Support Sofia’s Educational Journey to Florence, Italy

Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out to you with great excitement and a touch of nervousness as I embark on a life-changing journey this summer. I have been presented with a unique opportunity to participate in a study abroad program in Florence, Italy, from June 23 to August 5, as part of my curriculum at the University of Southern Florida, Tampa.

This trip holds immense significance for me as it will be my first time experiencing a different culture firsthand. I am eager to immerse myself in the rich Italian culture, explore the enchanting region of Florence, and enhance my education in a global context. The program includes intensive Italian language courses, which will not only deepen my understanding of the language but also foster meaningful connections with the local community.

Beyond the language aspect, I will also be pursuing courses related to my field of study in Social Work. This experience will provide me with invaluable insights into global social issues, diverse perspectives, and innovative approaches to addressing community challenges.

However, embarking on this journey comes with financial challenges. The cost of the program, travel expenses, accommodation, and living costs add up significantly. That's why I am reaching out to you for support. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in helping me achieve this dream.

By supporting my GoFundMe campaign, you are not just helping fund a trip; you are investing in my education, personal growth, and future aspirations. Your generosity will be remembered and cherished as I navigate this transformative experience.

Thank you for considering supporting me on this journey. Your encouragement and belief in me mean the world.

Thank you for your support,

Sofia Parra
