Hi everyone,

My name is Vansh Sharma (many of you may know me as Aishwarya Coe in drag.) I’m an international student at Algonquin College, now in my final semester and just one step away from finishing my program.

Thanks to your generous support, I’ve managed to cover half my tuition, but I’m still $3,000 short. My family in India is struggling—my father is too ill to work, and my mother is a housewife. I’ve been supporting them while trying to stay afloat here in Canada.

Despite applying everywhere, I’ve been jobless for over six months. I’m struggling to afford basic meals, and the pressure is overwhelming. If I can’t pay the rest of my tuition soon, I’ll be removed from my program and deported. With the war affecting my home country, my family can’t help me financially.

If you can, please donate—any amount truly helps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and compassion.
