Help me Complete my PhD Program

Hi everyone,

My name is Ife, a PhD in University of Sheffield in England, and my goal has always been to make a difference in the fight against cancer, but right now, I’m facing a heartbreaking reality—I may have to drop out of my program due to financial hardship. I’ve come so far in my journey, and I’m contacting you for support to continue working toward this dream. Despite my hard work and passion, the financial burden of staying in my PhD program has become overwhelming. Between tuition, research expenses, and living costs, I have reached a point where I can no longer cover these expenses on my own. I’ve exhausted all my options for financial aid and made countless sacrifices, but it’s simply not enough. I’ve worked so hard to get this far and I'm nearing the end of my PhD, but I’m now at risk of leaving the program and abandoning my research. This would be a devastating loss—not only for me but for the work I’m doing to advance pancreatic cancer research. With your help, I can stay in my program and continue the important work I’ve dedicated my life to. By pursuing this PhD, I will not only be working to make breakthroughs in cancer treatment, but I will also be inspiring young black women who dream of making their mark in science. By contributing to this GoFundMe campaign, you’ll be helping me cover the costs of my tuition fees for my PhD program. Your support means more than just keeping me in school—it means helping to ensure that cancer research is inclusive and reflects the needs of all communities. It also means standing behind a woman of colour who is fighting to break barriers in a field where diversity is sorely lacking. I’m not giving up on my dream, and I hope you’ll help me keep going. Every donation, no matter the size, will help me stay in my program and finish what I’ve started. If you’re unable to donate, sharing my story with others would mean the world to me. Your generosity will not only help me achieve my dream of becoming a cancer researcher but will also play a role in the larger battle against cancer which impact the lives of people battling pancreatic cancer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and supporting my journey.

With gratitude,

Ife
