<div>Hi, my name is Valentina, and I am a first-generation college student pursuing an International Business degree through a unique triple-degree program that will take me to two countries over the next two years. This year, I have the incredible opportunity to spend ten months studying in Rome, Italy—a dream that has been years in the making.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This opportunity is so much more than studying abroad. It is an opportunity to grow academically, professionally, and personally while experiencing a new culture and preparing for the career I hope to build in international business.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since February, I have been working as much as possible and saving nearly everything I earn to make this dream a reality. I have applied for financial aid, searched for scholarships, and made sacrifices to prepare financially. While I have been blessed to save a significant amount, the cost of living abroad for ten months—including groceries, transportation, school-related expenses, and other daily necessities—still exceeds what I can afford on my own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a Christian, I also believe God has placed a burden on my heart for Europe. While my primary purpose in Rome is to faithfully complete this year of my degree, I hope to live intentionally by finding a local church, learning Italian, building meaningful relationships, and sharing the love of Christ through everyday conversations and acts of service. I don't know exactly what opportunities God will provide, but I want to be available wherever He leads.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel led to support me financially, your generosity will directly help cover the essential costs of living while I complete this year of my education. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps lighten the financial burden and allows me to focus on stewarding this opportunity well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're unable to give, I completely understand. Your prayers mean just as much to me. I would be grateful if you prayed that God would provide financially, guide my studies, help me find a Christ-centered community in Rome, and use my time there for His glory. (Also, if you have any connections in Rome, that would also really help me out. Looking for a part-time job and a home church!) 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering being part of this journey. I look forward to sharing updates throughout the year and showing how your encouragement and support have made a lasting impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Valentina
</div>
