<div>He wants to move to India eventually but now trying to make a living here at least until the Social Security starts, which will be in January next year. He’s now doing DoorDash/Uber just to get by but it is not enough. 
</div>
<div>Also, his car is not very robust. If you can get his car fixed, he can make it decent living doing Uber/DoorDash for now. 
</div>
<div>My friend is an exceptionally accomplished individual with a distinguished academic and professional background. He earned his <strong>Master’s degree in Physics from IIT Kanpur</strong> and went on to complete a <strong>PhD in Physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook</strong>. His research work has been published in <strong>prestigious international physics journals</strong>, including:

</div>
<div>Like many researchers, he eventually transitioned into the <strong>IT industry</strong> due to limited academic opportunities at the time. Despite having <strong>no formal computer science background,</strong> he built a highly successful IT career spanning <strong>more than 25 years</strong>. He has worked with several <strong>Fortune 500 companies</strong>, including <strong>Citigroup, Bank of America, Verizon, Sabre, and EDS</strong>, and spent over <strong>six years at Citibank</strong> in his most recent major role.
</div>
<div>In addition to his professional work, he has made meaningful contributions to the <strong>open-source community,</strong> creating and maintaining projects such as:

</div>
<div>Despite his remarkable qualifications and decades of experience, he has been <strong>unable to secure employment for over a year</strong>. He continues to actively search for opportunities, but if nothing materializes in the next two months, he plans to <strong>return to India</strong> to restart his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is intended to help cover <strong>basic living expenses and relocation costs</strong>, allowing him to make this transition <strong>safely, calmly, and with dignity</strong>—without the added burden of financial stress.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Someone of his background should not become homeless and freeze to death. </strong>Sometimes, the most capable people fall the hardest—not because they failed, but because they carried everything alone for too long. Your kindness, support, or even sharing this campaign can help change that story. Thank you for taking the time to read and for any help you are able to offer
