I love my mom, but I'm chasing a dream she can't afford.

I love my mom.

She is strong, kind and has given me all she could , even when she had so little. She's my home, my heart and my biggest comfort.

But there's something I've never told her out loud: I want to study abroad. I want to travel , learn , grow and chase a dream that feels bigger than my village , my neighbourhood or even my country.

The hard part ? My mom can't afford it. And that breaks something in me. Because I know she would give me the world if she could, but love doesn't always come with money.

That's why I'm writing this. Not because I'm ungrateful but because I'm hopeful. I joined World Pulse to share my truth ask: Is there a woman out there who believes in girls like me?

Someone who knows what it feels like to want more, even when your family can't give it. Someone who might one day say, " I see you. Let me help."

I believe in women lifting women. I believe someone out there may read this and remember being just like me , full of dreams, but no money to chase them.

If that's you ..... thank you.

And if no one reads this, that's okay too. Because I still believe. And won't stop chasing my dream, even if I have to run alone.

I'm a girl with love in her heart and a dream in her hands.
