses, course materials, and additional costs not included in the program fees.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings me closer to making the most of this life-changing experience. Your support will allow me to focus fully on learning, growing, and taking advantage of every opportunity this program offers. To everyone considering donating, I sincerely thank you for your generosity and belief in my journey. This experience means the world to me, and your support will contribute to doors and opportunities that will shape my future. I look forward to sharing my journey and what I learn along the way with all of you.

Thank you for believing in me.

- Sincerely,

Emerald Alford
