Help Jorge finish his degree in Australia
Donation protected
Hello everyone! As you may or may not know my name is Jorge and I am an international student from Venezuela, currently studying a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Curtin University in Perth.
Due to the harsh sociopolitical and economic state of affairs in my home country, I am in need of support to help me go through my last year of studies and following my passion, psychological studies.
All my efforts toward my degree are currently in jeopardy, as well as my personal safety in the event of me having to return to Venezuela; since my home country is undergoing one of the worst socioeconomical crises in recent times. The country is experiencing hyperinflation with figures expected to reach 1000% this year, extreme levels of poverty and violence, scarcity of basic supplies such as food and medicines, and ongoing political instability with potential for foreign intervention due to its severity and impact both domestically and internationally. Therefore I would barely be able to survive and to develop my full potential under the current circumstances.
So, I am reaching out to friends and whomever feels like giving me a hand to follow my dream of becoming a psychologist and contribute to society and people's lives whilst being able to do so in such a beautiful place I have had the honour to call home for the past few years, Australia.
If you are not familiar with the situation in Venezuela, below you will find some informative links to hopefully illustrate it better.
