From Syria to Denver: Empowering Ali’s Education

Hello everyone,

My name is Ali Ayoub, and I am reaching out to you for your support. I have been given an incredible opportunity to attend the University of Denver with a full cost scholarship. This would allow me to pursue my passion for International Relations and Business Management and receive a top-notch education. However, the scholarship doesn't cover the expenses of obtaining a passport, visa, and plane ticket, which amount to around 2000 US dollars. Unfortunately, my parents' combined salaries are less than a 1000$ a year, and I cannot afford to cover these costs on my own.

Growing up in Dreikish, a small town in the countryside of Tartus, Syria, my access to education has been limited. But I have always been passionate about learning and eager to explore the world. Attending the University of Denver would be a life-changing experience for me and allow me to give back to my community in ways I never thought possible.

To make this dream a reality, I am launching this GoFundMe campaign to raise the necessary funds. I am setting a realistic fundraising goal of 2000 US dollars, and I promise to use these funds solely for the purpose of obtaining my passport, visa, and plane ticket. Your contribution, no matter how small, would make a huge difference to me.

Your contribution will not only help me to get a degree, but investing in my education is an investment in the mental well being of Syria's youth, both in diaspora and hopefully in Syria in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you in advance for any support that you can provide.
