Hello! My name is Karen and I am a dedicated college student attending a CUNY in NYC, I am excited about the opportunity to study abroad in Madrid, Spain, for the upcoming fall semester. To support my living and food expenses while in Europe, I plan to launch a fundraising campaign through a combination of online crowdfunding platforms and local community events. By sharing my academic goals, cultural aspirations, and the transformative impact this experience will have on my education and personal growth, I hope to garner support from friends, family, and community members. Additionally, I intend to reach out to local businesses and organizations for sponsorships and seek out relevant scholarships and grants that can help alleviate some of the financial burdens.
