Dear Friends and Family,

I am Qadira Muhammad, and I am a college senior majoring in political science. I am off to another study abroad before I graduate, this time in May to El Camino de Santiago in Spain through my university. The Camino is a major pilgrimage that people from all over the world walk along for intensive inner reflection and spiritual growth. I am taking this opportunity to connect closer to God and seek within myself what He has next for me, since I am closing a chapter of my life. I will walk miles every day, with only what I can carry in a backpack, and I will have the opportunity to meet individuals from all walks of life (pun intended), as we journey together. As such, this study abroad is unusual, because I will need specific equipment before I go. 

Through a scholarship and financial aid, I have covered the preliminary expenses for the trip. However, I still desperately need most of my equipment and spending money for food, emergency money, and so forth.

I would greatly appreciate your support by direct donation or by sponsoring a piece of equipment I will need for the pilgrimage. If you can support this trip, please donate by Friday, April 19th. This will give me sufficient time to order remaining equipment.

If you have any questions, you can contact me at (570)856-3539 or at [email protected].

You may also send money via Zelle or CashApp ($QMuhamm). Thank you!
