Support the AWC Scholarship Fund this Giving Tuesday!

Dear Members,

As we embrace the spirit of giving this holiday season, I’d like to share a heartwarming encounter that reminded me of the incredible impact of generosity and community.

Last week, I posted a free bed on Blocket, and a young American student studying Performing Arts in Stockholm reached out to pick up the mattress. When I asked about the bed, she shared that transportation was a challenge, and she didn’t know anyone with a car. Upon delivering it to her apartment, I saw her humble living space – an empty room with a mattress on the floor, highlighting the unique struggles she faces as a student away from home.

Despite the challenges, she expressed gratitude for living her dream of studying in Sweden. Her determination, even traveling across town on the bus with a mattress, left a lasting impression on me.

This Giving Tuesday, I’m reaching out on behalf of the American Women’s Club of Stockholm to seek your support for the AWC Jessie Lokrantz Scholarship, benefiting American women studying in Sweden.

To kickstart our efforts, I’ll be donating 500kr to give back to our community. I invite you to join me in supporting an American student in Sweden to pursue their dreams. Contribute by making a donation to Bank-giro no. 5923-4674 , and rest assured it will be allocated to the scholarship account.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, gratitude, and abundance.

Sincerely,

Shannon Lövgren, AWC Fundraising Director
