Help Aishwarya complete her Master's degree

Hello everyone!

My name is Aishwarya Kalyankar, and I am a current graduate student at the University at Buffalo (UB). I am pursuing MS in Biomedical Engineering at UB (last semester). Unfortunately, because of a family medical emergency and its corresponding expenditure, my family and I have been unable to put together the funding for my tuition since May 21'. University has put a financial hold on my account as I am not able to pay the accumulated fees, which is $17,439.83. Due to this, I cannot register for the last semester, i.e. Spring 2022, with a final deadline of 4th February 22. If I don't pay the fees by the deadline, the University will deport me as I would be out of F1(student) visa status without course enrollment.

My uncle was tested positive for Covid 19 and was in the hospital for four months. The entire family was praying every day that my Uncle would be in good condition, but as days passed, his health deteriorated, and HRCT revealed that his lungs were damaged more than 90%. We did try all lines of treatment and all possible ways to save him, but unfortunately, he couldn't survive. My family was the one who supported him financially in this challenging time and paid all the hospital bills, which was nearly 38 Lakhs INR.

I have worked extremely hard to come to this point and request your help to continue and complete my degree. I have tried all the other options such as loans, scholarships, financial aid from the university but to no avail. And now I have come down to the last resort of crowdfunding, where I see some hope.

I would be forever grateful if you could help me with any amount possible and help me complete my education.

Thank you!
