Help My Husband Pursue His Dream PhD in Leicester

In 2020, my husband set his heart on pursuing a PhD. It was a dream rooted in passion, purpose, and a desire to create meaningful change. But life had other plans.

When I became seriously ill, he put everything on hold including his studies, his career to care for me. Through many hospital visits, difficult days, and finally surgery in 2024, he was my rock. He never once hesitated to put me first. His love and sacrifice gave me the strength to keep going.

Now, after months of healing and with my health almost fully restored, it’s his turn. He has just been offered a place in a PhD program at De Montfort University in Leicester, starting this October 2025.

His research is timely and deeply needed: "Exploring Servant Leadership and AI-Driven Innovation in the UK Third Sector." It’s a project focused on helping nonprofits and communities thrive through ethical, people-centered innovation.

This isn’t just an academic goal. It’s a calling. He wants to use this opportunity to make a real, lasting impact where it matters most.

But we can’t do it alone.

We’re reaching out for support to help cover the essential study-related costs. Every single donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to turning his long-deferred dream into reality.

If you’re not able to give financially, I would be so grateful if you could share this campaign with your network. Your voice and support mean the world to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping to write the next chapter in our life.

With deep gratitude,

Domingas Santo
