Help an International Student Cover Emergency Medical Costs

Donation protected
I came to Canada with hopes of building a better future through education, hard work, and opportunity. Unfortunately, my life changed in an instant after a serious motor vehicle accident in Niagara Falls.

I crashed face-first into the curb and sustained severe facial injuries due to this accident, including a broken eye orbital bone, a broken nose, a fractured jaw, and major dental injuries.

I am currently at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, receiving life-saving treatment and preparing for multiple critical reconstructive facial surgeries needed to restore my ability to see, eat, and swallow normally. At this time, I am in the ICU, trying to cope with the physical pain, emotional stress, and the reality of a long recovery ahead.

The total medical cost of my treatment has been estimated at over $70,000 (current fundraising goal: $40,000). As a recent graduate on a student visa, I was in the process of applying for a work permit so I can support myself, but this accident happened before I had any health insurance or financial security in place. These medical expenses are far beyond what I can afford on my own.

Being away from family during such a difficult time has made this even more overwhelming. Without immediate family support here, I am facing this journey feeling deeply isolated and uncertain.

I am humbly asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time. All funds raised will go directly toward my medical treatment, surgeries, and recovery expenses, so I can focus fully on healing. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a tremendous difference in my life. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also mean so much to me.

In addition to financial support, your prayers, kind words, and encouragement would mean the world to me. Your generosity and compassion would not only help ease this burden, but also remind me that I am not alone in this fight.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Harman Veer S. Age 21
