Hi! My name is Mahmudul Chowdhury: I am a neurodivergent, suffering from dyslexia and chronic anxiety. I am a recent graduate and, although I was born in Tokyo, Japan, I have been living in the UK for the last 21 years.

The Urgency:

Usually i never used any online platforms before as i quietly dealt with things by myself. However, since this is so urgent and time sensitive, i thought i would share my plea with a beacon of hope.

I am writing to ask to consider helping me with financial support for my upcoming Private life visa applications to stay in the UK. I am striving to get the balance fees from working at cafe shop while i actively looking for my graduate job.

Your support can make a significant difference in ensuring I meet this deadline 2nd of January 2024.

My Standard application fee: £1048

NHS surcharge fee: £1560

Total Sum: £2608

If i can obtain this visa, I would subsequently be able to apply for permanent settled residency, significantly improving my job prospects as well as providing access to public funds.

My Journey

I would like to emphasize that i am looking for a "handup" rather than a "handout". Throughout my lived experiences, I have learned to conquer obstacles and discover my self made Herculean resilience in the midst of difficulties.

Over the years of my time in the UK, i have had to endure homelessness, sleeping on night buses and being bullied. . Without access to public funds, it has put me on egg and chicken situation. Whilst sleeping rough, i volunteered for 5 months at London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics in the Flag Handover ceremonies Production. I remained steadfast in my altruistic, sacrifice and dedication to making a positive impact in the community at various capacities as an unsung hero todate. As a result of my volunteering at the Rio 2016 Olympics in the Athletes Village out of my comfort zone, i was honoured with the Duke Of Edinburgh Diamond Challenge Award in 2016

Despite my circumstances, I have also sought to continue my education to enhance my job prospects. I was successfull in my application to the Quentin Hogg Trust for a scholarship, resulting in my achieving a MSc degree in International Development Management. A testament to my commitment to personal growth and progress.

I will be starting a new voluntary role as a mentor for children 8-11 years old before Christmas this year until next December 2024. My aim is to be an architect in shaping positive minds of these young individuals encouraging them to develop confidence, courage and self esteem through my own lived experiences, and to use their perspectives in creating future leaders.

This will have a positive impact on early childhood development interventions, one child at a time.

Your Impact

In this time sensitive pursuit, i would like to humbly request your generous assistance. Your contribution regardless of the amount will be a life line for me. Not only will assist me in renewing my visa application, but also will help me amplify the ripple impact of positivity that i strive to create.

I am reminded that we all need a helping hand to move forward. Your generosity is not only an investment in my future , but also in the future of those i aspire to inspire.

I hope that you could see supporting me as more of an investment than a gift.
