Hi, I’m Sylvia. Many of you may know me, but others might not. So, let’s go through a little introduction.

I am a recent graduate of Cleveland State University. I graduated with the highest honors, a 3.95 GPA, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology with a minor in Nonprofit Administration. The harsh reality is that a bachelor's degree isn’t opening doors for me, meaning that working 3 jobs is the only thing getting me by. I’m working every second of every day to make sure I’m saving enough money to get to Germany.

Luckily, I was admitted to the University of Cologne! I will be entering the Master's program in Sociology and Social Research. Best of all, tuition is free! I am asking you, my friends, and my family to help give me and Charliee a boost to move there. This will be me and her third big adventure; I cannot imagine a day going by without her. She will be the perfect companion to explore a new place with!

I’m raising $5,000 to cover my move, Charliee's move, and maybe some of my initial rent payments. Please consider supporting me and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
