ALL-IN support for Elliot's progress to undergrad study

Hey I'm Elliot, welcome to the new official sponsorship website on GoFundme! I've been called to the near impossible field of youth work - with your help I will be engaging in early years and youth to beat barriers, believe in themselves and build positive futures.

It is a mandatory requirement for degree level study to assist and effectively befriend survivors of trauma and cruel circumstances. This is what I aim to accomplish and this is a science; that depends on the Word of God and power of God's holy spirit - who doesn't define people by vocation but through the cross. "Faith begins where man’s power ends." - George Muller, director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England.

I'm asking for your foundation to grow into leading projects at a hospital or prison whilst working with RNLI - Lifeboats. I wish to direct a project called Genesis Jesus to equip churches to respond to cases with better information. Think 'the message trust'.

Starting life in Oxford, United Kingdom in my late teens I worked in business involving catering and hospitality including 4 years at a high-end supermarket retailer during Covid-19. During which time; a visiting customer expressed his discontentment with 'hidden harms' such as county lines and grooming gangs at around 2011 in Oxfordshire - little did this man know - He was talking to me. Someone who had seen first hand such low-pointed life ambushes, storms and circuses affect the brain and the nervous system responses. However, it has been by the transformational power through the storms with the convictions of significant key workers. So that I found Jesus and the relentless grace of God. That was how the moment led me to the desire to work on supporting families and I have gone from developing personal strength and obedience to growing into a servant hearted leader. Lifeguarding for the council for as of now 2 years and volunteering as a youth worker in Blackbird Leys.

My indestructible passion is to be a helping hand to young children and adults facing crisis.

I wish to join many first in the family college graduates. A choice to take on the challenge of academic study in an applied field means that I will be embarking on a common route into working with families through undertaking higher education at level 6. I already have confirmed entry and a qualification ensures not only will I get a taste of high standard effectual care provision, but also I will utilise the skills I develop in a setting during a meaningful placement.

The institution I have chosen is Moorlands college in the south of England near to the town of Bournemouth. Beginning Sep 2025, this institution values respect, humility and integrity, which aligns with my independent way of thinking. Plus - I will engage in the specialism of applied theology - youth and community work, accredited by the University of Gloucester - resulting in a solid bachelor's with honours and a joint negotiating committee badge - which in summary means that I would be qualified to work with youngsters.

The funds raised will be used to cover my college expenses

When I looked at the amount of money that college undergraduate study costs in the UK - nearly £10k per year - I searched for apprenticeships and volunteering routes but I saw that only a college route creates a framework of usability and standardisation that demonstrates my story - from being a homeless runaway abuse survivor to a champion of the chaperone. Doing this alone, is not possible. I simply need your support to fund this goal.

I need your faithful encouragement
