Hi everyone,

This is honestly very hard for me to write because I never imagined I would be in this position.

Over the past few weeks, my life changed completely after experiencing domestic and sexual abuse, harassment, revenge porn, theft, and a very painful legal and personal situation. Since then, I have been trying to figure out housing, safety, court matters, school, and simply how to get through each day normally again.

I am also an international student, which makes things even harder. After false narratives were spread about me following the abuse, I lost a lot of the emotional and financial support I once had from family and people close to me. At the same time, international students usually do not qualify for financial aid or many emergency support programs. I have worked extremely hard to build my education and future here in the US, and right now I am trying my best not to lose everything because of this situation.

I am raising funds to help with tuition, housing, food, transportation, counseling, legal-related expenses, replacing essential belongings, and basic day-to-day needs while I try to get back on my feet.

More than anything, I just want a chance to feel safe again, continue my education, heal from everything that happened, and slowly rebuild my life.

If you are able to help in any way, even a small donation or simply sharing this fundraiser, I would truly appreciate it more than words can say.

Thank you for reading my story and for showing kindness during one of the hardest times of my life.

AM
