Hello,
I am reaching out today with a heavy heart and a plea for help. Everything I say is from the bottom of my heart and is a result of hard work, hope, resilience, and an unwavering desire to make a huge difference in my educational journey.
My name is Sarah, and I am an international student pursuing my studies in Montpellier, France at the Université Paul Valery in the French language with the aim of continuing as an undergraduate student in Applied Foreign Languages. The opportunity to study at this university has been nothing but a dream come true.
I am always impressed and in awe when I meet a person who speaks more than two foreign languages. My interest in languages began four years ago when I got the opportunity to travel to Côte d’Ivoire Abidjan where I learned to speak French. From then on I was inspired. I began working on my language skills in order to improve, and have started learning a bit of the Spanish language because it is one of the languages I would like to study at the university. To me, learning a language is a way of being expressive and creative, and every time I learn a new language I feel unique in my own way as well as a sense of accomplishment. I have registered for French courses at the Université Paul Valery Montpellier 3, which will begin in September 2023. This course is useful to me as it will enable me to access my dream course as an undergraduate student in Applied Foreign Languages.
I lost my mother when I was barely a year old, and in 2017, my father passed away, leaving my aunt with the daunting responsibility of raising my sisters and me. She has made tremendous sacrifices and contributions to my studies in France. Losing both parents was a big blow for me, but I have managed to put myself through school because I believe in myself. My ultimate goal is to become a qualified linguist. In order to keep my dreams alive, I have applied for student jobs both in-person and virtually, as well as online tutoring jobs but with no success due to some roadblocks in getting a social security number. The thought of not being able to continue my studies haunts me all the time and has led to depression.
Amidst all of my despair, I still believe there is hope for me to keep this dream alive. I am reaching out to you today, humbly asking for any assistance you can provide to help me raise € 40,000. The funds I receive will be allocated towards tuition, rent, textbooks, and other essential supplies for three years and four months. I genuinely appreciate your support and any contribution, no matter how small, will have an enormous impact on my life and provide me with the opportunity to pursue my goals.
I am sincerely grateful for taking the time to read my plea and consider helping me during this difficult time. Your compassion and generosity will not only help me get a grip on this hurdle but will also give me hope to move forward and make a bright future for myself. Right now, I only have € 4 in my account and my next month’s rent is due. I am desperate and hoping for any assistance.
