<div><strong>Hi, my name is Seef, and I’m fundraising to complete my dream: becoming a commercial airline pilot.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After years of hard work and personal growth, I was accepted into CAE — one of Europe’s top flight schools — and I’m now in the final stretch of my training. I’ve successfully completed all of my ground school theory exams, and the only thing standing between me and a commercial pilot license is the final flight training phase in the United States.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, I’ve hit a financial wall.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My bank granted me a €96,000 student loan — out of the total €116,000 training cost — but due to a contract change between the school and the bank, accommodation and living expenses for the U.S. phase are no longer covered. That leaves me short by about <strong>€20,000</strong> on training costs. On top of that, I’ll need approximately <strong>€12,000</strong> to cover rent, local transport, and basic living expenses during my stay in Arizona — making the total amount I’m trying to raise <strong>€32,000</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve tried everything: requested a loan extension, applied elsewhere — but every road led to a dead end. I don’t come from money, and giving up now would mean walking away from the career I’ve worked so hard to build.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not asking for luxury — just a safe place to stay and the ability to finish what I started. Once I graduate, I already have strong job prospects lined up, and I’m confident I’ll soon be flying for a European airline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe in second chances, in grit, or simply in helping someone lift off — I’m asking for your support.<strong> Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to the flight deck.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Thank you for being part of this journey.</em>
</div>
<div><em>– Seef</em>

<div><strong>Hallo, mijn naam is Seef en ik start deze inzamelactie om mijn droom waar te maken: commercieel lijnpiloot worden.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Na jaren van hard werken en persoonlijke groei werd ik toegelaten tot CAE — één van de beste vliegscholen van Europa — en ik bevind me nu in de allerlaatste fase van mijn opleiding. Ik heb alle theorievakken met succes afgerond, en het enige wat mij nog scheidt van mijn commerciële vliegbrevet is de laatste praktijkfase in de Verenigde Staten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Helaas ben ik op een financieel obstakel gestuit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mijn bank heeft een studielening van €96.000 toegekend — terwijl de volledige opleiding €116.000 kost. Door een contractwijziging tussen de school en de bank worden de verblijfskosten en kosten van levensonderhoud in de VS niet langer meegefinancierd. Hierdoor kom ik ongeveer <strong>€20.000</strong> tekort voor de trainingskosten. Daarnaast heb ik naar schatting nog eens <strong>€12.000</strong> nodig om huur, lokaal vervoer en basislevensonderhoud in Arizona te kunnen betalen. In totaal probeer ik dus <strong>€32.000</strong> op te halen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik heb werkelijk alles geprobeerd: een leningverhoging aangevraagd, andere financieringskanalen onderzocht — maar elke weg liep dood. Ik kom uit een bescheiden achtergrond, en nu opgeven zou betekenen dat ik de carrière waar ik zo hard voor heb gevochten, moet laten vallen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik vraag geen luxe — enkel een veilige plek om te verblijven en de mogelijkheid om mijn opleiding af te maken.
</div>
<div>Zodra ik afstudeer, heb ik al sterke werkvooruitzichten, en ik ben ervan overtuigd dat ik binnenkort als piloot in Europa aan de slag zal gaan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Als je gelooft in tweede kansen, in doorzettingsvermogen, of gewoon in het helpen van iemand die wil opstijgen — dan vraag ik om jouw steun.
</div>
<div><strong>Elke bijdrage, hoe klein ook, brengt mij één stap dichter bij de cockpit.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Bedankt dat je deel wilt uitmaken van deze reis.</em>
</div>
<div><em>– Seef</em>
