Hi! My name is McKenna Duffy and this year I have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study abroad in London! I am beyond excited to explore countries outside of the US and further my education beyond the US. As excited and grateful as I am for the opportunity, my school only covers so much. I will be on my own and unable to get a job while abroad due to visa restrictions.

Due to the late decision and other financial struggles happening throughout my family currently, I am worried about how I will keep myself afloat. I am currently working as many hours as I can on top of my current classes and applying to jobs daily to find a second job. My family and I can only do so much, and I would be beyond grateful for any amount that can be spared to help me while abroad. I have the opportunity to grow as a student and as a person, and I don’t want financial struggles holding me back from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Truly, any amount will be greatly appreciated and will be put to good use while abroad, helping me cover meals, excursions outside of London, and overall everyday living expenses.
