I am raising funds for myself because I lost my PhD advisor and, with that, the funding I depended on to pay my tuition and continue attending classes. Right now, I am at risk of having to return to my home country if I cannot stay enrolled.

This situation has taken a heavy toll on me personally. I am constantly anxious and terrified about what will happen. Some days, the stress feels so intense that my heart beats very fast, I start sweating, I feel overheated, and my body shakes. It is hard to carry this uncertainty while trying to stay focused on school and my future.

How the funds will help:

• About $15,000 for tuition so I can remain enrolled and continue my PhD studies
• About $7,500 for living expenses, especially rent

Any support would help me stay in school and keep moving forward instead of losing everything I have worked toward. If you are able to donate or share this fundraiser, I would be deeply grateful for your help during this urgent time.
