Vitoria Mario is a self-described “young Black 18-year-old with a dream” on her GoFundMe page, in which she sought help to pay for her university tuition. Fortunately, Taylor Swift was there to help her fans in need.
“I have offered a condition to study mathematics (MMath) at the prestigious University of Warwick,” Mario wrote, before noting that she was “in a position of uncertainty because I might not be able to go to university. follow because of my circumstances. “
“I have been living in the UK for 4 years now after migrating from Portugal to live with family in Tottenham,” she continued. “The socio-economic barriers to not being eligible for maintenance loans / subsidies are not only due to ‘home’ not ‘status’, but also because my family is low income, and unable to support myself through to help university. “
It appears that Swift came across the site, and donated the remaining amount to reach Mario’s goal, a little over $ 30,000, according to Folk. “Vitoria, I came across your story online and am so inspired by your drive and dedication to turn your dreams into reality. I want to give you the rest of your target amount. Good luck with everything you do! Love, Taylor, the pop star commented next to her donation.
