Big Dreams, Bigger Impact: Help Sharon Study Abroad

Hello everyone,

My name is Sharon Sunaina, and I am thrilled to share that I have received an offer to pursue my higher education at the University of Glasgow, one of the world’s leading universities. This opportunity is a dream come true, one that brings me closer to my goal of becoming a leader in the tech and AI/ML fields, especially advocating for women in technology.

However, I am currently facing a financial hurdle. To secure my admission, I need to pay an acceptance deposit of £2,000 (approx ₹2,10,000) by 30th April 2025. Despite my efforts through savings, scholarships, and financial planning, I am short of this urgent amount.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you, my community of family, friends, and kind-hearted supporters for help.

A Little About Me:

- I am a final-year student in Data Science and Computer Science from Hyderabad, India.

- I serve as the General Secretary of my college’s Student Union and Vice President of the Women Empowerment Cell.

- I have completed internships in AI-ML development and public health data analysis.

- I am deeply passionate about using technology for social impact, promoting innovation, and empowering underrepresented communities.

Education has always been my pathway to growth and giving back. Studying at the University of Glasgow will equip me with global exposure, technical skills, and leadership abilities which I aspire to bring back to my community to inspire many others like me.

How Your Support Will Help:

- The funds raised will go directly toward my University of Glasgow deposit fee.

- Any amount you can contribute big or small will make a huge difference.

- Even if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser with your network would mean the world to me.

- The beneficiary is being shown as Tony Akash George Joseph who is my friend, who has offered his UK bank account to receive the funds and directly make the deposit to the University of Glasgow. My Indian bank account wasn't accepted by the portal. Due to the urgency of situation, I have added his account. If you like to clarify more on this, please reach out to me I'll be happy to share more information.

Gratitude:

I promise to carry forward the spirit of kindness and support that you show me today. Your contribution is not just an investment in my education, it's an investment in a future dedicated to innovation, empowerment, and making a positive impact.

✨ Update: Deadline Extended — A New Chance to Make It Happen! ✨

Hello everyone,

I’m incredibly grateful and excited to share that the University of Glasgow has extended my tuition deposit deadline to May 31, 2025!

Thanks to your generosity and encouragement, I didn’t give up even when things felt uncertain. This extension gives me another opportunity to secure my place in the university and pursue my dream of studying abroad and creating long-term impact.

If you’ve already donated—thank you so much! Your support still holds strong and will go directly toward the deposit and educational expenses.

If you're just discovering my story, there's still time to make a difference. Every donation or share brings me one step closer.

Let’s reach this new goal together. I have until May 31st.

With love and hope,

Sharon Sunaina
