Greetings John!

I am currently studying law in Italy with other Colorado State University (CSU) pre-law students as we prepare for law school. As you know, college is expensive with studying abroad being even more costly. I am writing to you to give you an opportunity to invest in my law career. I seek donations to help with the $8,800 I have spent out-of-pocket already for this class. Your financial help would mean more than just the monetary value. It shows that you support me as I try to make America a better place to live on my trajectory to become a federal criminal prosecutor.

The Summer course I am currently taking in Italy is Comparative Legal Studies. I am with 12 other CSU students who are mostly receiving financial aid. I am not receiving any financial aid as the VA will not pay for studying abroad. This course fulfills 3 upper-level credits in the pre-law program, which prepares CSU students to enter any tier 1 law school, as I intend to do after graduating from CSU.

Currently in this course, we are studying Italian law, Canon/Vatican law, International law, and Mafia law while performing in-depth comparative analysis on those and U.S. law. We have already had lectures taught by lawyers in Florence and by attorneys of Canon law (only 32 worldwide) and the Vatican Court (received this lecture in the Vatican courtroom).

Thank you for your consideration as this class has cost me 1/3 of all my savings. Please send your support directly to CSU or GoFundMe and any monies left will go to my Fall semester. If you are concerned about the U.S. legal system as I am, this is your chance to support direct change, as my central goal is to improve our American justice system!
